About this listen
Seraphina took the literary world by storm with eight starred reviews and numerous "Best of" lists. At last, her eagerly awaited sequel has arrived - and with it comes an epic battle between humans and dragons.
The kingdom of Goredd: a world where humans and dragons share life with an uneasy balance, and those few who are both human and dragon must hide the truth. Seraphina is one of these, part girl, part dragon, who is reluctantly drawn into the politics of her world. When war breaks out between the dragons and humans, she must travel the lands to find those like herself - for she has an inexplicable connection to all of them, and together they will be able to fight the dragons in powerful, magical ways.
As Seraphina gathers this motley crew, she is pursued by humans who want to stop her. But the most terrifying is another half dragon, who can creep into people’s minds and take them over. Until now, Seraphina has kept her mind safe from intruders, but that also means she's held back her own gift. It is time to make a choice: Cling to the safety of her old life, or embrace a powerful new destiny?

Excellent sequel!
Exactly what I needed as a reader, a conclusion that gives me room to create further stories and conclusions. Wonderful listen!

Killed by the narrator
The voice is pure RP, but the delivery ... I thought I could cope with the sing-song narration. I might have stopped grinding my teeth eventually. But then there was the dreadful wrong emphasis in one sentence after another, chapter after chapter, eviscerating not just nuance but meaning. Where you might expect something like "he entered by the other door" to emphasise 'other' as the writer intended and indicating the character's choice, this narrator will invariably put the stress on either "he" or 'entered' and this is a very mild example. You are left with the sense of being read to by a bright high-schooler who does not really get the story or understand the information the writer intends to convey. The whole experience is like being listening to nails being drawn down a chalkboard. I'll certainly return this, buy it as a Kindle book and read it over again with some enjoyment. When I have got over this ghastly audio experience.
