The King's Queen

Magiford Supernatural City (Gate of Myth and Power, Book 3)

De: K. M. Shea

Narrado por: Katie Koster, Paul Woodson

When the elven king of death released me even though my existence is a threat to his kingdom, I took the opportunity to run. There is just one problem… I also fell in love with him.

Nothing like a little doomed love to add a dash of intrigue to life, right? Unfortunately, that’s not even the worst of it.

I’m a worrier on my best days, but with a psycho tracking my every move because he’s obsessed with killing me, I’ve graduated to the level of paranoid lunatic.

Even if I could forget about the tracker—not happening since he’s figured out the fastest way to get to me is to attack my adopted family—my regular life is also anxiety-inducing as the city of Magiford is brewing with trouble.

Someone is setting off increasingly powerful magical spells downtown, upsetting all the humans. The supernatural community is desperate to find the perpetrator, and the top leaders are convinced the psychotic tracker chasing me is in on it. Their solution? Use me to capture the tracker for questioning.

What none of us counted on was Noctus—the elven king of death—interfering. Turns out I might not be the only one to regret our parting. But is there any way he could help me, and still keep his kingdom a safe secret?

At least one thing is for sure: I’m in way over my head with this, and my gut is warning me that I’m about to test if cats really do have nine lives.

King’s Queen is the last book in the Gate of Myth and Power urban fantasy trilogy, and is part of the Magiford Supernatural City world. It is an adventure-filled and hilarious take on the Hades and Persephone myth, with a twist of mystery. It’s packed with humor, battles, and a sweet, slow burn romance between an outcast magic user and the deadly king of the elves.

Truck!

This book was a fabulous ending to the series. Truck was probably my favorite part of the whole book. I hope more get written in this world.

Sweet humor and love

Everything a fairy tale should be, including the happy ending. A bit too much angst, but that's her style. If only there were more authors who wrote happiness, sweet themes and laughter into their stories. I love the characters' ability to laugh at themselves and with others. She is also very inventive with her plots. Good stuff!

So good

This book gets better and better. Love this series. One of my favorite authors and one of my favorite books.

Excellent ending to this story

I just love everything about this series. The characters are so loveable and fun. A sweet and adventurous urban fantasy. The narration was perfect, as usual.

Perfect

Loved how the voice actors brought this wonderful series to life- absolutely brilliant 😸🥳

This is a must listen series- the story, the characters, the humor and romance- chiefs kiss

Jubilant end to the trilogy

While I still don't LOVE the male narrator, I do still love the female narrator for this character. There is a bit where the "I'm a runner, not fighter" internal dialogue drags, but it's otherwise a very satisfying and at times very action packed ending to my favorite of all the Magiford trilogies. I do love how everyone who lives her, including herself, embraces the adorableness of her cat form. There's toe beans and cat paws and the genuine joy of a dedicated group of cat lovers. I love how the elves that follow Noctus absolutely embrace her because she's important to her king. I love the meaning of Amalourne.

Another home run!

Loved it! What a great way to end the trilogy! I highly recommend this book and all the Magiford-related trilogies.

great book!

Love K.M. Shea and the readers did a good job. I have usually already read the books I am listening to, and the reader's voices, no matter how well done the reading is, just may not match the voices in my head.
