The Queen of All That Lives

The Fallen World, Book 3

De: Laura Thalassa

Narrado por: Laurel Schroeder

She’s a martyr. A myth. A ghost. A legend.

She’s my soulmate and my captive, my conscience and my wrath. I love her too much to let her die; I fear her too much to wake her from her slumber.

She’s mine. And now she’s gone.

He’s unnatural. Undying. Unethical. Unstoppable. He’s the keeper of lies and lost souls. Mine slipped through his clutches.

I am his wife, his queen, the love of his very long life.

And soon, I will be his executioner.

Omg this story. I could not store listening.

The story line, the plot twists, the love triangle. I love this whole series. I couldn't stop listen. I became emotionally involved in the description and rooting for them. I have already started recommending this to friends and family.

Fantastic End Filled With Suspense

I loved this series so much. It was gory, visceral, painful, tragic, and yet filled with so much hope and perseverance. Love can be a poison, but compassionate, persistent love can be the antidote.

I have to admit, right up until the very end I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out. Serenity could kill the King, and it would completely legit if she did, and I’d have been sad, but totally ok with it. But, it was equally possible that she, being the smart cookie she is, might find a way to keep him alive AND save the world.

I love the slight of hand of getting only snippets and pieces of each of the characters plans so, as the reader, you can never be 100% certain of what the outcome will be, because the two options seem equally likely.

Again, I didn’t love the narration on this one. However I think it’s a personal preference more than poor narration. Her speech cadence is just kinda off to me. She certainly does a good job of voicing the characters and telling the story. And I’ll listen to it again for sure.

So, so good.

The first two were better

I preferred the first two books better. There were so many twists and turns and surprises and un fathomable things going on. Just a smidge too much this Could have been split into two books at least. But still I really am enjoying Laura Thalassa’s work.

Book 3

Listened to all of these books, hoping the underlying story would get better. It didn't. The psychological abuse and manipulation the king delves out churns my stomach. But the fact the heroine KNOWS he's doing it and goes along with it, just makes it worse. I wish I could get my money back for all of these books.

Original

5 Stars for the trilogy. Epic and original. Loved Serenity as kick-ass heroine. I want more off this.
