Book description
Imagine this: a glittering spring ball where the air crackles with more than just champagne. That's the electrifying opening of Hexes Fly (Caldryn Parliament Book 2), and it's pure magic to hear. The audiobook instantly pulls you into the gilded chaos of Caldryn Parliament's Spring Term, where a single misstep turns glamour into utter pandemonium. Just as the witches dance, rival clans unleash curses-transforming bystanders into startled squirrels, forcing them into off-key ballads, or plunging them into deep, enchanted sleep. The sheer, chaotic sound of it in audio is brilliant: the clink of glasses, the gasps, the sudden, impossible yips of a transformed student.
Vanda Kavanagh, the Warden (and our brilliant, no-nonsense guide), is instantly relatable. She's not a witch, but she's got the sharp mind and weary patience of someone who's seen too many political messes. The audiobook nails her voice-pragmatic, observant, utterly baffled by the magical mayhem-but also deeply empathetic. You feel her frustration as the witches insist they didn't mean to hurt anyone, and her suspicion deepens: Why can't they fix this themselves? The mystery of the "stalking horse" pulling the strings feels urgent, personal, and layered. You're right there with Vanda, piecing together clues while the clock ticks relentlessly toward the next full moon-permanent curses are coming.
What makes this audiobook soar isn't just the plot, but how the narration immerses you. The tension isn't just in the words; it's in the pauses, the subtle shifts in the narrator's tone as Vanda uncovers a new layer of deception. The ballroom scene? You can hear the panic, the confusion, the sheer absurdity of it all. And the ticking clock deadline? It's not just a plot device-it's a palpable, breathless pressure you feel in your bones as you listen. Jenny Schwartz has crafted a world where magic feels alive, political intrigue is razor-sharp, and the stakes are terrifyingly personal. You'll race through the audio, not just to solve the mystery, but to hear Vanda's next perfectly timed, no-nonsense line of reasoning. It's clever, fast-paced, and utterly addictive-proof that sometimes, the most powerful magic is the story you hear, not just read. Don't just pick up this book; listen to it. You won't regret a single minute.
