About this listen

Corrupted.

This is the word that has defined Yu since her infancy. Her God Sign is corrupted and so she is a cultivator without cultivation. Frail and sickly, Yu is the only descendant of her mighty warrior lineage to live without strength, without purpose. She is a stain on the honor of her family, an embarrassment to her prestigious clan.

Hidden away, Yu comes to live with the constant scorn and ridicule of her peers. She is bullied, beaten, and bloodied. But she is never broken.

She dreams of one day proving herself worthy.

Defying her father’s wishes, Yu trains with her twin Jian swords, using her flawless memory to perfect their complex forms. Working in secret, she builds her martial skills to a level unheard of for her young age. But her skills mean little without cultivation.

Until she is given a chance—a chance to be reborn.

great story

This is a great story for those who already enjoyed listening to cultivation stories. The the author did a good job of character creation Most of the characters experience some sort of character growth throughout the entire sthroughout the entire story and some kind of hardship whether physical mental or emotional. And the reader does a marvelous job of Differentiating the difference between characters and ages

Well done

Entertaining and immersive. Characters are not over the top and believable. The writing/reader do a great job with good imagery while not going over-heavy on unnecessary wordage. In so many books in this genre the stats screen becomes horribly intrusive, compounded even further as an audiobook. This author makes perfect use of it, using it to enhance the story rather than as filler or a crutch. Highly recommend for anyone who likes this genre or style of story!

Great Coming of Age book!

I read/listen to tons of audible books but rarely leave reviews. This book has so few reviews and I don't understand why, unless it's because it just came out last summer. This is a great book. The world building AND character building is spot on. I love all the main plots and sub plots. This book is set up to be a multiple book series and I can't wait for it to continue. When I finished the first book I immediately found and bought the second book. Now, I have to wait on the third book. Bummer!! One thing you have to overlook is the female author's male voice. It's forced and is aggravating until you get used to it.

Hidden Gem

I can't believe this had not come across my recommendations sooner. Great story, great MC, great fights and world building. I'm a fan.

Great cultivation book

I really liked this cultivation book, you don't get much good ones and this has to be one of the best this year. I honestly can't wait to see what comes out of book 2, I think it'll be way better than one. I really liked this book, but I do have some complaints, which we'll get Into in the review.


Emily woo Zeller does good as always, she's one of the best female narrators there is, all of her voices are different. She can do tons of accents, and her voice is quite soothing. overall I think her narration skills are a 5 star and I also think she performed this book very well. I do have one reservation though, it's the voice for the Mc. I feel likes it's just way to high pitched and shy, it just feels annoying. Not to the point where I'm just completely mad over it, but her voice is really annoying. I don't know if others share the same opinion as me... but other than that, the performance is good, great even.



Now let's talk about the characters, I think that there written really well. I feel most of them have depth and good personalities, I do feel like some characters irked me, but not to much. there is actually something I want to talk about dealing with the Mc, I think she's written well, and personally I like her, but I do have some complaints. She whines and crys entirely to much, I get she's broken from what happened to her but some of the book just feels like a pity party. It's like whenever something big happens whether good or bad she's just crying. I honestly really didn't like this about the mc, and hopefully it's changed in book 2. there is also something else I don't really understand. it's her undying loyalty to her clan, it just doesn't make sense to me. she was beat by her clan, shunned by her clan. Doesn't she get if she didn't have the power she has they'd still be beating her? Even when it comes to her parents im still kinda mad. they don't give her any choices in affairs that involve her and she does nothing about it. I just think she's traumatized and can't understand she doesn't owe her clan anything, sure they provided food and other things, but she was treated badly while that was being provided. I honestly just don't understand, and it's quite irking to think about.
That might seem like alot, but it really isn't. I actually like the mc, and I also think she grew as a person in this book, I also think this book 1 was like a Introduction of whats to come.


Now let's talk about the plot, This is actually written very well, I think alot of stuff happened in this book and it was very interesting. I was very entertained when listening to this, it just kept on getting better and better. I rate the plot a 4.7 star.
Now let's talk about the world building, I also like this. I really like how the world is built, it also has its fair amount of detail. the cultivation system also is very good, I think it's a very enjoyable part of this book, I also think she grew alot, and I can't wait to see how much more she grows. I rate the world building a 5 star.

Now let's talk about the action, I love it. it's detailed, and the combat is just so good. I can't wait to hear more of it. the fighting is so enjoyable and entertaining.
I rate the action a 5 star.


I really liked this book, I actually recommend this book to anyone who likes cultivation books. it has a good narrator, and alot of other stuff. I think it has it's flaws, it also has it pros too though. I honestly can't wait to hear book 2.
