Summary

The second novel in Justin Lee Anderson's sensational epic fantasy series where the war for a kingdom exits the shadows now that a terrifying secret has been revealed.

The fog of war is lifted and the conspiracy at the heart of Eidyn finally exposed.

Now they know the truth, Aranok and his allies must find a way to free a country that doesn't know it's held captive.

But with divided loyalties and his closest friendship shaken, can their alliance hold against overwhelming odds? The quest to retake the country begins here.

A fast-paced epic fantasy, filled with swashbuckling action and expansive worldbuilding, The Bitter Crown is the gripping sequel to The Lost War, perfect for fans of Nicholas Eames and RJ Barker.

Not quite enough difference in the characters voices, amazing world building and complex characters I cannot wait for the next instalment. This is definitely a series worth investing in

A captivating listen with no cliche characters and no obvious storylines. Very well performed, where individuals are easily identifiable. Well done Justin! I eagerly await the next in the saga.

Captivating listen!

Absolutely loved this book. The first was very good but this took it to a whole new level. One of the best new fantasy books I've read in many years

Excellent characters, world-building and pacing

The further I got into this book the more I couldn't pull myself away, the characters are well tounded and have developed through the books with new highs, lows, conflicts and twists in the story. well written, easy to follow and distinguish characters and plot points. very much looking forward to the next in the series.

I will admit coming straight from the first audio book to this one I was at first jolted by the change in narrator, but it didn't take me long to fall back into the world Anderson has created.

Great development of an already interesting story.
