Review
I downloaded this book for free from Audible.com. I have never heard of the Chronicles of Elantra. Only as I was researching for this book did I see that this audio book is the anthology to a series of 8 books. That said...
This story of a teenage girl getting captured by a group called the Hawks was confusing and didn't leave me wanting to read more books in the series at all. The main character Kaylin has no real say in anything going on but starts to make a stand when she sees the body of a dead girl. Kaylin constantly says she is alone and that she comes form the side of town where this is no big deal. Then why does she care now that she is a prisoner of the side of town she has grown up disliking.
The story of a lost girl in a world where she creates a family from a group of random people is not new. This story is very similar to the Harry Potter series.
For audio books the narrator over powers the story. They can make it or break the story and the overall experience of the book. I was extremely annoyed by this narrators constant changing of voices for each character. (Which are way to many for a short story.) And the bad Jamaican accent for a Police Chief who is a hybrid of a lion and a human. Really? Have so many characters with similar sounding names does not help either.
I was lost from the begin of this story. The main character Katlin (12 years old) seems to be a very interesting character surrounded by mad adults. I was not interested in this one at all.
This book is number 6 in my 2012 Goodreads Challenge
