About this listen
Cast out by her kingdom and far from home, she's the Kanin people's only hope. Bryn Aven - unjustly charged with murder and treason - is on the run. The one person who can help is her greatest enemy, the gorgeous and enigmatic Konstantin Black. Konstantin is her only ally against those who have taken over her kingdom and threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. But can she trust him?
As Bryn fights to clear her name, the Kanin rulers' darkest secrets are coming to light... and now the entire troll world is on the brink of war. Will it tear Bryn from Ridley Dresden, the only guy she's ever loved? And can she join forces with Finn Holms and the Trylle kingdom? Nothing is as it seems, but one thing is certain: an epic battle is underway - and when it's complete, nothing will ever be the same....

But it’s not like I have a choice. My bastard of an uncle basically sold me to a dangerously pretty nobleman, and they can’t pull off this heist without me.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Finally! Some resolution
Finally, finally some resolution to Bryn Aven’s problems with the Kanin. But it doesn’t come without a heavy cost. There are at least two large battles. And several of Bryn’s best friends and their friends and family die. Partly because Bryn can’t resist the compulsion, nearly universal among young fantasy heroines (and some young fantasy heroes) to personally try to save everybody, especially everybody close to her. In this case, it backfires on Bryn badly and obviously. Her enemies follow her when she goes to find them even when she thinks she is evading them, and so are led to her friends.
Before the battles, though, Bryn travels throughout the Troll kingdoms with her former enemy, Konstantin Black, trying to gain support for an attack on the Kanin queen. This is even before she discovers that the queen has poisoned the king and is beginning to implement a lot of frightening policies against the Kanin people.
It’s not until Bryn visits a small village at the far end of nowhere and discovers who the queen really is and why she is acting as she is that she finally makes any headway in recruiting support for her cause. Until then, the thinking of the leaders of the various Troll tribes is that the Kanin royals are just that – royals just like themselves – and therefore none of their business.
I thought for a while that Bryn would fall in love with Konstantin. But no. Apparently, her feelings for him were just hero-worship all along. After everything is resolved, Bryn and Ridley get back together. But somehow the trials of the past months seem to have made their relationship less urgent. And, wouldn’t you know? The big anxiety about a forbidden relationship seems to have suddenly vanished along with the deceitful queen.
My favorite characters in this book were the Skojare king and queen, especially the queen. They were the only ones totally supportive of Bryn from the beginning. And they seem to have grown enormously since we first met them in the previous book when the king was almost too shy to talk, and the queen was hardly more than a frightened child. Now they are stepping up and taking charge of their kingdom and helping Bryn with the Kanin as well.
Though the situation seemed desperate at times, and an unusually high number of important characters died, the tone of the book as a whole was quite bright and bracing, kind of like the clear Canadian winter air.
The narration continued to be good.

good read
this book was a good read although the love interests once finally figured out and decided who to be with didn't seem to have enough resolution that it would leave it open for another book to explain once they figured out they both loved each other how they planned to be together beyond that.

Immersive, well-crafted story, recommended series
The three trilogy story was very well-imagined, with compelling characters and a strong plot. World building was excellent. It was a story easy to immerse oneself in. I read it almost six years ago and didn't like it as much, or even remember it...but I do recommend it warmly, now. The narrator, Eileen Stevens, is superb. She really made it easy to fall into the atmosphere and know the characters.

Meh...
Sadly I couldn’t wait for this audiobook to be over.
I read the first book so I was already committed.
The storyline is Predicable with this character.
Bren causes most her angst herself.
Simply put She is a brat.
She is always running towards danger like an ill prepared toddler.
Then wonders Why? How? When she gets hurt or someone gets killed. ITS MADDENING
And having to listen to her through this narrator makes her character even more Intolerable.
She is supposed to be a trained strong, smart soldier but she can’t ever do anything herself she needs TO BE SAVED all the time, every step of the way.
Or she all the sudden turns into RoboCop and takes on 50 soldiers, and a few ogers and leaves the reader or listener wondering WHERE did that come from?
Then she passes out and you think to yourself
Ah “There she is” that’s our girl.
Her actions cause a lot of people she supposedly cares about to die needlessly.
You will want to slap her! Or cheer for the bad guy because she is so ridiculous.
And that’s my review. End.

G R E A T Ending!
Overall this series is my least favorite by Amanda Hocking. I don't know if it just didn't hit me at the right time or what but I didn't connect with these books as quickly as I had all her others.
However, there is a huge payoff by the end of this book and I shutter to think I almost didn't make it. If you are feeling a little fed up and board by the end of the series PUSH THROUGH the end is fan-flippin-tastic.
