Ember Queen

Ash Princess, Book 3

De: Laura Sebastian

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times best-selling series "made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir" (Bustle), Ember Queen is an epic fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.

Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is fire in Theo's blood. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. And if she learned anything from her mother, it's that a Queen never cowers.

Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. Imbued with a magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way.

The Kaiserin's strange power is growing stronger, and with Prinz Søren as her hostage, there is more at stake than ever. Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart's sister.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Sure to be one of the summer's most talked about YAs.... A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down.” (Bustle)

“Tense and imaginative, this story of a diminished yet vengeful princess inciting a rebellion to recapture her rightful place of power strikes a timely chord. Ash Princess is a smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal. Good luck putting this one down.” (Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series)

“The story leaps and twists like a swordswoman, and its blade carves the characters anew and divides them against themselves. This searing page-turner is a compelling examination of the complexities of both evil and resistance.” (Sarah Porter, author of Vassa in the Night)

Wonderful Ending to Trillogy

Amazing series which got the ending it deserved. Recommend reading 100%, you won’t regret it.

Fitting end

I loved the narration of this book. as usual wonderful job!!! The final installment was great, would have loved to see Cres and Theo throw down at the end though. missed opportunity if you ask me.

Good Read

I like the story until the end. I didn’t like the ending.. I think it could have been a better conclusion. But overall the narrator was excellent!

Great ending

Loved this series although I do feel like this last book drew out a little bit in the middle. I felt myself wanting to skip chapters to get to more interesting parts. Still a great listen when you have a long time to wait.

Bravo! Wonderful!

This has been an amazing collection! Three amazing books, not a dull moment, they move long and make you laugh and cry, love and hate, and all over again! Laura Sebastian, thank you for the wonderful hours if entertainment and escape from every day life! Bravo! You have n admirer! And Saskia Maarleveld, you did a wonderful job. The readers voice, tone and rhythm, can make or ruin a book! You improved it and filled me with emotions with your subtle intonations and perfect pace! Thank you!

I would highly recommend you all read/listen to these three books! You will not regret it!

AMAZING!

A wonderful conclusion to an amazing series! It’s always heartbreaking when you have to say goodbye to a story you love but I am so glad we get to say goodbye in this way. Sebastian is a master of pace and skillfully builds tension throughout this book, while threading in kind, humorous, and loving moments to relieve in between. She creates a tight plot and gives us moments rarely seen in epic journeys. We get to see battle strategies and negotiations, and the thought process of what it takes to become a queen. We get to understand the characters’ choices - not just told those choices are the “only ones available” - which is immensely refreshing. This whole novel is centered on choice and the complexities and consequences behind each one - and this makes for a beautiful and surprising climax. I think that exploration of choice, and what it means to be free, is also what creates such vivid, realistic characters. And it is the character development and dedication to each person’s value in this final installment that glues you to the page and crafts a heart-stirring ending to this great series.

An Ending befitting a Queen

This was such a great, intense, heart wrenching end full of battles, betrayals & loss. Long Live Queen Theodosia!
