Publisher's Summary

Dynasties battle for the crown in Tessa Gratton's debut adult epic fantasy audiobook, The Queens of Innis Lear.

Three queens. One crown. All-out war.

Gaela. Ruthless commander.

I am the rightful heir of Innis Lear. No more will I wait in the shadows and watch my mother’s murderer bleed my island dry.

The King’s hold on the crown must end - willingly or at the edge of my sword.

Regan. Master manipulator.

To secure my place on the throne, I must produce an heir. Countless times I have fed the island’s forests my blood. Yet, my ambition is cursed.

No matter what or whom I must destroy, I will wield the magic of Innis Lear.

Elia. Star-blessed priest. My sisters hide in the shadows like serpents, waiting to strike our ailing king. I must protect my father, even if it means marrying a stranger.

We all have to make sacrifices. Love and freedom will be mine.

Over hyped

I really tried to like this but I ended up hating all the characters and was just bored through the first half of this long book. The magic, star lore and “language of trees” was really weak. I couldn’t picture what that was because it wasn’t described at all.

Long but wonderful!

This book is a fantastical retelling of Shakespeare's King Lear!
But it can be long and slow in places. This didn't ruin the book for me, it just resulted in a slower listening experience than with other books.
I would still recommend this book to anyone who is a Shakespearean fan.
