Publisher's summary

Charlie knows how to be a princess. Now she must learn to be a queen.

She sacrificed her heart in exchange for the fragile peace of her kingdom, but in the wake of their beloved king’s assassination, peace is hard to come by. Threats and conspiracies emerge with every turn, and all the while her wedding looms closer.

Between funerals and hangings, coronations and balls, Charlie must find the strength to prove to her people - and to herself - that she can be the queen they need, even though it requires breaking her heart in two.

Her allies are few and unexpected, and enemies await in the most familiar of places. Will Charlie live long enough to see her wedding day? Or will the perils of her choices finally catch up to her?

Perfect Continuation of an Amazing Series!

I think this book might just be my favorite in the series. I absolutely loved the continuation of Charlie’s story and seeing her grow, as well as some of the other characters.

It’s hard to talk about the third book in a series without spoiling things from the first two, but this book was fantastic! The tension builds as the fragile peace is rocked between the two kingdoms. Charlie and Oliver are trying to figure out how to move on from everything that has happened. Neither want to get married, but they know they need to in order to protect their people. Except, a secret is uncovered that could potentially set them both free.

Charlie and Logan continue growing closer, and I love them with my whole heart. There is a scene where he takes her to a tree in his mother’s village that is absolute perfection. I think I’ve read that part like five times now because it just makes me so happy inside that I keep going back to it.

The thieves make a return as well, and you know how much I love my secretly good bad guys. Fia is such a great character. I have so many questions about her and want more!

Overall, the book is wonderfully written. It is engaging and intense, but it still has those sweet and swoony moments. The character development is excellent, as is the world building. These authors have done an incredible job at creating this vivid world full of intricate histories, politics, secrets, and betrayal.

I’m writing this review late, as I’ve already read the fourth book, but know that this one does have a cliffhanger that will make you need to keep reading until you’ve devoured the entire series. Robin and Elle continue to amaze me. I will read literally anything they write at this point.

And the narrator? So perfect for this story! She brings the characters to life so well.

Favorite so far

This has been my favorite of the series so far, and now I’m itching for book four! I loved all the sweet moments, and also really felt the harder moments in this one. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

At this point you need to keep reading!😁

Book 2 is where Charlie could no longer look at her world the way she had but saw it with all it's scars. This book is where she starts to take things into her own hands and make a difference. And just when we think we know what's going on Robin and Elle give us another twist and cliffhanger for the ending. The narrator has done a great job. It was fun and easy to listen to.

Olivia King is Perfection!

This is not new to the series, Olivia King's performance has been perfection from book 1. But I have failed in my previous reviews to give recognition her superior narration. I will be seeking out books narrated by Olivia King in the future!

whaaaaaaat!!!!

first off let me say cliffhanger and I did not see that coming..

the story picks up right where it left off (if you read the second you know what happened).
Charlie is still at odds with her feelings for Logan. Not that she doesn't love him, even tho she's finally admitted it, but that she knows she can never have him, not and bring peace to the realm. So another adventure begins where Charlie's life is put on the line numerous times. She's agreed to go on the lamb with Logan on the advice from Ollie. At the time.it makes sense. them certain things happen and the ending -- why did he make that choice? what is his end game? Why do they want her dead? Why not Ollie? what is the secret going on? Who is the real Cillian here?

so many questions!! some of them get answered and some of them don't. I'm continuing on to the next book bc this is one of the best series I've read this year. between the fantastic job of the narrator and the story itself. It's magical to say the least...and besides I'm thinking there's more to the story anyway!!!

Unstoppable

I just couldn’t stop listening to this book. It picks up just after the ending of Spring’s Rising and it is just as amazing. Once again we have action, sweet moments and surprises. I’m loving this series and I can’t wait to know how the story ends.

Olivia King is an amazing narrator and Robin D.Mahle and Elle Madison are too.

I received a free audio copy from the authors for an honest review.

Even better than the previous books!

I love this series. It keeps getting better with each book. It is hard to put this book down once You start listening to it. This is definitely my favorite book in this series so far. The author pretty much pulled the rug from under us at the end, so a bit of a cliffhanger, but I’m hopeful she will sort everything out on the next book!

Narration was great and brought the story to life.

I can’t wait to see what will happen next for Charlie.

Better and better

This story just gets better and better. I was sad when this book came to the end because now I just want to know what is next for Charlie. I want to know what the plan is. I am on the edge of my set with what will happen next. And curious to why the king seems to be so different out of nowhere.

Summer heat

As the rebellion continues to stir in the kingdoms, this story continues to get better! I love the characters in this series and the way their stories are going. Charlie seems to always be in hot water, in more way than one. I’m excited to see how this plays out but don’t want the story to end!

I love learning more about Charlie

Once again, I loved this book. the narration is so well done and the story is just phenomenal.
