The Fragment of Water audiobook – The Shattered Soul, Book 1

Wrapped in a cozy blanket, with a mug of hot cocoa in hand, I sat by my window listening to The Fragment of Water by Ben Hale, narrated by Derek Perkins. As a 30-year-old woman, it felt more than just a story; it felt like a journey through the depths of introspection, reminding me of the times when I’ve felt fragmented, seeking to become whole again.

Ben Hale’s writing took me on a riveting adventure with Draeken, a powerful entity split into fragments. The notion of a formidable being divided into segments and losing its essence was both intriguing and deeply metaphorical. Each fragment, representing different facets of Draeken’s personality, mirrored the varying emotions and phases we go through in life. The story beautifully conveyed the idea of self-discovery, unity, and the importance of coming to terms with different parts of oneself.

The narrative’s atmospheric tension is palpable when the fragment of water sets out to unravel the mysteries of the ancient creatures. This part resonated with me deeply, reminding me of my personal quests, seeking answers to life’s profound mysteries.

Derek Perkins’ voice added another layer to the experience. With every modulation, twist, and turn in his narration, I could visualize the fragmented world, feel the urgency, and the looming threat from the ancient race of Krey. The audio experience became a blend of the intricate tale and the alluring rhythm of Perkins’ voice.

By the time I finished listening, the story left me pondering over the fragments of my own life, the moments of unity, and the periods of dispersion. The Fragment of Water isn’t just a tale of magic and ancient powers; it’s a tale of introspection, realization, and becoming whole.
