Resumen del Editor

Once upon a tangled tale of broken hearts and blackened souls comes this dark fairy-tale retelling from the Wall Street Journal and Amazon number one best-selling fantasy romance authors of Zodiac Academy.

A twisted heart, a hollow soul.

A broken warrior, lost gods of old.

A thief of shadows, blessed with light;

A single lie which stole their might.

A princess to win, in a brutal game.

A great empire falling to a monster’s claim.

A forbidden love, a curse untold.

The last immortal trapped in a coin of gold.

Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti have sold millions of books worldwide and have become known as the Twisted Sisters due to their dark and decadent romances full of heart-stopping angst. Step into this world of Fae, gods, and curses unlike any retelling you’ve experienced before.

Chefs kiss

I have read all of the books by the twisted sisters, and this one is by far my favorite. The characters in this are so well developed and so relatable. It was amazing. The way they interacted had me hysterically, laughing one minute and crying the next, I am so excited to read more about all of the characters in this book, I’m already chomping at the bit for the next one. Excellent job ladies if you love a dark fairy tale, this book is a must read.

Can the sisters just gut me already??

I swear these Sisters know how to write any freakin book. Aladdin retelling with morally grey men? Yes pleaseee. As always these narrators KILLED it!

II'M HOOKED!!

This was intricately written (not surprised 😉) and effortlessly executed in performance (also not surprised here 😉)!!

I'm officially left in dyer need for the 2nd book!

Disappointed

Zodiac Academy was amazing so I expected so much better. Unfortunately it never really caught my attention and I found myself tuning it out without even realizing it.

Love the twisted sisters

I definitely enjoyed listening to this newest book by my favorite authors. The ending was crazy and left on major cliff hangers as usual, but I would have liked to see more of those “omg what in the world” moments throughout more of the book. It felt like the book kept a steady pace the entire time and then EXPLODED at the end. More of that throughout would have been nice. Overall loved it though! Awesome characters, and kyra is so cool.

Ah-mazing!

Once again those twisted sisters hit it out of the park. The story is fantastic with many twists and turns you never see coming… and that ending?! Fucking brutal-I had to sit and marinate in my thoughts for a long minute processing it all before I even fully realized it was finished…
It will definitely be a long, agonizing wait for the next part of the story!!! 10,000/10 highly recommend!

Eh… I finished it….

It has more of a dungeons and dragons meets Aladdin vibe… I managed to get through it, but it’s very repetitive… It does end on a cliffhanger, and I’m debating on whether or not it’s even worth listening to the second book when it comes out.

The characters are interesting, especially the “Jinn” in the coin… the narrators are great as those two always are… if it wasn’t for them I doubt I would’ve been able to get through the book.

Thumbs up

Loved the overall story. Can’t wait for book 2 really enjoy the characters have to I prefer a happier Indian, but hopefully book 2 comes out soon

So that is the ending of this book huh? Right there? After that? Is it too early to ask how long we have to wait for book 2? Asking for a friend? No, I will own that question, I am asking for myself!

This is also a fairytale retelling of Aladdin, which was my favorite movie as a kid. So give me what is sure to be an epic story based on it from two of my favorite authors? (Insert the Futurama gif of Fry saying “shut up and take my money”)

This book is so good. I love Austyn, Cassius, Drake & Kyra. This cast is all so different. Austyn, the hidden away princess who is being sold off to the winner of the games. Cassius, the kings guard who has Al sacrificed his freedom to protect the kingdom’s royalties. Drake, the street rat (see what I did there?) who steals to survive. Finally, Kyra, the quirky genie who has spent way too much time alone, but is slowly finding herself again.

I cannot get over these characters & this story. The audiobook of this one is so good! I completely got lost in the story as I listened to it. The narrators did a phenomenal job!

The world building is amazing & I need so many answers. I have a feeling the pain and anguish is only beginning.

loved this!

Didn't disappoint! They need to do more of these types of retellings for sure!
