À propos de cet audio

Deadwood meets The Lord of the Rings in this epic fantasy of the West!

Hungry darkness, haunted guns, tunnels that move like snakes—the crystal mines of Medicine Rocks, Montana, are a place only the bravest and greediest dare. Discovered in 1866, the miraculous rock known as crystal quickly rose to become the most expensive substance on the planet, driving thousands to break the treaties and invade the sacred buffalo lands of the Sioux. But mining crystal risks more than an arrow in the chest. The beautiful rock has a voice of its own. A voice that twists minds and calls unnatural powers.

A voice that turns men into monsters.

Mary Good Crow hears it. Half White, half Lakota, rejected by both, she’s forged a new life guiding would-be miners through the treacherous caves. To her ears, the crystal sings a beautiful song, one the men she guides would gladly burn her as a witch for hearing. So, when an heiress from Boston arrives with a proposition that could change her life, Mary agrees to push deeper into the caves than she’s ever dared.

But there are secrets buried in the Deep Caves that even Mary doesn’t know. The farther she goes, the closer she gets to the voice that’s been calling her all this time. A voice that could change the bloody story of the West or destroy it all.

I really liked this

I quite enjoy Rachel Aaron's books and this was no exception for me. The story has great flow and I enjoyed the development of the three women in the story. The narrator has some weird pauses in sentences but had excellent differentiation in the voices. Overall it was an enjoyable listen and I jumped right into the second book.

Where was The Lord of the Rings?

I wanted to enjoy this book much more than I did. The premise and cast sounded fantastic. But the comparison to Lord of the Rings was misleading (aside from general fantasy elements and a journey) and the writing was not what it could have been, from info-dumps awkwardly shoved into dialogue to confusing/not organic character relationships, largely surrounding too-sweet Josephine. The final couple hours of the story were also chaotic, with too many “revelations” back to back, tying up some loose ends while creating more (I appreciate this is the first book in a series, but the lead into sequels was done in an unsatisfying way).
In summary, the book did not feel cohesive or as refined as I expected. I don’t feel that it delivered what was promised, and it was not worth the credit.
