STARLESS

Jacqueline Carey's writing flows so beautifully that her stories beg to be experienced on audio. Carey has many fans from her popular Kushiel series. This exotic coming-of-age story is filled with unique settings, diverse characters, and plenty of lore. Narrator Caitlin Davies's youthful voice adds to the authenticity of the main character, Khai, and helps ground the listener in the fantasy. As Khai forms a relationship with Zariya, the narrative comes alive. Listeners looking for something different will appreciate this unconventional stand-alone.
