Finished listening to the audiobook of Countess by Suzan Palumbo yesterday, and loved it. Virika‘s journey is fascinating, inspiring, and heartbreaking. Chanté McCormick does a fantastic job narrating it, too. #audiobook

I was enthralled...and then it was over! The ending felt too rushed.

Virika has given her life to the Empire. When her superior dies mysteriously, she is accused of murder & treason & imprisoned for 10 years. When she escapes, she only has one thing on her mind: revolution.

Wow! Bits of an enormous universe, but never too much. & we get such strong & interesting characters. I adored this twist on Monte Cristo! But I wanted more of the political intrigue, more of the romance, more of the revolution! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
