this book has me stressing out at work 😭

this book was amazing. struggled to like duncan mainly because I'm a big fan of erix. need this man back fast! can't wait to start the next book tomorrow
9.5 out of 10

What a ride

Ahhh I need the next one. Book two is a lot heavier than book one, but I found myself unable to stop listening. As usual, the narrator is genius.

The second love interest 👀

When I heard that in the authors tic tok I was so exited, I loved Eriks but honestly love Duncan more, and I’m so exited to see what keeps coming.

I’m not one to write reviews but I’m doing it for these books!

Rollercoaster of Emotions!

This book was heavier than the first. No one is safe it seems. That said, I loved it!! I can't wait to read the next book!

I Enjoyed it

I enjoy the stories I wish you had a better narrator(s) I mean no offense. I just guy voice didn't sound like a older British dad (not seggy)

Amazing!

I love these series so much. Cannot wait for book three to find out what they do next with the dire situation. The characters are created so in depth and dynamically I got lost in the book.

Gripping

Such a well done sequel. The emotions Robin goes through absolutely take hold and drag you along for the ride.

emotional rough ride

The story held me captive, even when I wanted to look away. The author doesn't hesitate to have bad things happens to established characters. The events were important to progress the storyline, but somewhat gut wrenching. This 2nd book was just as good as the first, but definitely an emotional rough ride. Can't wait to listen to the final book and she how it's all resolved.

A Kingdom of Lies

A Kingdom of Lies seeks to deepen Robin Icethorn’s arc as he claws for a kingdom built from ash and betrayal, but the plot demands patience as it lays political traps through long setups. Alderson’s atmosphere engaging but the emotional depth meandered in several key revelations. Leaning heavily inward beats diffuses momentum at times and leaves some characters feeling sidelined. It’s a solid, promise-filled sequel for readers invested in slow-burn political fantasy and Robin’s brutal trajectory.
