Court of Wanderers

De: Rin Chupeco

Narrado por: Matthew Spencer

Remy Pendergast and his royal vampire companions face an enemy that is terrifyingly close to home in book two of Rin Chupeco’s queer, bloody Gothic epic fantasy series for fans of Samantha Shannon’s The Priory of the Orange Tree and the adult animated series Castlevania.

Remy Pendergast, vampire hunter, and his unexpected companions, royal vampires Lord Zidan Malekh and Lady Xiaodan Song, are on the road through the kingdom of Aluria again after a hard-won first battle against the formidable Night Empress, who threatens to undo a fragile peace between humans and vampires. Xiaodan is severely injured and has lost her powers to vanquish the enemy’s new superbreed of vampire, but if the trio can make it to Fata Morgana, the seat of Malehk’s court—dubbed “the Court of Wanderers”—there is hope of nursing her back to health and restoring them.

Enroute to the Third Court, Remy crosses paths with his father, the arrogant, oftentimes cruel Lord of Valenbonne. He also begins to suffer strange dreams of the Night Empress, whom he has long suspected to be Ligaya Pendergast, his own mother. As his family history unfolds during these episodes, which are too realistic to be coincidence, he realizes that she is no ordinary vampire—and that he may end up having to choose between the respective legacies of his parents.

Posing as Malek and Xiaodan’s human familiar, Remy contends with Aluria’s intimidating vampire courts and a series of gruesome murders with their help—and more, as the three navigate their relationship. But those feelings and even their extraordinary collective strength will be put to the test as each of them unleashes new powers in combat at what may be the ultimate cost.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Spencer is a superb storyteller. He keeps the plot moving. His skill at distinguishing characters is a solid plus for listeners as the political intrigue becomes more and more complicated and Remy unravels his family’s secrets. Spencer also maintains the intensity of the combat scenes and murder."

A wonderful but slower 2nd book

I wished for a little more action and a tweak for more descriptions of bed scenes because they could be so delicious. This book forcused more on Mal and Remi but it just always seemed uncomfortable with the 2 men being sexual. Ths descriptions of Xiodan were always so loving but it both books described Mal with such lack luster passion or like an after thought.

I absolutely did not believe Duke Valenbornes change in character though I did believe his "completion".

Other than that I found myself satisfied. Those 3 points I have did not kill my enjoyment of the second book. Honestly it gave it more of a believable variance which is why I give it a STRONG 4. Very close to exactly what I want in a book just feels like it needs one more little push.

I am assuming there will be a book 3. Mainly so I can get a cover with Xiodan on the front.

Yay

I loved this as much as the first finished it in a day I love all three of them

LOVE

Honestly idc about what anyone says I LOVE them. All 3 of them, forever

I hope there another

I just love the character development so much it’s refreshing and a beautiful sight honestly miau need to order the books

Incredible

So sad that this is the last book, so happy with how this book turned out. It’s everything I wanted and more! ***spoilers now*** kinda sad we didn’t get to see Remy get badass vampire wings but I get why not. Also, confused about Malekh seemingly gaining no extra power from the flames, but he was already kinda OP to begin with so it’s not really necessary**end spoilers**

Adore these characters

Silver Under Nightfall blew my mind in the best way, and while Court of Wanderers is quieter and gentler, I was so very happy to see some of my all time favorite characters find so much happiness. I often don’t have the stomach for all the pain and suffering that shows up in the second book of a fantasy trilogy or duology, and I suspect it takes a skilled writer to NOT use additional trauma to advance a plot. Love our sweet little Remy and so delighted to leave him so happy and well taken care of. (Note: the narration is GORGEOUS)

5/5! Must read

An absolute must read. I found myself making excuses to drive around just so I could listed to this series.

So good

I love it I love it loveeee ittttt haha gosh it’s so good !! The chemistry between these three and the dramatic thrill of it all is just *chef’s kiss*

Kinda dragged along

I felt like Remi became the damsel in distress and Zidan the dominating man who bosses everyone around. I got through the book, but all the action happens in the last quarter of the book. The rest is just fluff.
