I am the heat that stirs her flesh, The longing that trembles her bone. She calls me the devil, So I show her pleasure, Like only the devil can. Then, she stumbles in to my domain, Lost and frightened, Alone and confused. I long for warmth, Yet, all that I touch, Is cold.
Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh, Surrounds me, suffocates me, But I am the vile ruler who controls it all.
As I listened, I found myself just as eager as Ada is to uncover her story and the truth.Īs I said with book one, if you are in the market for a Dark Fantasy Romance, this is definitely the book for you, and thanks to Auri Alden and Gregory Salinas, the audiobook is truly captivating.Worse than a ruthless king. I found myself waiting for him to appear, because he added such levity and complexity to the story. First of all, Yarin, the smooth-talking, dreadfully cavalier, God of thought. Two characters that I NEED to mention in this review are Enosh’s brothers. This led me to listen (thank you headphones) to steamy hot, or terrifyingly exciting moments in completely inappropriate places, like the grocery store check out, or walking my kids to the bus. Enough that I found it sincerely hard to put down. The plot moves swiftly, but not overwhelmingly so. And boy does Liv know how to paint a picture with words. As we follow Ada’s journey, we learn how much of her world was forgotten and altered by the corrupted rulers as she does. Her worldbuilding is so intricately woven through the plot that it isn’t exhausting (as it can be in other fantasy books) and not overly complicated. As well, this book allowed me to further appreciate this incredible world that Liv had created. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators performed Liv Zander’s words with heart, sensuality, determination, and terror in equal measure. This is where she develops her crown and becomes queen. In Liv Zander’s Queen of Rot and Pain, FMC Ada truly comes into her own. The previous book ended on one hell of a cliffhanger, and I was so pleased to be able to dive right in to book. For as much as book one straddled my thrills/chills line, THIS BOOK.
