About this listen

In this all-new novel from the world of Dhonielle Clayton’s sweeping, lush Belles series, rebellious, outspoken fan-favorite Edel Beauregard enters the Beauty Trials―a deadly competition to find the next Queen of Orléans.

Sophia, the dangerous and erratic former queen, has been imprisoned, restoring peace to Orléans. Now her sister, Charlotte, sits on the throne and has decided to invoke the ancient tradition of the Beauty Trials―a series of harrowing tests meant to find the true ruler of Orléans. Edel, who has always aspired to be more than a Belle, decides to enter and, after promising to bind her arcana to keep from having an unnatural advantage, joins a few dozen other hopefuls intent on becoming the next Queen of Orléans.

But the Trials are far worse than any of them bargained for. As the women are put through tasks that test their strength, confidence, composure, and bravery, many perish, and Edel is mysteriously attacked by one of the other competitors―forcing her to use her powers just to survive. Will her subterfuge cost her the crown, or is there a larger conspiracy at play?

New York Times bestselling author Dhonielle Clayton returns to her sweeping, lush fantasy series with an all-new story teeming with high-stakes court intrigue and danger disguised by beauty.

Forever Fan

Dhonielle did again. The vivid imagery of the characters and the scenes did not fail to draw me in and captivate my imagination. Rosie’s narration bought the characters to life once again. She did a phenomenal job of bringing out my hatred of Sophia and those like her and my love of the belles and their allies.

Finally!

Loved the conclusion of the Belles.
I enjoyed learning more about the society and the strength of Edel.
I did not give the books 5 stars because I felt like the ending was rushed and could’ve been flushed out more.

Not as captivating

This final installment of the Belles series was odd to me because it felt like a different writer. Overall it was just ok.
