CONFOUNDING OATHS The Mortal Follies, Book 2

Nneka Okoye narrates a delightfully queer and fiendishly magical Regency romance. After his sister, Mary, makes an ill-advised wish, John Cesar and the dashing Captain Orestes James do their best to save her from the result. Okoye dazzles in her role as Robin Goodfellow, the capricious fey narrator of the story. Her performance captures the arch tone and wry humor that are Robin's hallmarks. Okoye also skillfully portrays the myriad human characters, with their varied human accents. As Mr. Cesar and Captain James work to save Mary, they also grudgingly work on their own relationship, letting Okoye bare brutal emotional truths. While on the surface this audiobook seems like a simple piece of fluff, Okoye gives it an astonishing resonance that will linger. K.M.P.
