Moira Quirk’s lively voice draws listeners into a magical Regency-inspired tale. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss C.L. Polk’s new fantasy audiobook that is sure to provide all the distractions you need right now. Beatrice Clayborn is a young ingénue entering her first “bargaining season” where eligible suitors vie for her hand. Once married, Beatrice will be forcibly cut off from any access to magic -- but she is desperate to become a sorceress. Quirk uses dramatic pacing and smooth transitions to balance the complex courtly politics and magical worldbuilding. Her voices for the mercurial spirits Beatrice summons are especially delightful.
