Vilest Things

De: Chloe Gong

Narrado por: Jeena Yi

Chloe Gong returns with power plays, spilled blood, and lethal romance in this “dark, dazzling, deliciously depraved” (Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author) fantasy sequel to New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Immortal Longings, inspired by Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra.

Calla Tuoleimi has succeeded in the impossible. Despite the odds, she has won San-Er’s bloody games and eliminated King Kasa, her tyrant uncle and the former ruler of Talin. She now serves as royal advisor to Kasa’s adopted son, August Shenzhi, who has risen to the throne.

Only Calla knows it isn’t really August.

Anton Makusa is still furious about Calla’s betrayal in the final round of the games. In an impossible feat, he took over August’s body to survive and has no intention of giving up this newfound power. But when his first love, the beautiful, explosive Otta Avia, awakens from a yearslong coma and reveals a secret that threatens the monarchy’s authority over Talin, chaos erupts. As tensions come to a boiling point, Calla and Anton must set their conflicts aside and head to the kingdom’s far reaches to prevent anarchy…even if their empire might be better off burning.

As old loves clash with new alliances and the line between loyalty and ambition blurs, Calla and Anton are forced to face the ultimate question: how far will they go to claim power, and what will they sacrifice in the name of survival and love?

Loved the book!

I loved this book. The only thing that I didn’t like was the continuity of the person reading the story. There were several cases where the volume changes and the tone changed in the same chapter that made it obvious where recording started and stopped in different sessions.
