About this listen
An Ember in the Ashes meets Three Dark Crowns in this lush debut fantasy novel about a girl who disguises herself as a boy to join a secret group of warriors who ride phoenixes into battle.
I had a sister once....
In a world ruled by fierce warrior queens, a grand empire was built upon the backs of Phoenix Riders - legendary heroes who soared through the sky on wings of fire - until a war between two sisters ripped it all apart.
I promised her the throne would not come between us.
Sixteen years later, Veronyka is a war orphan who dreams of becoming a Phoenix Rider from the stories of old. After a shocking betrayal from her controlling sister, Veronyka strikes out alone to find the Riders - even if that means disguising herself as a boy to join their ranks.
But it is a fact of life that one must kill or be killed. Rule or be ruled.
Just as Veronyka finally feels like she belongs, her sister turns up and reveals a tangled web of lies between them that will change everything. And meanwhile, the new empire has learned of the Riders’ return and intends to destroy them once and for all.
Sometimes the title of queen is given. Sometimes it must be taken.
Crown of Feathers is an epic fantasy about love’s incredible power to save - or to destroy. Interspersed throughout is the story of Avalkyra Ashfire, the last Rider queen, who would rather see her empire burn than fall into her sister’s hands.

Story
Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton.... The land was filled with beauty, but it was also splintered by war. Out of the chaos grew a conspiracy to reawaken the Beast, a fearsome creature who wrought only tragedy and devastation. The only way to stop him was to fulfill an ancient prophecy: Triton’s four strongest warriors must wed its four most powerful witches, binding all nations together and finally bringing peace to the land.

Story
Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by. But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

Story
Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

So far, this is the best fantasy genre that I have listened to. The plot and the characters are great. Because the story is very entertaining, I finished listening to it in one day.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book
I was completely absorbed in this book. I love the world, but the strong female characters make it relatable. They are realistic, deep and fully defined. In the past 30 years the increase in female authors has resulted in believable female characters. Charlotte Gilman Perkins seems to me to have started the strong female characters with the Herland trilogy. I read that series many years ago and recognized how different female characters are when written by women.
The performances in this audiobook are delectable and truly bring the world to life.
Now, enough writing. I need to start the next book in this series!

it takes forever
this story is to slow for my liking. I couldn't finish it, the voice actors were great , it's more about the content written. I can deal with a slow burn or lots of story telling but here I'm 3 hours away from finishing and I honestly don't see the point. Don't waste your time

Slow to Start but worth sticking it out
At first I had a hard time follow this book, it was slow, confusing and I wasn't engaged, I even considered returning it. the switching back and forth of plots at first makes it hard to follow as do the snippets of quotes from other voice actors. However this book is worth sticking out, By the end I was totally enthralled and understood the authors desire to follow two separate characters. rich history the author paints for you through the story isn't all for nothing as some books are creating vast histories with no connection for the immediate story, however this book takes its vast history of the magical fictional world and makes it important and relevant. Narration was enjoyable as well.
