A Hymn Of Lies And Longing (Fantasy Audiobook)
katastrofree for Queen Magdalynn "Lynn" Lousvar
Lynn, our leading lady, grew up a merchants daughter with a love for painting and flowers. She was thrown into royal life when she caught the eye of King Abaddon, and her family was more than happy to arrange the marriage despite Lynn's hesitance. Now she's the queen, married to a king who does not love her, and looking for small comforts in her art and her adorable little son. She's strong willed and opinionated, but it's a gentle strength, and she can sometimes be viewed as a little too prim and proper. Over the course of the story she comes out of her shell a bit and learns to have fun. (She also gets to experience a positive romantic relationship, so yay for that.)
As far as her voice goes, I imagine a warm alto, but I'm open to any interpretation so long as its not shrill or whiney. Lynn is 26 years old.
If you'd like to play Lynn you must be comfortable playing a romantic lead in occasionally suggestive situations.
(Speaking to her four year old son.) "Jareth, sweetheart, mashed potatoes are for eating. If you so desire to try your hand at painting, I can give you proper lessons."
(In response to her husband, who has just slapped her, saying "You had better learn to get that boy under control.") "That boy is your son. Perhaps you could show a little interest in him?"
(Dancing with Azir for the first time, he's just said something flirtatious and Lynn is Not Having It. Azir: "Have I said something wrong?") "Yes, and I believe you're aware of it." (Lynn steps away from him and curtseys stiffly) "Thank you very much for the dance, now I would kindly ask that you do not approach me again."
Thank you dear, this is wonderful. Love the emotion on that middle line especially!
