King of Fools

The Shadow Game Series, Book 2

De: Amanda Foody

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

Indulge your vices in the City of Sin, where a sinister street war is brewing and fame is the deadliest killer of them all....

On the quest to find her missing mother, prim and proper Enne Salta became reluctant allies with Levi Glaisyer, the city's most famous con man. Saving his life in the Shadow Game forced Enne to assume the identity of Seance, a mysterious underworld figure. Now, with the chancellor of the republic dead and bounties on both their heads, she and Levi must play a dangerous game of crime and politics...with the very fate of New Reynes at stake.

Thirsting for his freedom and the chance to build an empire, Levi enters an unlikely partnership with the estranged son of Mafia donna Vianca Augustine. Meanwhile, Enne remains trapped by Vianca's binding oath, playing the roles of both darling lady and cunning street lord, unsure which side of herself reflects the truth.

As Enne and Levi walk a path of unimaginable wealth and opportunity, new relationships and deadly secrets could quickly lead them into ruin. And when unforeseen players enter the game, they must each make an impossible choice: to sacrifice everything they've earned in order to survive...or die as legends.

These books make me want to never trust again

In a world where everyone is a criminal who is the good guy? The north side is bad, where all the criminals are, but the worst people are the the "respectable" people of the south side.

I loved being in this world - where people can inherit only limited magical skills from their parents - some of which are very ordinary like dancing and some of them are important - like being able to make a kind of money they call volts.

Occasionally I felt that the characters didn't make rational, believable decisions - like - come on - who would become friends with someone that tried to kill you two days ago. But no one has ever tried to kill me so maybe I don't know. After all I don't live on the north side. Or do I?

So many feels

A great roller-coaster story. I was really surprised by the ending and left in my feelings

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I love this book so much, the story is so wonderful! Highly recommend to read!

Cruel Reality

I really loved Ace of Spades

in this one the author successfully made me depaie Levi ramblings and double standard

can not wait to see what Enn does now that she can flaunt her Talent

Excellent

I started this series not knowing it was a series. It now has me rapt and completely engrossed. The wiring is great and the narrator is phenomenal. I can see everything so vividly between the descriptions and the narrator's telling. I'm excited for the last book.
