My Review

The Exiled Queen Audiobook by Carol Monda is available for free, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in a captivating and intricately woven story. While we may crave to devour the entire tale at once, the author tantalizingly unveils the plot piece by piece, leaving us hungry for more.

The book boasts a strong foundation with well-developed characters, a compelling setting, and a rich history that drives the current events. The main protagonists are not only likable but also relatable, making us feel as though they are our friends. Conversely, the villains are appropriately detestable and pose a real threat. Witnessing the growth of these characters has been an absolute delight.

What truly makes The Exiled Queen Audiobook an extraordinary experience is the exceptional narration by Carol Monda. She effortlessly brings each character to life through distinct accents and speech patterns. Monda’s consistent pronunciation, wide range, and smooth voice make the entire series a pleasure to listen to.

Despite the exceptional narration, I must admit that as a reader, I found myself somewhat disgruntled. While certain scenes were vivid and suspenseful, particularly in the Shivering Fens, I grew impatient with the pedantic writing style, irritated by the romantic developments, and annoyed by the ending. The story concludes on a major cliffhanger, leaving me dangling precariously, desperately awaiting the next installment.

The author’s “leave-no-thought-unwritten” writing style became a hindrance. The incessant internal dialogue of the characters serves only to reiterate information already gleaned from the events and conversations. These mental asides interrupt the flow of the story, offering nothing new and restating obvious information. Furthermore, they sometimes restate previous passages, italicized, which felt repetitive. Additionally, plot twists are foreshadowed too heavily, robbing the reader of the joy of unraveling the mysteries themselves.

Furthermore, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between The Exiled Queen and the Harry Potter series. From a Snape doppelgänger to a group reminiscent of Malfoy and his cronies, the book seemed to mirror the familiar tropes of Hogwarts. While I don’t mind revisiting these tropes if they are well-written and captivating, in this case, it felt unoriginal and detracted from the overall enjoyment of the story.

In conclusion, The Exiled Queen Audiobook by Carol Monda offers a gripping tale with complex characters and a richly imagined world. While the narration is outstanding, the writing style and certain plot elements may leave some readers feeling dissatisfied. Nonetheless, for those seeking an engrossing fantasy adventure, this audiobook will undoubtedly provide hours of entertainment.
