The Seelie King

The Kings Series, Book 5

De: Heather Killough-Walden

Narrado por: Antony Ferguson

Thousands of years ago, the sovereigns of the Fae lands issued a decree: The Wishers would die.

Powerful magics were called forth, and in an act never before or since accomplished, both light and dark, both Seelie and Unseelie, gathered together in their courts and combined their powers. The Wishers were annihilated.

However...legends told how the strongest and most fortunate few managed to escape and hide themselves amongst humans in the mortal realm.

But thousands of years passed with no sign of these legendary Wishers. They were declared extinct.

And in its rareness, in its extinctness, the lost, most powerful class of the fae, in fact became sacred.

There are a lot of things Selene Trystaine would change about the world if she could. Injustices press in, apathy reigns, and unkindness seems to have taken hold in the crevices of humanity. So when she learns that she is not who she has always believed herself to be and destiny presents her with her birthright, she must battle with her inner demons, even while the handsome and powerful king of those who'd once attempted to destroy her kind discovers her - and begins an all-out attack of seduction on her senses.

Contains mature themes.

Not really a romance

It is the overall story arc that keeps me reading this series. They are in the romance package but with the exception of the Phantom King and the Goblin King they are not so much a couple falling in love as a couple who are thrown together by fate. But the overall story arc about ancient grudges and supernatural wars keeps me readi
ng. I could have done without Selene's revenge fest, all that really accomplished was insight into the authors political views it was a waste of time. I will continue with the series so I can see how it all plays out. Anthony Ferguson is outstanding and the story is a 3.5.I wish the entire series was on Audible and more than the first 4 were included in the Audible Romance package, but as I said I want to know how it all plays out.

Interesting story

The story is good but too much going on at one time (squeezing too much in one book)
But I like it overall..

pronunciation

this narrator is driving me crazy with improper pronunciation of these names throughout the story! the same can be said of the previous books also.

good book time for the next one thank you

loved this book. now it is time to start the next one. thank you for this book.

awesome

first I want to say I totally loved this paranormal book it is flipping awesome the author did an amazing job with the seelie king story, I was totally intrigued and fascinated with the story one thing that you do have to pay attention to is the dialog of each character there's a lot going on so you listen to the books before you'll totally get the gist of it all. also want to give a shout out to the narrator he did a fantastic job.

LOVING THIS SERIES!!!

This is by far one of the best series I have to date experienced!! Anthony Ferguson is an AMAZING narrator bringing these I WONDERFUL characters to life. . I would give 10 stars across the board if i could!! CANT WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES TO BE AVAILABLE WITH AUDIBLE!!!! 💜💜💜💜

I literally lost interest.

I have to say this series really fell flat for me. even though I am very fond of this particular reader. I went through the first few books somewhat enthusiastic that it was going to go somewhere. However, it appears that the whole theme of superpowered vegetarian heroins has worn itself out for me. I literally did too separate series of romantic books without sex writing when I put this down and came back to it. I will give the unseelie king a chance in hopes that it is darker and less boring than this book but I'm not giving it much help. It's going to get two Chapters and if it doesn't bring me in then I'm not going to bother with it.

Boiler plated story

I have started and stop listening to this book so many times because it is too tedious to listen to. The author spends a chapter talking about a walk in the park. It is like the author just continues to over describes the most mundane stuff and pulls pieces from other chapters. Frustrating to listening to. The other books kinda did the same thing in the other books in this series but the story line were good. I backwant my money

Okay story and pretty terrible narration..

I borrowed the first four books of the King series from my daughter in 2014 and now I’ve finished the Seelie King today. Some of the other characters were in this story but I really didn’t remember them. AND there were a LOT of people in this book, too. I think I understood most of it, but it kept jumping around from one part of the story to the other.

There was the Seelie King trying to protect his queen, that he’s never met, and was almost killed on his way to her. The meeting at The Vampire King’s. And the attack at a house filled with witches, werewolves, Fae, vampires, seers, healers, etc. It was very exciting.

There was a loooong drawn-out sex scene, longer than it needed to be in 229 pages and the F-bomb was used 3 times.

As to the narration: As usual, Antony Ferguson needs some serious help with women’s voices and putting some emotions in his voice when he reads.

Book 5 fail.

So yes I have listened to the all the previous books and have enjoyed them. The fail in this story is the overpowered queen who just makes the plot stupid.
