Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

“A true fantasy masterpiece." —Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Since Victoria Aveyard launched the instant #1 New York Times bestselling Realm Breaker, the series has taken readers by storm. Now the sequel is here to continue this epic fantasy series.

The fate of the world rests on a blade’s edge.

With her Companions at her side, Corayne has mastered the ancient magic in her blood, closing one spindle and pushing back the evil that threatens their world. But the fight is far from over.

Queen Erida and her consort, Taristan, continue their march through Allward, crumbling castles and conquering kingdoms with an unstoppable army and unthinkable forces of darkness.

With no choice but to raise an army of their own, Corayne and her Companions face perilous lands, dangerous mercenaries, and seething monsters, as they rally a divided world behind them. But will they be strong enough to confront the latest evil that Queen Erida and Taristan have unlocked? Or will it consume their world in flames, dashing all hope for victory completely.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series, comes another sweeping and epic fantasy adventure featuring multiple-POVs, incredible action, and unforgettable twists, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Tolkien himself.

This was the second book in a new series by an author that I have been a huge fan of. For some reason though, I didn't seem to be able to fall into this series in the way that I have in the past with her books. It may have been that there was a significant amount of time between the first and second books, but I really do not think that was it. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the storyline. I just never had that feeling that I get where you couldn't NOT put the book down because you just had to find out what was going to happen.

This storyline continues on with the journey of the motley group that has been assembled to help
Corayne save the world from destruction. The bad guys - Queen Erida and her prince Taristan - are continuing on their rampage across the continent and are continuing to conquer other kingdoms and open other spindles in the process.

Corayne and her group are desperately trying to follow in their wake and close the newly opened spindles and stop the creatures emerging from these spindles - but they are falling behind. Erida is becoming an even worse "bad guy" and it is very easy to root for the underdogs in this scenario.

Corayne is still trying to find her footing in this new world and new scenario and her confidence is beginning to grow and take root. The group itself is becoming more cohesive and they seem to be getting stronger as a group, yet they are facing incredible odds and things are not looking good.

Again, this was an interesting storyline, yet for me it was missing something. What that something was, I honestly have no idea, but it did take me several weeks to finish this book. That is extremely odd for me as I usually finish a book either in the same day or within the next day or so. But, I will say that the ending - say the last 10% or so - definitely cranked up the tension and the drama. I did find myself on the edge of my seat as things unfurled and I was sad that it ended when it did.

Will I continue with this series? Yes, I think I will. I've already invested the time and effort for books one and two and I DO want to know how things are going to end. It's probably just me - or maybe just odd timing - so I want to try again with book 3 and hopefully find myself hooked again. Ms. Aveyard has built up quite a lot of credit with me so I am going to cash in on that now and finish this series.

Amazing read

I disliked the narrator, it was hard to hear her when she would whisper parts of the story, and I’m disappointed that the characters never kissed, and I wished more of them would have survived

Almost a great story

What a wonderful opportunity to follow the path and adventures of so beloved and well-developed characters in their quest to save Alward.
I really enjoyed the multiple POVs throughout the story and found particularly interesting to feel and see through Erida’a eyes.
As always, the performance by Natalie Naudus was incredible and helped the story become even greater.

I truly recommend this saga to epic fantasy lovers, who want to come across an amazing world-building and strong female characters.

I’m really looking forward to reading next book on this series, which has become one of my all-time favourites!

“With me!”

Good story and great voices but one of the w voices is a little high pitched. I would love to see it as a movie though

I wish I could say 4.5

This is a great series so far! The cliffhanger ending has me excited for the next book!! The narrator is one of my favorites although she can be very hard to hear at certain points. The way she uses her vocal fry to distinguish all the characters is very good!!

Can’t wait for the next!!!!

As always, Victoria Aveyard weaves an epic tale of adventure. Thrilling and humorous, with a cast of diverse characters you just fall in love with. Book 2 of this story continues with the same skill as the first, can’t wait for the third!

Riveting at every turn

Great book

I loved Realm Breaker book #1, but the series just keeps getting better with this second installment. EXCELLENT writing and amazing (really) narration. I only wish I had waited until the third book came out to listen to this one because it is a real cliff hanger and now I am chewing on my nail-less fingertips!!!

Wow!
