About this listen

Perfect for fans of Mistborn and A Game of Thrones, this dark fantasy about a magical engineer turned thief has listeners raving.

The Dragon King rules with an iron fist and one woman has vowed to be his demise.

After a bloody conquest, the world of Loom is now ruled by Dragons. They oversee those beneath them from their sky cities with magic and cruelty.

Arianna is known as the White Wraith; an unscrupulous thief who will do anything as long as it defies her Dragon oppressors. She's spent her life working in the shadows, harboring a secret that would have her killed. A secret that will bring the Dragon King to his knees.

Joined by a trigger-happy gun mage and a Dragon prince who seeks to assassinate his king, Arianna sets out on an epic journey. The unlikely trio is Loom's last hope for freedom. But, for Arianna, this mission is personal. This is her last shot at redemption . . . and vengeance.

would highly recommend this for anyone who loves to get lost in a well built fantasy world. The plot is solid all the way through, the voice performances are excellent. I actually have nothing negative to say except I was actually disappointed when I got to the end and I wanted more. The ending was perfectly good though!

just a great story

I find it hard to actually read a book so I've been listening to this on my night shifts and it's honestly one of the best things I've come across as far as entertainment goes. Amazing books truly

Maybe I will return to listen to a few hours of this series every now and then but ultimately I find this series totally unfulfilling and I’m writing this review with 18 hours to go. The Protagonists are largely forgettable and the split perspective of this series does nothing to help that. I found myself wanting to skip the chapters of some characters because they were so pointless and were explaining information the audience already knows. I really wish that Florence had died in the first book somehow, I despise her.

I find both Arianna and Cvareh boring, their relationship is unconvincing and so are their motivations. Even though they don’t get together until the second book, I still feel like that was far too quick for them, I couldn’t convince myself that Arianna actually liked her partner. I’m still convinced that she must be using him (though that doesn’t make sense narratively). I don’t understand what they are trying to achieve and I feel like that should be the most important thing for the writer to make clear.

Where I am at, Arianna is in Nova to ascertain the character of Cvareh’s sister, obtain some unknown ingredient, and get revenge on some unknown dragon (pretty obvious who)? And she’s going shopping with Cvareh? And she needs Dragon hands so she can Illusion herself? And why does Cvareh need an army of Perfect Chimera to take over Nova? When it’s cannonical that his sister could just take over by duelling the King? The reasons why she doesn’t don’t seem to be explained? The questions are never ending, but I don’t feel any urgency to keep reading to have it explained.

The worlds of Loom and Nova are both kind of interesting but I found the inner mechanisms of the worlds unbelievable. Loom has a society that was built on the apparent mass-breeding of “the best” of their society all on one specific island and it makes me wonder about possibilities of in-breeding, how it would be possible to quantify the best breeding stock, STIs etc. while Nova as equally opposite and perplexing ideas of absolute family loyalty to the point where a character over hears a *minor* insult and attacks the person speaking during a covert mission. Bizarre world building that needed more care to be convincing. I did quite like the magical-steampunk setting though.

Super disappointed because I do like other books by Kova, I guess they can’t all be winners though!

Pretty forgettable **Spoilers**

The norative strength of the correctors, could have carried a little more depth. otherwise was okay.

I tried this audiobook as I was looking for something Steampunk and even though the steampunk element is not big enough for me, I must say that I went through the first two books quite easily.

My big issue with this Audiobook is the narrators.
Erin Moon is great: I believe she modulates her voice very well according to the story itself, increasing the drama where it needs to be increased and decreasing it during non-action scenes.
On the other hand I find Tim Campbell not at the same level of Moon. He has a great voice, but he doesn't give me that immersive feeling that Moon gives me: his pace is consistently the same in every scene, his voice expression doesn't really change according to the situation resulting - unfortunately - in a quite monotonous experience. I found myself not paying attention to what was going on in the book and when when Cverah's chapter we're too long, I couldn't stop myself to skip to the next chapter.

The story is nice, I really like the set up and the mix between the Japan-inspired world and the more Occidental-inspired one. The plot is quite interesting too, but I couldn't finish the third book as I switched to something with a more immersive narration.

Relaxing listening

I struggled to get into the story at first but by halfway through the first book I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I found the world very unique and interesting. If I was to describe it to someone I would say “Steampunk + vampire dragons” and just let people go from there.

Took me a while to get into but couldn’t get enough by the end!

There is no other way to explain the frankly weird pronunciation of common English words. It was jarring. Other than that, it was a good (not great) story that jogged along at a good pace. The world building was confusing at times but you could get the gist without any deep understanding of the subject, which infers the author could have spent more time on rounding out the characters.

good story, terrible AI narration

I was hooked from the first few minutes. Then it just gets better and better.
