Publisher's Summary

Kingdoms collide in Sarah J. Maas' epic fifth installment in the New York Times best-selling Throne of Glass series.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those don't.

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.

Aelin's journey from assassin to queen has entranced millions across the globe, and this fifth installment will leave fans breathless. Will Aelin succeed in keeping her world from splintering, or will it all come crashing down?

Awesome Narration

I read physical copies from book 1-5, switching to the audiobook version was amazing!
The narrator is excellent and does the series justice!
A great fantasy series!

Excellent

Although I still love the early books and Aelin's Assassin adventures this one may be my favourite book in the series so far. A thrill ride from start to finish as the merry band make there way across the continents all leading up to that dramatic finish! Excellent

“Aelin met Rowan’s stare and said clearly and baldly and without a speckle of doubt, ”
“I love you. I am in love with you, Rowan. I have been for a while. And I know there are limits to what you can give me, and I know you might need time—”
“His lips crushed into hers, and he said onto her mouth, dropping words more precious than rubies and emeralds and sapphires into her heart, her soul, “I love you. There is no limit to what I can give to you, no time I need. Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will love you.”
“You are mine,” Rowan breathed, and she felt the claiming in her bones, her soul.
“I am yours,” she answered.
“And you love me.” Such hope and quiet joy in his eyes, beneath all that fierceness.
“To whatever end.” For too long—for too long had he been alone and wandering. No longer.”

Ahhhhhhhhh! This was one of my Favourites hands down!!!!!!

hard time not crying

I listened to this at work when I listened to this and man did I ever have a hard time not crying or at least doing it silently.

These books are so well written and damn of these characters aren't amazing.

J'aime la narration seulement ce serait bien qu'il y ait plusieurs narrateurs différents pour les voix.
