About this listen

Kiram Kir-Zaki may be considered a mechanist prodigy among his own people, but when he becomes the first Haldiim ever admitted to the prestigious Sagrada Academy, he is thrown into a world where power, superstition and swordplay outweigh even the most scholarly of achievements.

But when the intimidation from his Cadeleonian classmates turns bloody, Kiram unexpectedly finds himself befriended by Javier Tornesal, the leader of a group of cardsharps, duelists and lotharios who call themselves Hellions.

However Javier is a dangerous friend to have. Wielder of the White Hell and sole heir of a dukedom, he is surrounded by rumors of forbidden seductions, murder and damnation. His enemies are many and any one of his secrets could not only end his life but Kiram's as well. 

Contains mature themes.

When the narrator first started I was really put of but after the first few minutes I really likes his voice for the characters. I wish I'd waited for book two to come out before listening though because this ends on a cliffhanger

Loved it

Not sure I’ll be able to finish this book - the narrator has a weird cadence that makes the characters deeply annoying, and that’s on top of the fact that I already dislike the MC. Also a fair amount of logic missing and the names of the two peoples in the book are mentioned every other sentence. That gets old fast.

Really enjoyable well written story with likeable characters. Was dubious about the narrator to start but turned out good.

Interesting start

I really enjoyed this book. Great world-building, exciting plot, and likable characters. The narrator's performance brought an additional sense of warmth to the story and made the characters' come across as more likable.

Warm escapism

Brilliant and heartfelt storytelling. Extremely well-balanced story with multidimensional, fun characters. Lovingly and skillfully crafted world that is introduced to the reader so naturally and seamlessly.

It's definitely a favorite for me, and solid all-rounder, except for one thing: the narration. I really think a better narrator could have been chosen. Sadly, the narration hindered the story instead of elevating it. I just did not want to reflect my dislike for the narration in the overall rating of the book, since I love it much.
