A Bright Heart

De: Kate Chenli

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

Mingshin outsmarted three princes to help the man she loved become king. But she doesn’t see Ren’s betrayal coming, not until she’s lying in a pool of her own blood on the palace steps. As she’s dying, Mingshin makes a desperate plea to the gods to turn back time and give her a chance to make things right.

Mingshin wakes up two years earlier, her prayer granted, and swears two things: Ren will never become king, and she will never fall in love again. But the timeline in this life has changed: a dignitary gifted with dark magic is threatening her kingdom’s peace, and Ren’s thirst for power runs deeper than Mingshin could have imagined.

She finds herself allying with Jieh, another contender for the throne. Mingshin knows better than anyone not to give her heart to a prince. But in the viper’s nest of the royal court, she and Jieh prove a phenomenal team. Can Mingshin avert the catastrophe of her past by once again learning to trust…and maybe even love?

Master storyteller Kate Chenli introduces a singular YA heroine in this vividly rendered and utterly original new fantasy series.

The passion

It was different the protagonist had a side to her you don’t see very often a passion. The story is very descriptive and owes you in.

Rebirth plot

I love the rebirth plot, Mingshin having a second chance to redo the past two years of her life and to live it differently. The only problem I have is Mingshin appears too calm towards those who harmed her and her family in her first life which made it unrealistic for me. But if you overlook that flaw I still enjoyed the story.

Loving it

Only on chapter 20 and it’s sooo good so far, can’t put it down!! Definitely highly recommend this book.

Fresh, and full of intricate politics

I’m in love with this book! So well-written, the main character is full of passion and ambition, the politics - delicious YA 🫶🏻can’t wait for the second book
