War Hour

The Broken Trials, Book 1

By: Lauren Loscig

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart

When powers are earned and not born, who shall wield them?

Lysta lives in constant fear of Trialing, a deadly test that bestows an ability upon its victors, but only after pushing their mental and physical limits. Forced to Trial against her will, Lysta becomes a weapon others plan to use against the Untrialed until an unexpected intruder from another Court presents her with an opportunity to stop it. But can she trust the plans of a man who seems to play the lines between enemy and ally?

Only through treason can Lysta save the people she once struggled beside. With the fate of her Court and the lives of the Untrialed at stake, the burden will fall on Lysta to convince the other Courts to intervene. Not to mention, the Crowns seem to fear the frustrating albeit handsome man who rescued her more than the one she testifies against. Lysta must find her strength in a world of powers, battles, and court politics while navigating tumultuous relationships and hidden enemies.

Will Lysta save her Court or be ended by it?

Red Queen meets The Hunger Games and Divergent in this young adult romantic fantasy. The first book in the series, War Hour, is fast-paced, action-packed, and filled to the brim with twists and betrayals. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and Powerless.

THE PLOT

It was so easy to get hooked into I finished it in two days. There’s a love triangle and I’m happy about the outcome. I don’t like how the book just abruptly ends though.

Great Story!!

Loved this book. The reader was amazing and the story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Can’t wait for the next one.

Everyone should listen to this

Love love this this audio. Sooo happy I got it. Saw who was narrator was and saw the blurb and took a chance. Love how Lista , our heroine) was granted a power from her trial in Valour ( a kingdom ). My favourite hero was Torrin. Lista overheard the crown prince of her kingdom devastated plans to squash the other kingdoms . Lista goes to the capital with Toron ( crown prince of Self ) but nobody trusts her. , there is someone that sabotage her every move. She thinks Torrin is behind her backstage, little does she find out who is behind the treason

What a cliffhanger can’t wait for book 2

Cris Dukehart was fantastic. Loved how she did all the characters she does such a great job capturing emotions and the mystery and giving the listener all the feels

Loved this read!

I really enjoyed War Hour. There were a couple times I could predict what was coming, but that didn’t take away from the overall plot. I really enjoyed how the magic worked in this book and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t counting down to book 2! A very enjoyable read!

Perfection

This was an absolute amazing book! I cannot wait for the second one. I will be reading the next one as soon as it comes out. I definitely recommend this book.

Great YA Read

Action, intrigue, love, betrayal and appropriate for a young adult to read. Excited for book 2.
