King of Scars

King of Scars Duology, Book 1

De: Leigh Bardugo

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

Face your demons...or feed them.

Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war - and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.

Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried - and some wounds aren’t meant to heal.

Enter the Grishaverse with this new novel from number-one New York Times best-selling author Leigh Bardugo.

"Deadly clever political intrigue, heart-stopping adventure, memorable characters, and several understated, hinted-at romances (how will we wait?!) come together in one glorious, Slavic-folklore infused package. Bardugo's star continues to rise." (Booklist, starred review)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Whether listeners are coming to this universe of demons and saints for the first time or the sixth, [narraotr Lauren] Fortgang is the perfect guide through a fictional countryside full of hard-to-pronounce places in the snowy north of some alternate version of Eastern Europe. The accents range from Russian to Czech to American. Fortgang's linguistic gifts trick listeners into thinking this book has multiple narrators. As the characters unearth their inner darkness and inner light, Fortgang's narration drips with both sorrow and love. The breathtaking ending begs those who are new to the universe to start at the beginning and those who have returned to start again." (AudioFile Magazine)

great adventure

i loved this book. Great read for fantasy lovers young adults, adults Audio version was good.

Captivating

Loved it! Phenomenal continuation of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse genius. Can't wait for the next book.

Wow!

After consuming stories like Queen of the Tearling and Serpent and Dove, I had middling expectations for King of Scars. But WOW. Even GRRM would be inspired by Bardugo’s characters and the way you instantly cheer for them. I could barely stop listening- Lauren Fortgang reads beautifully

The things that fairy tales are made of

Anxiously looking forward to the sequel of this great book! A king with a curse that is not the dragon.

Amazing

I adore Nikolai and love the way that Zoya also crept into my heart. Bardugo just has such a way with her characters. This book was amazing and the ending was such a shock. I cannot wait for the next book to come out so that I can see where this whole story is going.
