Kit Rocha are one of those authors I’ll follow just about anywhere. Except, apparently, into the realm of fantasy. As much as I wanted to love it as much as I love the rest of their books Consort of Dragons was most definitely Not For Me. There was a lot of great material and great characters, fantastic world building. It had all of the elements of a good book but fantasy isn’t my preferred genre and I found the whole book to be a slog. As I do with pretty much every other fantasy book I’ve read so it’s in no way a reflection on the authors. I do usually do better with fantasy in audio and do plan on eventually going back to see if the narrators can work some magic. As for this book and future ones in the series, I’ll be cheering the authors on and hoping for their success but I’ll be passing.

I decided to give this one another go on audio because sometimes changing formats can shake it up and I'm so glad I did! This book has everything I have always enjoyed from Kit Rocha. High stakes, high heat, all of the feels. The narrators did a fantastic job and brought the characters to life in a way simply reading it couldn't for me. Absolutely worth the read!
