About this listen

A ruthless young assassin continues her journey for revenge in this new epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Jay Kristoff.

WINNER OF THE THE AUREALIS AWARD FOR BEST FANTASY NOVEL

Conquer your fear, conquer the world.

Mia Corvere, destroyer of empires, has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry do not believe she has earned it.

Her position is precarious, and she's still no closer to exacting revenge for the brutal death of her family. But after a deadly confrontation with an old enemy, Mia begins to suspect the motives of the Red Church itself.

When it is announced that Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo will be making a rare public appearance at the conclusion of the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia defies the Church and sells herself into slavery for a chance to fulfill the promise she made on the day she lost everything.

Upon the sands of the arena, Mia finds new allies, bitter rivals, and more questions about her strange affinity for the shadows. But as conspiracies unfold, secrets are revealed and the body count rises within the collegium walls, Mia will be forced to choose between her loyalties and her revenge.

Honestly, I couldn't find a complaint to make here if I tried. Plot, character development, structure, they're all managed artfully and the voice actor is the cherry on top of an already ridiculous cake.

Flawless

Oh kristoff delivers yet again! I couldn't stop Listening. I loved the return of some of my old favourite characters and the introduction of the new. WELL worth the listen! The only problem now is having to wait for the next one!

Absolute brilliance!

The story is great, predictable but still fantastic, although I’m not to keen of the reading, mostly because of the way Eclipse is described as being female but the voice the reader givers her is a very husky humans voice.

Fantastic but why does the person reading make Eclipses voice male

This is an outstanding sequel to the first book.

I genuinely thought I wouldn't enjoy the book, however it was riveting and compelling. Admittedly there were sections that were less enticing. Overall the feel remained true to the first book.

I enjoyed the character development, and whilst I didn't agree with the character actions I did find that the actions were true to character.

It was also satisfying to watch the word building and learn more of the dark.

I read the first book, so coming to terms with the reader took a little while. By the end I felt he fit the book well.

It's nice to listen to a book with a realistic female protagonist. She makes no apologies for being broken.

A surprisingly enjoyable sequel

Dive into this series - it is action-packed and full of grim raw fantasy. Love it. We go deeper into the background story but it is still as good as book 1, ending with an almighty cliffhanger. Wonderful - do yourself a favour!

Dive right in

Sickeningly good

whilst I would still prefer a female narrator given the protagonist is female, I enjoyed the story and the narrator did do a good job of building tension. I enjoyed it just as much as the first one.

Great Book doesn't disappoint
