About this listen

Can they survive the truth of their war? Can their hearts?

A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.

Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, is reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she's powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. With a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.

Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they'll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.

Throne of Glass meets House of the Dragon in The Forbidden Heir Trilogy, a fun and chaotic new take on fantasy, featuring enemies-to-lovers, modernized banter, dragons, heartache, adventure, and dark sorcery that grows throughout the series. This is told from multiple first-person POVs, including the villains, and is a character-driven romantic fantasy. The story will be enjoyed by lovers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Carissa Broadbent. For mature listeners.

This was a really good book ! Nice twists and the narrators did a great job

Great storytelling

There's a lot I could say about this one... I would have dnf'd, but by the time I decided that it wasn't worth it, I had listened to too much of the story and I wanted points towards my reading goal. The basic story and world building is good - I think. However, the characters are two dimensional and have no distinction between what is "in character" and what is not for them - particularly the FMC. The plots twists are a straight line and the stupidity of the King is astounding. I don't think it's a spoiler to say this because it's apparent from the opener. The real kicker is how many characters go on about how he's the "best male" they have ever known. Yeah... you mean the male who let innocent people die in a war that's 126 years old because he feels guilty and is too weak to stand up to his wife?? Yeah sure, he's awesome.

Considering I had to force myself to listen to the last 3 or so hours (at many times sped up...), I will not be continuing with the trilogy.

The narrators were ok, although the male narrator's female voices were pretty cringey - but I don't think you can avoid that when he has such a deep voice.

Light, fluffy, and with no common sense
