Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents A Heart so Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Melissa Bayern, Matt Reeves, Kate Handford and Davis Brooks.

In the sequel to New York Times best-selling A Curse so Dark and Lonely, Brigid Kemmerer returns to the world of Emberfall in a lush fantasy where friends become foes and love blooms in the darkest of places.

Find the heir, win the crown.

The curse is finally broken, but Prince Rhen of Emberfall faces darker troubles still. Rumors circulate that he is not the true heir and that forbidden magic has been unleashed in Emberfall. Although Rhen has Harper by his side, his guardsman Grey is missing, leaving more questions than answers.

Win the crown, save the kingdom.

Grey may be the heir, but he doesn't want anyone to know his secret. On the run since he destroyed Lilith, he has no desire to challenge Rhen - until Karis Luran once again threatens to take Emberfall by force. Her own daughter Lia Mara sees the flaws in her mother's violent plan, but can she convince Grey to stand against Rhen, even for the good of Emberfall?

The heart-pounding, compulsively listenable saga continues as loyalties are tested and new love blooms in a kingdom on the brink of war.

Grey

I really enjoyed seeing things in a new light in Grey's eyes. The struggles he went through and the new found magic. He finds love which is well deserved.

Meh...

I was so excited for this book to come out but I gatta say, I was let down. This book is no where near the book that A Curse so Dark and Lonely is. I will stick with this series to the end because I am invested already. Book 3 better be ah-mazing!

What in the actual hell did I just read?! First of all this book went in a completely different direction then I was expecting it too and it left me very frustrated... and the ending redeemed it and gave me what I wanted...and left with more questions.. such a plot twist!

the performance I thought was just as good as the first... however there were times that the person who voiced li maras chapters irked me

Better than the first book

This was good enough to finished but not compelling enough to read the third. Trying a new series first. Overall, the story was decent and the characters were likable. Good for someone just getting into fantasy. No spice.

I liked this one better than the first!

Really got to know some old characters more and meet some amazing new ones! Voice actors were great! However, I would love for future books to always use the same voice anytime that character speaks. Instead of having the one voice actor speak for all the characters during their chapter.

Great second book

This story was a great continuation from the first book. Grey is my favorite character, so I liked that the starry centered around him. The male narrator for Grey was superb. I didn’t love the female narrator.

Narration Killed the story

I could not get past the female narration. I hoped I could get used to it but it only seemed to get worse. Loved the first book and performance.
