Shattered Kingdom

Written by Angelina J. Steffort

Narrated by James Wolven

Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

Sworn to a goddess. One with her blade. A heart yet unbroken.

It would have been only one more year of training. One year in the dust and wind of the Calma Desert. But Gandrett Brayton’s fate storms in disguised as a beautiful stranger with a damning secret.

As he forces her into the service of the lord who tore her from her mother’s arms ten years ago to commit her to the Order of Vala, Gandrett is left with a choice: run, or work for the man she despises and earn the chance to see her family again.

Trained with all the weapons she can wield with her hands, Gandrett must learn that at the courts of the shattered kingdom of Sives, her sword won’t help her-- especially when it is her own heart on the line.

★★★★★ “Fae, magic, and a heart-throbbing adventure will keep readers entranced until the last page.”

Reviews for Shattered Kingdom

[Tabitha Brunson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a spoiler free information summary based on the first book only:
Main character: white het human female 17 years old. *(I dont think there is any reason this character couldn’t have been at least 20yo, which would make me more comfortable with the mature aspects of the book)
Main counterpart: white het fae male at least 800 years old
Age rating: 15+
Spice 1/5 Angst 3/5
World building: much like Acotar
Magic system: deity based, some born with certain powers some not
Trigger warnings: anecdotal descriptions of physical abuse of children and religious human trafficking.
Secondary conflicts caused by miscommunication, misunderstood intentions and secrets.
POV switches between characters often, especially in the rest of the series.
Narrator is male, but not insufferable when it comes to voicing female characters but pronounces words stupidly (iron: I-run, chiffon: she-fawn, silhouette: sil-ho-wet etc).
Some things in the book have strange words in place of things that would make more sense but bothering that skews the general idea of what is being said. The structure of some of the sentences is also kinda strange, and I wonder if it’s due to the punctuation in the book rather than narrator error. It also could be as a result of translation from one language into English? Not sure.

The voice actor grew on me after a while because the story intrigued me so much
