The Queen's Bastard

Inheritors' Cycle, Book 1

De: C. E. Murphy

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

In a world where religion has ripped apart the old order, Belinda Primrose is the queen's secret weapon. The unacknowledged daughter of Lorraine, the first queen to sit on the Aulunian throne, Belinda has been trained as a spy since the age of twelve by her father, Lorraine's lover and spymaster.

Cunning and alluring, fluent in languages and able to take on any persona, Belinda can infiltrate the glittering courts of Echon, where her mother's enemies conspire. She can seduce at will and kill if she must. But Belinda's spying takes a new twist when her witchlight appears.

Now Belinda's powers are unlike anything Lorraine could have imagined. They can turn an obedient daughter into a rival who understands that anything can be hers, including the wickedly sensual Javier, whose throne Lorraine both covets and fears. But Javier is also witchbreed, a man whose ability rivals Belinda's own... and who can be just as dangerous.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Readers will be eagerly awaiting their story's next installment in the Inheritors' Cycle." (Booklist)

One of my new favorite authors

I read her whole Joanne Walker series and it was great. I saw this book and decided to try it and lemme tell ya, it was worth the time. I’m one to book 2 of this set and great looking forward to what will happen and as many C.E. Murphy books as I can get my hands on after it. My inched up to sit 3rd in my list of favorite authors just behind Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong 💕📚

good story but...

great story but It seemed a bit like the writer couldn't figure out what direction to take it.

Not the best narrator

The narrator voice inflection was very hard to follow.
Book was ok not something that I was expecting. Had a hard time finishing the book, found myself zoning out instead of listening .

I’m not sure...

Who is the main character supposed to be? She seemed not to even know. There’s no steady background about her “character”. You can’t even like her or feel sorry for whatever may happen to her. Weird. And I too also zoned out a lot.

Should have been better

This book couldn't hold my attention? I don't know if it was the narration, but it never really got traction? I finally gave up on it. I liked the plot, but sadly I couldn't find it?

summary misleading

i thought this would be a romance adventure. Instead, it is 50 shades of grey with no romance.
