About this listen

I want him to hurt. To bleed. I want him to snap, just like he snapped me.

Once upon a time, my world was small and sheltered. Everything changed the moment I stepped over my Safety Line, barrelling towards a coupling with a man I hardly know.

He wants me. All of me.

Dunked in a charged political pit, I must secure the ships needed to quell the spill of murderous beasts still flooding the continent. But one wrong move could spur the war I’ve worked so hard to avoid.

I’ll wear the dress and the cupla and the shoes. I’ll do it all with a smile on my face. Because everyone's watching.

He’s watching—hunting a fissure in my frosty shield, trying to scrape back the layers and see my ugly insides. He’s unyielding. Unguarded. Changed. Why is he looking now when I’ve got everything to hide?

Secrets sprout, truths bloom, and more than one of us will snap.

Crowned in the crippling weight of my mistakes, I must atone. Even if it costs me my life.

Fear was my overlord. Now, it’s my prisoner.

To Snap a Silver Stem is the explosive sequel of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.

This book was much more fast-paced than book 1. The story and characters really have me hooked. I need to know how this all plays out. I don't want to say more because I don't want to drop any spoilers but I really enjoyed this book.

Great story that keeps you wondering however the main characters constant pining and guilt and wallowing became a little over bearing to the story and tiresome / stunted any story progression..

Great with a few grievances

I have no words for how much I adore this series. It’s dark, brutal (check your TW’s)—but beautiful and poignant. Can’t wait for book 3!

Absolutely breathtaking.

I have some very mixed feelings about this book.
I want to enjoy it and the characters. But Orthaithe does my head in with her constant woah me and I don't think I have any idea what's going on still... and it's the end of book two.

I am enjoying listening to the audiobook and the narrators are doing a great job. But the storyline is hard to follow and the characters don't seem to have a lot of depth so far. 🤔

I do love all the description however sometimes it feels like too much. But the author definitely does a good job of setting the scenes and showing feelings.

I will continue to listen as I want to try to understand what on earth is going on!

Beautiful descriptions

Unless you enjoy incessantly whiney FMC’s with no character growth do yourself a favour and pick something else.

Narrators were good.
