Narrator Ava Lucas brings this whimsical fantasy to life with her excellent character voices, warm tone, and flawless use of made-up slang. Dellaria Wells is a fast-talking con woman and fire witch who's used to looking out for herself and trusting no one. She answers a want ad for a female bodyguard, hoping for some easy cash, and winds up instead on a series of adventures, not the least of which is falling in love. Lucas captures the essence of Waggoner's lushly imagined world in her voice. She uses a clipped, steely tone for raised-on-the-streets Delly and a smoother, refined voice for her highborn love interest, Winn. Her assured yet playful narration will delight listeners just as much as Delly and Winn's irresistible banter. L.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
