The Rivaled Crown

The Veiled Kingdom Series, Book 3

De: Holly Renee

Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Aubrey Vincent

I swore I would never return to this palace. Never kneel before my father again.

But I have been dragged back into his gilded cage, trapped beneath his rule, and bound to a fate I had tried to escape.

My body is his to break, my magic his to wield. And no matter how many nights I dream of Dacre storming these halls, of his hands, pulling me from the darkness—dreams are nothing against the greed of a king.

Even if my mate comes for me, even if I am freed from my father's grip, I'm not sure there will be anything left of me to save.

The kingdom is dying. The land withers beneath the weight of stolen magic, and my father's reign will not end without bloodshed.

But I have lived in the dark for too long.

And I was not made to wither, I was made to burn.

Narrated in duet style.

Could have been shorter

Overall the book was ok. I really felt like the story was drawn out a bit, the FMC was very whiny, and the action really didn’t pick up until we almost got to the end of the book.

Oh Daddy Dacre

Really a 3.5/5.
I enjoyed the series as a whole, but this one wasn't my favorite. One thing that never changed was Daddy Dacre's filthy mouth!

It did its job for me to conclude the series and I will def recommend it!

So deliciously good!

Holly Renee does it again! This was the best completed series. She is such an amazing writer. Everything she touches turns to gold.

It's fine

The performance was great. I loved the voice characters. I did remember why I put down the first two after I picked up the third. The storyline is good but I definitely skipped a lot of the inner dialog. So many repeated phrases as well. Over all not a literary masterpiece but it was good enough for me to finish

The storyline, mixed with the characters voices

Even though just a duo read, they did an amazing job with the storyline. Would 10/10 read again
