Ignited My Interests

Audiobook on Audible

I purchased this novel as a 2 for 1 deal that Audible had. I was not familiar with the author nor narrator. I previewed the sample which is what sold me on this title. 

The narrator is why I purchased this novel. Even though the story is about a 16 year old girl her voice was not annoying or high pitched. She did a fabulous job reading for the female lead in this story. When is came to the other male characters sometimes it was difficult to discern which was the older male and which was the younger male. 

Hanna Howard developed a wonderful story. I like that the female is unaware that she is special and yet has always felt out of place. All she wants is her parents approval and to be chosen as worthy by the Queen of darkness. Turns out she is the long lost sun child. The one who can bring light to the darkness. Now the need to escape is paramount. Her older mentor and childhood friend are there to help her. 

The plot was good. I like the elements of the story line created. The concepts were unique. However, I felt that the female was naïve, which just drove me crazy. There were times that I just wanted to slap her for her ignorance. I mean, why is it so hard to understand that you are in danger? Why keep putting yourself in dangerous situations? By the end, I felt there was more that should have been said. It ended suddenly and left me less than satiated. It ignited my interest but left me wanting.
