Crown of Blood and Ruin

The Broken Kingdoms, Book 3

De: LJ Andrews

Narrado por: Stina Nielsen, Tim Campbell

War begins. But secrets have the power to end...everything.

Fallen princess. Traitor. Queen.

Forsaking her people and her birthright, Elise Lysander takes her place at the side of the new fae king of a broken land. Revered by some, hated by many, Elise’s fight for her love and freedom is only beginning.

As secrets of Castle Ravenspire come to light, Elise and Valen discover their enemies hold more power than they ever imagined.

It will take more than blades to defeat them: fulfilling a dangerous request from Valen’s imprisoned brother, destroying a prophecy of fate kept in the hands of Elise's brutal sister, and an unwilling alliance with a shadowed thief from a neighboring kingdom that might end in victory or more death.

Blood is calling. War will answer.

But for Elise and Valen this fight could be their hard-fought salvation…or a vicious end to everything they love.

Filled with luscious world building, banter-filled romance, and epic battles, this final book in the Northern Kingdom is part Viking, part fairytale. It is intended for mature listeners.

loved it

I love the characters and the story line , I feel like there could have been one more book to add more details I feel the ending was rushed but I know there are more books and I'm hoping those help with adding more I am not done with Elise and valens story but the next books take on a new journey I just hope they swivel back around or intertwine. Not a waste very enjoyable especially if you like Sara j maass or Jennifer L Armentrout books .

What to say but clever

I’ve greatly enjoyed these books! When I heard that the next would be about another storyline I was disappointed, but after finishing this book I’m already invested in the Nightrenders story. Engaging and very fast paced.

I’m sad it’s over!

I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters! I love Elise and Valen and their little found family so much! I love that the author didn’t make Elise this ultra powerful fighting prodigy but it didn’t diminish her strength and bravery. I kept waiting for that predictable moment where we discover she’s night folk or has some sort of powers she wasn’t aware of and I’m so grateful that it didn’t happen. I didn’t see the twist at the end in the tomb so that was a fun surprise!
Stina was great as usual with a few pronunciation issues and some overly dramatic acting but overall she does a great job at keeping me in the author’s world and Tim Campbell was just perfect. I did feel like the parts of the night render were kind of random and felt forced in at the very end but then I realized he’s the subject of the next books and it made sense that the author chose to do that although I still believe he doesn’t quite fit this story. Also I hated his accent but that was definitely a personal preference. Overall, it was well done and wrapped up nicely and I wish it didn’t have to end! This was the perfect series to get me out of my slump!

Great story

It’s amazing how well the author can keep the storyline going. The story is very good and continues to grow.

Love it

On my way to book 4
Hope that they all meet up in the stories

buena saga

hasta ahora me va gustando. en ocasiones si me dieron ganas de dejarlo, pero valio la pena terminar este.

Very engaging

You can’t quite predict all the turns which keeps the book not predictable. I like the characters and how each have a story of their own.

excellent storyline! all the goods. dynamic duo Narrators!

Love the performance of Stina & Tim.
I binged the first 3 books in basically 4 days haha got lots of projects done around the house.
Love the characters! invested in all the inner circle, their relationships etc. the twists and secrets! the humor and banter amongst friends and lovers. beautiful world. love this series!

Way to end Arc 1 and hype us up for Arc 2

LOVED this ending to this arc, a good blend of victory/loss while also introducing us to characters we'll see in the next book. Felt like so much happened and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time rooting for Elise and Valen. Laughed my ass off at the end

Great plot twist

Story moved quickly, and was glad to see more character development. we'll placed spice... but could have been more pasionate.
