A Throne of Blood and Ice

The Severed Realms, Book 4

De: T.A. Lawrence

Narrado por: Lia Holland, Logan McAllister

Silly servant girl, only princesses get happy endings.

Blaise wasn't supposed to be the villain. She was supposed to charm the prince, the male she'd loved for years. That was all the potion was supposed to do—give her another face, and only for a few hours. All so she could prove the prince loved her.

Except Blaise got more than she bargained for, and instead of a beauty potion, she's now infected with a magical parasite who takes control of her body every full moon. A parasite who would rather take control permanently.

When Blaise is kidnapped from her prison cell, she wakes in a dungeon only to find herself the object of the Queen of Mystral's magical experiments.

The queen wants the parasite. The parasite wants Blaise. And Blaise wants… Nox, the brainy, sarcastic fae tasked with extracting the parasite from Blaise's body.

Nox is different from any fae she's met. For one, he can actually lie. Then there was that time she sliced her finger, and he couldn't stop staring at the drop of blood. The queen definitely has something over him, but Blaise can't figure out what. She just has a feeling she won't be making it out of these dungeons alive.

Witty, heartbreaking, and devastatingly dark, A Throne of Blood and Ice transports the listener to the kingdom of Mystral, where betrayal rots the queen's cold heart and vampires lurk in the shadows. A Throne of Blood and Ice is a loose fairytale retelling of The Snow Queen and is the fourth installment and first of a two-part finale in the Severed Realms series. It should be enjoyed only after listening to the other books in the series.

Needs a Content Warning!

I know audiobooks don’t usually have a content warning, but I wish this one had. I have LOVED every book of this series, but if I’d known, I probably would have skipped this one. There should be a Content Warning that there is child abuse and child sexual assault in this book. There is nothing graphic, but it is a heavy theme throughout the entire book.
The book, story, and narration were as good as the other 3 in the series, but if these themes are hard no’s for you, definitely be aware going in.

Meh

I honestly loved the first three books but this one was so hard to finish. I couldn't stand the main character. I get she had/has trauma but my god how pathetic can you be? Sorry to anyone who loved her. I just couldn't handle her. Keeping my fingers crossed the next one is better.

Couldn’t stop listening!

Greatly enjoyed this book! Very attention grabbing, I couldn’t stop listening to it! Highly recommend this series.

The ending, Did not!!!

I love stories that tear me up and make me cry. And then I don't want to stop listening until I hear the ending. However, this story has a huge cliffhangar. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. But the story was beautiful and I loved it. And thank you, Lawrence for another wonderful story. I can't wait to hear the rest.

I love this series!

Sad there isn’t the next audiobook available, I will finish the series though! I wish the characters made better decisions!! Lol

Love story between nox and blaze

Loved every minute, it was gripping and excellently narrated!
Cant wait for the next book.
