De: Reia

Narrado por: Shannon Tyo

Vengeance Over Virtue

A woman reborn, Crown Princess Luxeria is derided as a doll, beautiful and docile. But that's merely the mask she wears. Powerful magic courses through her veins--magic that can corrupt hearts, erase memories, and pluck one's innermost thoughts from the air. After years of being confined to a tower, she is finally set free...only to become embroiled in a grand conspiracy that kicks off with her parents' murder. Thrust onto a tragic stage of love and betrayal, she will play her part to perfection.

A Solid Story

The bones of this story are really good. It was actually much more intelligent and thoughtful than I had thought it would be. It did, however, fall short in a few areas. Firstly, I wasn't sold on the love aspect of the story. There also were not very convincing examples of her "Doll Princess" persona, although I admit that after she dropped that persona, you could certainly tell the difference. Lastly, there was a time skip leading to her coronation but somehow this also got combined with a marriage out of nowhere that was certainly not wanted by the princess, but the book didn't seem to address why it was even happening in the first place. It makes sense in the context of her Doll Princess persona, sort of, but it was still not well explained to me. Given that this was a major aspect of the story, it could have been handled better. With all that said, this was still a good listen and a solid story otherwise, so I hope it gains the popularity it deserves here on Audible.

Revenge!

The plot is actually good. The payback is satisfying. But for the title to be Evil Queen isn’t really fitting. Getting the second book because that’s how good it is.

This was great

The narrator of this book performed very well. this book has a lot of details in it. The main character does not just wave his hand and stuff happens King’s ministers and Noble’s are not all parody of themselves. it actually has depth which makes this book amazing to my eyes 1010. Will read the next book.
