Über diesen Titel
The chosen one is dead. Magic is going haywire. Time is running out.
When the King of Lirin murders Elenor's brother during a failed coup attempt, she must choose between turning a blind eye to her people's suffering or joining the rebellion and helping bring down the tyrant king. There's only one problem - the king is her father.
Helped along the way by a grouchy old doctor, a boisterous group of nobles, and a well-meaning assassin, Elenor is forced to dance between duty and defiance as she tries to save her kingdom.
Meanwhile, from the rainy streets of Lirin to the scorching dunes of the Mondaer Desert, the ripples of her actions have inadvertently broken a chain of events five centuries in the making. Ancient forces move in the shadows, calling in debts and striking deals. A monster with a thousand faces fingers his knife, ready to kill, and a pair of fugitives run for their lives.
Where Shadows Lie is a non-stop, epic fantasy ride featuring an LGBTQ+ and disabled protagonist and filled with court intrigue, sizzling romance, adorable baby dragons, and the battle between oppression and freedom. Dive in and get swept away!

The narrator is awesome but I don't like the story
What I like:
The book is well written and as I said the narrator is extremely good at what she does. She gives characters distinctive voices in tone and accent and she has a great singing voice (twice in this book). There are some good parts in the story that I really liked.
What I don't like:
This is my personal opinion and my taste in story telling..
I don't like character switches, which happen a lot.. For most of the book the supposed main character is just kind of a side character.
The summary paints this book in a really different picture so I would not buy this book on that alone especially the last sentence. The LGBTQ+ is just a side node and not really that prominent in the story it just pops up here and there. The disabled part in combination with the book-cover suggests that the main character is bound to a wheel-chair (which is not really the case) there is a wheelchair in this story for 2 minutes or so. The adorable baby dragon is also just a side node and not really important.
Conclusion:
For all who are interested in this book make shure you like multiple main characters, which are mostly unlikeable - schemes - more schemes - a little bit of magic and some resemblance of an epic fantasy.
I like the main character in the later half of the book even if she has unlikeable parts to her the most prominent issues I have with this book are as I said the switches in character and the allotted time for the main character (probably 3-4 hours of this book) the rest goes to other characters and are partly non relevant for the story so far.
