WINGS ONCE CURSED & BOUND

Cindy Kay's expressive delivery welcomes the listener to the first installment of the Mythwoven fantasy series, in which fairy-tale and supernatural folk coexist. Hoping to save the next possible victim of the Red Shoes, which cause the wearer to dance themselves to death, vampire Bennet arrives too late. But Peeraphan is able to resist the shoes' deadly magic because she isn't fully human; she's a Thai supernatural being. Kay keeps the story moving through the slow-burn of Bennet and Perraphan's budding romance, as well as the slower pace of the tale itself. Although Kay's performance is enjoyable on its own, the production would have been more dynamic with the addition of another narrator for sections not from Peeraphan's point of view.
