The Queens of Innis Lear

De: Tessa Gratton

Narrado por: Kate Reading

Dynasties battle for the crown in Tessa Gratton's debut adult epic fantasy audiobook, The Queens of Innis Lear.

Three queens. One crown. All-out war.

Gaela. Ruthless commander.

I am the rightful heir of Innis Lear. No more will I wait in the shadows and watch my mother’s murderer bleed my island dry.

The King’s hold on the crown must end - willingly or at the edge of my sword.

Regan. Master manipulator.

To secure my place on the throne, I must produce an heir. Countless times I have fed the island’s forests my blood. Yet, my ambition is cursed.

No matter what or whom I must destroy, I will wield the magic of Innis Lear.

Elia. Star-blessed priest. My sisters hide in the shadows like serpents, waiting to strike our ailing king. I must protect my father, even if it means marrying a stranger.

We all have to make sacrifices. Love and freedom will be mine.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Amazing. Just amazing." (Robin McKinley)

"[Narrator Kate Reading] narrates in a smoky tone, and readers will appreciate her varied voices for the large cast of characters." (Booklist)

Once you get into it, it’s good.

It’s a little slow at first, but once you get into it, it’s a great book.

Loved it

A wonderfully written story, well developed characters, excellent pacing. Starts a bit slow but well worth it. Highly recommend it.

Hard to start, well worth the effort

I started this book a lot of times. You have to pay attention. Once you do, it's an amazing and gripping adventure. I don't write many reviews, but felt this one was worth it.

Trying to modernize King Lear

Failed disastrously! Ending left me fumbling for an answer. Elia and Ban were the worst characters to try to like. Elia sniveling with no spine. Ban a victim in the worst way possible. They deserved each other,

Slowest story with a fantastic narrator

I went into this book knowing it was going to be long but hoping it was long because it was going to be amazing. unfortunately I wasn't sympathetic to any of the characters thoughts seem to drag on until the last 10%. The narrator was awesome so I don't bereft her for anything

Way too much fluff

Not worth it's length of a retelling of King Lear except sucking dry any of the madness or foolery that helps break things up.

I simply did not enjoy my time with this book. I guess it might be impacted by recently reading a retelling already on this premise but did it much better.

I didn't enjoy the characters and found the injection of magic to be kind of pointless.

If you're familiar with the original story and want a retelling that's actually entertaining and more bite sized I'd highly recommend Fool by Christopher Moore instead.
