About this listen

London is a powder keg...and Eliza Braxton is the match.

Imagine a London where magic is real...real, but feared. This is Eliza Braxton's London, and she has always accepted her place in it gladly. As one of the Riftborn, her magic has relegated her to the servant class, where she dutifully serves as the lady's maid in one of the most powerful households in the country. There, she uses her remarkable powers of persuasion to keep Elder Hallewell's rebellious daughter in the path to an arranged match of power and prosperity. Eliza has never questioned her loyalty...until now.

Currents of discontent are roiling beneath the city's surface, and Eliza's comfortable existence is about to be caught up in the tide. A resistance is building, a resistance that covets Eliza's talents above all else. But can Eliza betray everything she's ever known for things she never dared to dream?

The story is very good and I will read books 2 and 3 rather than subject myself to listening to the narrator again. Whoever thought she was the right narrator for any book quite honestly needs to rethink. The only way I managed to finish the audio book was to speed her voice up. It made it barely tolerable.

Dreadful narrator

This narrator does the WORST. ACCENTS. EVER! It completely ruins what is otherwise a decent story. And she ends every sentence with a long sounnnnddd. Mary Sarah should be banned from narrating any books where English accents are required.

Tha narrator ruined it, awful accents

The narration totally spoiled this book. It was only the fact that the story and writing were good that kept me going with it. I love E.E. Holmes books.
The only way I could bear listening was to put the audio speed up to 1.25.
But then found myself shouting at my phone correcting mis-pronunciations
the one that really grated was 'back' pronounce " bark" and 'backwards' as "barkwards" amonst many others. As a rule I don't post negative comments but its such a shame the book was spoiled...

Awful narration

I had really been looking forward to this because I’d enjoyed the Gateway trilogy and the Gateway Trackers so much but the narrator reading this book is awful. I can’t concentrate on the story because the of way the narrator is reading. Very disappointed.

Terrible Narrator

Loved all of E.E Holmes books to date and was really looking forward to this one. Huge disappointment. Story was ok but the narrator was terrible she really got on my nerves.
