With each passing day, Kelsea Glynn is growing into her new responsibilities as Queen of the Tearling. By stopping the shipments of slaves to the neighbouring kingdom of Mortmesne, she crossed the Red Queen, a brutal ruler whose power derives from dark magic, who is sending her fearsome army into the Tearling to take what is hers. And nothing can stop the invasion.

But as the Mort army draws ever closer, Kelsea develops a mysterious connection to a time before the Crossing, and she finds herself relying on a strange and possibly dangerous ally: a woman named Lily, fighting for her life in a world where being female can feel like a crime. The fate of the Tearling - and that of Kelsea’s own soul - may rest with Lily and her story, but Kelsea may not have enough time to find out.

In this dazzling sequel to her best-selling debut The Queen of the Tearling, Erika Johansen brings back favourite characters, including the Mace and the Red Queen, and introduces unforgettable new players, adding exciting layers to her multidimensional tale of magic, mystery and a fierce young heroine.

I don't understand why they have swopped the person who reads this from the first book. The third book also appears to be read by someone else completely! It took me awhile to get into and to stop being distracted by the new voice and the way she made the main character speak, as I listened to this straight after finishing the first book. Grrr. Now onto the third.. With another person reading. Yey.

Apart from that, book is good. Less confusing now when it switches between time frames/places than it was in the first book. One can't help feeling that perhaps these three books could have been just a single book however.

OK but,...

Davina Porter is definitely my favourite reader! The story was great too, I'm looking forward to listening to the last book!

Great reader, great story

I am so sooo pleased that I persevered through Book 1. The narrator of the first book was awful to listen to but I kept with it as I knew a different person was reading this , the second book. Really enjoyed this narration just hope Book 3 is read as well as I can't wait to hear what happens next.

Really enjoyed it
