Nala’s Story – Free Full Audiobook
Nala’s Story is a literary fiction book by author Mark Gardner.
Nala and her sister lived life as slaves during the Han Dynasty. A chance encounter at a market leads Nala on a mission to protect her sister from evil, while learning that not everything is as it seems. Can she save her sister and herself before it’s too late?
Nala’s Story reminded me of the parables I grew up reading (yeah, I’m that old). It started out in a way that had me guessing as to what it would ultimately be about but the story played through quite nicely with the exotic backdrop of ancient civilizations that are rarely touched in historical fiction (kudos to the author for this).
The few action scenes were well-written, and I found myself able to follow along with them without the urge to skim. Nala, though I wished we got some more development with her–since I ultimately disliked her–was the classic fearless, femme fatale, that we’ve all seen in just about every show, book, or movie, and I wanted to get another dimension out of her besides the stabbing, the death-before-dishonor attitude, and the “I’m cold until you get to know me” attitude that comes with these types.
The Champion on the other hand was the character that really shone for me. The few interactions we get with him whets the appetite for more, and really urges us to get into the series to see this man in action as well as deal with his situation. Nala’s sister was spectacular and I would have loved to see such a vulnerable, human, girl like her be the one to shine. Part of my reason is slavery. If a slave is broken there is a reason, and Nala made me wonder who in their right mind would put shackles on her, unbroken? May as well try to enslave a rattlesnake. Nala’s sister on the other hand was ultimately more likable and believable in her position, but this is all my opinion so I’ll shut up now.
