Son of the Shadows audiobook – Sevenwaters, Book 2

In the peaceful serenity of my garden, surrounded by blooming flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves, I embarked on a captivating journey with Son of the Shadows audiobook by Juliet Marillier. This second installment in the Sevenwaters series continued to weave a tale of love, sacrifice, and destiny that had me enthralled from start to finish.

Liadan, the daughter of Sorcha from the first book, takes center stage as she faces her own trials and challenges. As she navigates her responsibilities to her family and her duty to fulfill her mother’s legacy, Liadan is torn between finding true love and protecting those she holds dear. Marillier expertly explores the complexities of love and its potential for both fulfillment and destruction.

Rosalyn Landor’s narration breathed life into each character, capturing their emotions and struggles with precision. Though initially unfamiliar with Landor’s voice in this series, I quickly grew accustomed to her interpretation and found it complemented Marillier’s writing beautifully.

Son of the Shadows delves deeper into the world of Sevenwaters, revealing new layers of intrigue and danger. The author skillfully balances romance with political unrest, creating a story that keeps you on edge until the very end. With each passing chapter, I found myself more invested in Liadan’s journey and eager to discover what lay ahead.

As I reluctantly reached the conclusion of this audiobook, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and anticipation. Juliet Marillier has crafted a series that hooks you from page one and refuses to let go. With Child of the Prophecy beckoning next in line, it’s clear that this enchanting saga is far from over.
