The long-awaited companion to New York Times best sellers Graceling and Fire.
Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle - disguised and alone - to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the 35-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart.

My only issue was I had gotten used to the full cast audio voices from the first book and it was strange to hear the same characters with different voices and especially different accents. The narrator did a great job but it was like having new actors play your favorite characters after a whole season of a show. By halfway through the book I didn't notice the change as much and I would still definitely recommend it.
Great Story, good narrating

I recommend you listen to this book (though first listen to Graceling and Fire). The voices and music in this audiobook allowed me to feel as if I was there in Bitterblues castle.
Great!
