About this listen

'A tale to savour and devour, one that gleams like starlight and cuts like a sword' Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals, on A Feather So Black

On a mysterious snowy island ruled by a trickster king where magic comes at a price, a deadly trial commences. The prize: a chance for vengeance. A Crown So Silver is the second book in Lyra Selene's Number One Sunday Times bestselling Fair Folk trilogy, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Fourth Wing.

After her sacrifice on the Ember Moon, Fia is flush with powerful magic and eager to rush into battle against her murderous sister, Eala. However, Fia's new husband Irian suggests they bide their time and retreat to the Silver Isle, a snowy island at the edge of the fae world.

Ruled by the cunning smith-king, the Silver Isle proves far from a safe haven. Fia and Irian become embroiled in the Tournament of Kings competing for a magical forging of immense power. Fia and Irian's relationship will be put to the test as they navigate their conflicting motivations, shifting allegiances and ancient magic.

With the end of the tournament looming and Eala's threat growing, Fia must decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice to defeat her sister.

I loved the first book and was super excited for the sequel, but it was a bit of a let down. The overall story was good, but the main characters just weren't doing it for me. Fia behaves like a whiny self absorbed brat, similar to Bryce in CC3... colour not impressed. And Irian is suddenly transformed into Tamlin... no thanks! Also setting up a second love triangle (love quadruple? love square?) was completely unnecessary. I liked the side characters and the magical creatures and places. The last few chapters saved the book for me so I will be reading the last installment.
The narration was great.
