About this listen

Intrigue, romance, and magic abound in The Hollow Heart, the heart-stopping conclusion to Marie Rutkoski’s Forgotten Gods duology.

At the end of The Midnight Lie, Nirrim offered up her heart to the god of thieves in order to restore her people’s memories of their city’s history. The Half Kith who once lived imprisoned behind the city’s wall now realize that many among them are powerful. Meanwhile, the person Nirrim once loved most, Sid, has returned to her home country of Herran, where she must navigate the politics of being a rogue princess who has finally agreed to do her duty.

In the Herrani court, rumors begin to grow of a new threat rising across the sea, of magic unleashed on the world, and of a cruel, black-haired queen who can push false memories into your mind, so that you believe your dearest friends to be your enemies.

Sid doesn’t know that this queen is Nirrim, who seeks her revenge against a world that has wronged her. Can Sid save Nirrim from herself? Does Nirrim even want to be saved? As blood is shed and war begins, Sid and Nirrim find that it might not matter what they want…for the gods have their own plans.

This Book Broke My Heart

As previously stated, this book broke my heart.
I'm not sure about everyone reading this, but I am chronically unsatisfied with endings of a good book.
I don't know that I have ever felt so fulfilled by not only a begining, but a middle and an ending -- to the series as well as the book itself.
As a queer person, I cried many times to see the complex emotions of betrayal and joy (and so many others) expressed by the characters from interacting with the world, and with parents in particular.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
