About this listen

From the award-winning author of the Dreamland series comes a new dark romantic fantasy about a young woman finding hope in her powers of destruction.

The Thief Kingdom is a place hidden within the world of Aadilor. Many whisper of its existence, but few have found this place, where magic and pleasure abound. There, the mysterious Thief King reigns supreme with the help of the Mousai, a trio of revered and feared sorceresses.

Larkyra Bassette may be the youngest of the Mousai, but when she sings her voice has the power to slay monsters. When it’s discovered the Duke of Lachlan is siphoning a poisonous drug from the Thief Kingdom and using it to abuse his tenants, Larkyra is offered her first solo mission to stop the duke. Eager to prove herself, Larkyra accepts by posing as the duke’s potential bride. But her plans grow complicated when she finds herself drawn to Lord Darius Mekenna, Lachlan’s rightful heir. Soon she suspects Darius has his own motivations for ridding Lachlan of the corrupt duke. Larkyra and Darius must learn to trust each other if there is to be any hope of saving the people of Lachlan - and themselves.

Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where lords and ladies can be murderers and thieves, and the most alluring notes are often the deadliest. Dare to listen?

I don’t 100% know how I feel about this book.
The burn is really really slow.
The world building is good and I like the premise around the magic and the three sisters.

I felt awful for the background of the mmc.
There is a hea for the songbird sister
No smut
There is a sex scene for those wanting to know so this makes it upper ya.
Quite a bit of violence in this book.
3 star listen. This has duel narration and I enjoyed the narrators.

I saw a few reviews complaining about the love story being too plain, but I liked it. The relationship is a nice break from other books (such as The Cruel Prince) - good if you want to have a break from heart break. Perfect book for someone new to fantasy.

A happy ending

I loved the beginning, it is such an interesting world premise.
But then the beginning ended and the middle started and I was worried I’d pull a muscle in my eyeball from rolling them so hard at cringe language.
DNF.

The idea is great but execution excruciating

I tried to get into the story but it was just so disjointed I gave up after chapter 10.

All over the place
