About this listen

New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns with a brand new novel in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, Songbird and the Heart of Stone, where A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Dante's Inferno, in an epic fantasy romance of love and treachery between mortals and gods.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible.

But when Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his scars, she's forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.

Yet, Mische's punishment may be the key to her salvation. In a secret meeting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to betray him… by killing the god of death.

Mische and Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials, beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet, most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness—and her forbidden attraction to Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks invoking the wrath of gods.

As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in, and angry gods are growing restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the darkness.

Although I absolutely love this series it was hard to listen to the voice of Mischa- a very high pitched and weird intonation really put me off. Better than some AI voiced books, but still, not very pleasant experience for me personally.

Great story ending with a cliffhanger

Ok so I may be in the minority but this book just didn’t hit the mark for me. The first half of the book was a slog & I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish it! The only reason I kept on was that I have loved all of carissa’s other books. This story just felt too much, too many creatures & repetitive battle scenes etc. i wasn’t invested enough in the developing romance to care what happened until near the end. I also didn’t like any of the characters apart from the main ones & Lucy the dog!!! I did enjoy misches backstory it was very well developed & feed throughout the story. Quite heartbreaking really!
The ending was good though & I didn’t see the twists but it all got good too near the end. I will read the next book when it eventually comes out as overall I love this series & now see potential for the next book.

Feel very conflicted with this book as didn’t love it!

This is a series that goes from strength to strength. What an ending, sitting patiently or not waiting on the next installment. You will not regret picking up The Serpent and the Wings of Night and to start the story!

I really enjoyed the first two books I'm this series but this book took it to a whole new level! The story, the romance, the spice was all perfection! The cliffhanger and character reveal at the end, epic! I can't wait until the next book, I think this duology will be may fave!!! if I had one wish it would have been for it to be dual POV but that would have just been a bonus ans you get a taste of it in the epilogue. a must read!

Epic

Another wonderful book to add to the series. It’s so descriptive, I felt I was there in every page.
It’s hard to review without giving all the best bits away, but I will say it’s a fantastic story with a powerful ending. I can’t wait for the next book!

This book does not let you down!

Female voice actor is brilliant. So expressive. (Kinda sounds like Reece Witherspoon). Could listen to her forever. Bit disappointed male voice was only for the epilogue. Do wish this is highlighted before purchase. Good story - didn’t drag or dwell on tiny details, keep my interest. Obviously going to be another book as the story isn’t finished. Not much tension between mc’s. One love scene and it was worth the wait.

Great performance.

I struggled to get into this story and some of it was down to finding it a bit jarring to be with another character but most of it was from the narrators voice - is a vampire in an ancient fantasy world really going to have vocal fry? it also seemed like the narrator was reading it for the first time when recorded as some of the intonation and emphasis makes for a very stunted delivery. Story-wise I didn't find it as enticing as The Serpent and the Wings of Night. I don't think it's bad but it's not great.

Not the best from this series
