About this listen

The Blood of the Earth. The Breath of the Wind.

Lochlann Wilde is a true summoner at last, earning his Crest, the admiration of his peers, and a hunky fae prince in one fell swoop. With the headstrong Prince Sylvain at his side, Locke is finally ready to walk in his father’s legendary footsteps.

And to collect his inheritance, too, except for what he finds in the family vault. No one said anything about a fast-talking familiar. They certainly never mentioned a dragon.

But deeper danger awaits. Sylvain and Locke must untangle the twisted curse threatening to strangle all life, first in the Oriel of Earth, and now in the Oriel of Air.

They must face the Withering.

Lord of Leaves is the second book in the Wild Hearts series, a series set within a fascinating paranormal universe that features magic, alternate realms, and magical species of all kinds. This series is set within the same world as Nazri Noor’s Arcane Hearts series, but it completely stands on its own. I love that the author has revisited this world because I find the worldbuilding to be really interesting and intricate. I do recommend reading/listening to Lord of Leaves right after the first book – the Wild Hearts series is best enjoyed in order because each book builds on the next.

Locke and Sylvain are hilarious and I can’t get enough of their relationship. Their sass and banter is incredibly entertaining, but their tenderness and care for each other doesn’t get lost in all the humor. I love the mixture of romance and humor paired with action and an ever evolving mystery. Locke and Sylvain may seem shallow and silly at first glance (which is why they are so funny), but I’m really pleased to see how much their characters have developed and grown. Both Locke and Sylvain are more than what they seem, and I’m just as intrigued to see how they change and grow in the next couple of books as I am learning the secrets behind the Withering mystery. I also really enjoy the introduction of Satchel – he’s fantastic! – who adds humor and warmth with his sassy, yet endearingly vulnerable, personality.

Greg Boudreaux narrates the audiobook and does an amazing job. I was blown away by how well he voiced Satchel’s pixie voice. Greg has a versatile voice and he really brought all the characters to life. I loved how he performed this audiobook and I was completely engrossed in it. The audiobook production was also well done.

I’ll start by saying I’ve waited ages for this coming out and I was not disappointed!

Greg Boudreaux is honestly perfect for these characters, but particularly the haughty Sylvain.

Storywise, I loved the introduction of some new characters and the further development of Locke and Sylvain’s relationship. I can’t wait for the next installment and their further adventures. Super enjoyable listen, I love Nazri Moor’s brand of humour - I binged the whole thing in one day!

Brilliant

I find these books particularly short. it doesn’t leave much time for character development or world building… However, that said, the characters are sweet, and endearing. And the story has enough bite to leave a lasting flavour… I hope the author springboards from this writing into larger and more in-depth fantasy… potentially in the same world to give us a larger and more detailed view.

Good fun

It is always a pleasure to read Nazri Noor's prose; it's an even greater pleasure to listen to the story when deftly performed by the excellent voice actor, Greg Boudreaux :)
This is not a standalone, so is best enjoyed after Lord of Flowers (which I loved as well!). Loch and Sylvain continue to be an engaging couple, their push/pull, banter and snark not wavering. Greg Boudreaux has a way of voicing their snark that makes me laugh out loud. He also is a master at portraying their more sensitive times, making me swoon.
I am enjoying this new world that Nazri has created and looking forward to starting the next book.
Definitely recommend the audio experience!

Great sequel!

It was a pleasant read. Plot-wise, I didn't care ; it was dragging and kind of felt like nothing really happened. But I still loved the characters and will read the next book.

Good
