The Forever War

The Queen Trials, Book 4

By: Penelope Wright

Narrated by: Penelope M. Wright

All Princess Clio has wanted since she joined the Queen Trials was to find a way out of the competition before the killing round began. But when King Ergondy grants her wish, Clio learns more about the Forever War than she bargained for.

With this new knowledge that she shouldn't have, can she live with herself if she leaves The Trials?

Either way, the Rotunda wants her dead.

I don’t want it to end

I know Cleo wants this war to end, but I do it know that I do, because I am afraid that means the series will end… I’m so hooked! Love it.

Super enjoyable!

I have loved this entire series, and I am excited for the Kingdom of Lies to come out. I thought this was the last book, but I am so glad I was wrong! The world building and characters here make me hope there are many more to come.

All 8 Books Consistently Excellent

I listened to all eight books in this series, and what really stands out—aside from the consistent quality—is the tone. While the world is dark and the stakes are high, the main character never turns cold or detached like you often see in this genre. Think Hunger Games, but with a heroine who stays thoughtfully kind, even when it would be easier not to be. She’s committed to helping others, not just surviving, which gives the story a sense of purpose and warmth you don’t usually get in dystopian fiction.

The plot stays tightly focused across all eight books, with no time jumps or meandering. Each book picks up right where the last leaves off, and the story stays centered on real stakes, expanding the world building, and momentum. If you liked Book One, you can trust the rest to deliver.

Entrancing story, TERRIBLE RECORDING!

I am entranced by the storyline. However the clicks of the lounge, smacks of saliva, and mispronounciation of words has made me unable to read the rest of the series!
