À propos de cet audio

Two masters of epic fantasy have combined in this brilliant collaboration to create a rousing tale. This is the story of Shana, a half-breed born of the forbidden union of an Elvenlord father with a human mother. Her exiled mother dead, Shana was rescued and raised by dragons, a proud, ancient race who existed unbeknownst to elven or human kind. From birth, Shana was the embodiment of the Prophecy that the all-powerful Elvenlords feared. Her destiny is the enthralling adventure of a lifetime.

A very interesting experience...

This has to have been one of the oddest titles I have encountered.

The writing is... not good. It's hard to get into without giving spoilers, but there is a writing device the author uses over and over again to the point where I started laughing every time it occured.

Instead of writing out a dramatic scene or conversation, the author uses what I will call "time skips". For example: A main character is in a situation where they had better explain themselves quite brilliantly or they could be in a lot of trouble. Instead of writing the "brilliant explanation", the author will have the character realize they had better come up with something clever, then skip the conversation and resume the narrative right after with the character saying something to the effect of "Wow! I sure am glad I thought of that."

Over and over and over again.... things happen in the novel, but the author skips the actual climax of the scene and carries on. It was almost comical. I'm still trying to figure out how they got away with that in a published book! They even do it in the final climax of the story, resolving the conflict off screen.

Now, that being said, the story itself isn't bad. It's a very neat concept and once the story got going I was interested enough to finish it.

Overall.... it's not boring. I was entertained. It isn't GOOD, but it wasn't bad either. The writing style and choices are almost so poor, they add a meta level of entertainment if you take the time to Mark them and ponder how or why they were included.

I may go and read the next book in the series to see how it goes. I can't say if I recommend it or not. I certainly wouldn't point anyone towards it without warning them of the above.

Fantastic Reading

Aasne did a fantastic job of reading, reading with emotions and consistently keeping the various characters the same!
