About this listen

The seductive and action-packed follow-up to Alex Aster's instant #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling novel, Lightlark

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark's seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven't ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla's midst who don't believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.

Alex Aster's intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla's memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

I enjoyed the narration and I didn't feel the need to skip or that the story was dragging. It flowed and went at a good pace.
I did enjoy the character development through out this and the first book.
I listened to the first book on Libby.

OMG what it up with that ending? There better be more books! I've been trying to research if there's a 3rd book, but haven't found anything through google search.
I need to know what happens next!
Also I still can't decide who I want her to end up with? Yeah the memories and all that with Grim, but I want more with Oro. Grim just seems like a basic choice, but I feel like Oro could be more interesting. Although this book I swear there wasn't enough of her and Oro romance moments it was more about Grim. Yes I do normally like the bad boy, but it seems like the obvious choice. It also feels like there's nothing more exciting about him after the memories. Anyway rant over definitely give this a book a go.

I highly recommend this series!

The series is great but I wish someone had explained to the narrator that the MFC name is pronounced "Eye-Luh" not "Eye-z-Luh" or that they'd done a google search before hand.
