CRYSTAL AWAKENING Shattered Legacy, Book 1

Travis Baldree and Emily Lawrence ground an epic quest in which the six mages of the Guiding Star Legacy team fight to reach the top of the legendary Tortoise Spire. If they succeed, they earn the right to ask the goddess to grant a wish, but with each room they enter, the puzzles become harder and the foes tougher. After the team finds a mysterious crystal shard with a tragic history, they're thrust into a quest that will further challenge their skills and humanity. While Baldree's and Lawrence's individual depictions offer deep character-building, their overlapping narration of certain characters is inconsistent and disconnected at times. Still, their performances underscore the immersive potential of this new high-fantasy series. A.A.H. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
