Arcana Rising

The Arcana Chronicles, Book 4

De: Kresley Cole

Narrado por: Emma Galvin

Losses mount and deadly new threats converge in this next action-packed tale of the Arcana Chronicles by #1 New York Times best seller Kresley Cole.

When the battle is done....

The Emperor unleashed hell and annihilated an army, jeopardizing the future of mankind - but Circe struck back. The epic clash between them devastates the Arcana world and nearly kills Evie, separating her from her allies.

And all hope is lost....

With Aric missing and no sign that Jack and Selena escaped Richter's reach, Evie turns more and more to the darkness lurking inside her. Two Arcana emerge as game changers: one who could be her salvation, the other her worst nightmare.

Vengeance becomes everything.

To take on Richter, Evie must reunite with Death and mend their broken bond. But as she learns more about her role in the future - and her chilling past - will she become a monster like the Emperor? Or can Evie and her allies rise up from Richter's ashes, stronger than ever before?

Such an amazing story line!

This is series is so well done, the storylines, heart break, love, and the will to fight for a better future. This is put under category for young adults, well I'm 52 and I will tell you this is as good and any adult novel. Having a story being told in which the Taro is real and all the cards are people that have to fight each other to the death to win the game is just ingenious on Cole's part. The minor and major details that she does on characters is amazing. There is no way to predict how this story will unfold, and she never misses the mark on her cliff hangers! Will be sad when this series ends.

Must Read!

This series is amazing! Always anxious for the next book. Complex characters. Complex relationships and histories. Well performed. A definite read and reread!

Love triangle supremacy

Its to the point where i just want them to be a throuple tbh i love them both . But the narration is good and im enjoying the story excited to listen to next book

Arcana Rising

great story keeps you on the edge of your seat! can't wait for the next one

I love kresley cole!

i loved the story but wish the character's voice more distinct. too similar and confusing.

Good however

It was really great, however I wish there was more to it. The other books had more substance. This one felt like it was leading up to a big event but stopped before the big event happened. I don't like that. Why would you have an entire book as a lead in. If the next book takes forever to come out I may not even bother.

EXCITING

Any additional comments?

This forth book is wonderul, very exciting... Here the most importante is have a strategy, and doesn't imderestimate other players... everyone has a goal... and a aliance.
The only problem for me is Evie... she is a annoying...

I love this series!

I’ve loved this series since Poison Princess! The only drawback for me is the narrator. She is very talented but her voice sounds very young. Childlike. It can be distracting from the story but that’s just my opinion.

The plot thickens

The Plot Thickens! The 4th book in the series finds Evie dealing with so much grief and loss that she has compressed her own emotions to deal with it. (Minor spoiler here). I think in away Death is her bandage to deal with that pain and sex is her crutch. There is so much going on, and Evie isn’t sure who to trust. Are her allies, really allies? or will they turn on her? Down is up and up is down. I don’t think anything is as it appears. There are too many gaps in Evie’s memory, and she doesn’t know why.

The ending is a doozy that left me reeling. I did not see that coming. I have read other reviews, and people think they know where Kresley is taking this story and world. Personally, I’ve read her IMD series, and she is never predictable, so I say hang on for a wild ride because Kresley is just getting things started.

As for the Team Jack or Team Death, I am still going to stick with my original stand I am for Team Evie. It’s the end of the world, why does a modern woman need to choose one man? With that thought, I am giving Arcana Rising 5 Boundless stars, bring on the next battle.

Whew! That ending! Next book, please, stat!

This is book 4, so I won't share any specifics that would be spoilery. This is my first time listening on audiobook, and I really enjoyed the performance. When book 5 comes out, I imagine I'll choose audio for it, as well.
