About this listen

Love kills kingdoms …

Back in Grim’s castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two.

Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.

As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle’s final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.

With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world—or destroy it.

Made me a little mad

Prefer a love story where there is a definite partnership. I had ti watch it the book down and come back to it after feeling like Isla had a crossed a line.

Plot holes

I loved lightlark liked nightbane and hate skyshade. My main problem is the pacing in this book. Long draw out scenes of I love you love you not to chapters where in a span of 30 seconds everything has happened and you have no idea what is going on. The plot holes contradict what has been said in previous books to the point where you wonder if Alex just forgot what she wrote. I am 70% of the way through the book and I am trying to find information online about what I must have missed but everyone else is in agreement that it is poorly written and turned into a money grab. I dont mind that she has changed it from a trilogy to 5 books but I can’t keep trying to justify reasons for things to make sense when they just don’t!
Voice actor is great.
