Summary

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.

Loved it

What a ride. This series just gets better and better. It was that good that the narrator, who I've loathed in the previous books, didn't even bother me. I'm invested in so many of the characters that although I'm dying to listen to the next book, I'm nervous as hell as I don't want anything happening to them. Love this series.

Elizabeth Evans is the best voice actor!

I keep forgetting to mention in my other reviews that ELIZABETH EVANS is the best narrator. I am so glad she is the narrator for the whole series. It’s so hard to get back into when it changes, but regardless she is so utterly incredible for these books. I was astounded at all the different voices she can do and none of them sound like her. It is like magic! Every character is believable, even the most aggressive husky male voice. I hope she narrates future SJM audiobooks. I feel like I would listen to a book I’m not even interested in if I saw she was narrating it. Thank you EE! You have really perfected your craft.
And of course the book was amazing, SJM blows my mind with how she can make you feel every feeling and emotion she describes. Truly, thank you

Amazingly Gripping!

This series does not disappoint at all - I tend to listen to them during my commute to and from work and this story is really immersive! The plot has got so many twists and turns, just when I was certain something was coming everything changed! Sarah J Mass really does know how to keep readers/listeners on their toes....carrying on with the series, determined to complete them all before New Year and then maybe listen all over again!!
