About this listen

Goodreads Choice Award Winner, Best Young Adult Fantasy, 2015

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she's at last returned to the empire - for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past.... She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight. She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.

A masterpiece

Sarah J Maas you are a master storyteller, " queen of shadows" is a magnificent masterpiece, I can't wait for the next one, thank you. Elizabeth Evans your narrative is magnificent, you infused so much raw emotions in your voice and you make each character come alive and believable, thank you. Queen of Shadows is breathtaking, addictive, mesmerising, riveting, compelling and took me into a world full of magical creatures, but their struggles and emotions are so real that i cried, i smile and laugh.

Oh my heart

Great book. Just finished listening and my poor heart doesn’t know what to do with all these different emotions. So much pain and so much to celebrate. After binging the last couple books I’m going to take a beat to recover and reenter the real world as I know once I start the next book I will be entranced as though I’m wearing a ring myself.

NOW the SJM universe makes sense

beautifully written, world building and destroying. it is a masterpiece. The characters were so much more relatable now that we know bits of their backstory and Fire heart is a bad ass
