Birthright is the beginning of the story of Kita the fallen angel. This Ascension series explains Kita’s origins and the reason for her bloodlust. She has a berserking ability that makes her a fierce assassin and warrior. It also affects her emotions until she eventually learns to control it. This series is set in a medieval-style world with lords and ladies, knights etc. The next series, Game of the Gods, takes place after Kita has become immortal and has grown into her “fallen angel” nickname. It takes place in a larger universe and alien characters are added to the mix.

Kita is not the most likeable character but she is certainly one of the most complex. Despite her evil qualities, there are lines even she won’t cross and she is incredibly loyal to those who stand by her. I would recommend all Kita books to anyone who enjoys plenty of action and sci-fi. They’re reminiscent of some of the best anime series. You don’t have to be LGBTQ+ to really enjoy these books (and while this book doesn’t delve as much into Kita’s relationships, the next books will).

For the voice performance specifically: I loved it! The voice actress did an excellent job and even did the Scottish accent of the Arconians. Well done.
