About this listen

Koren Bladewell's future was stolen from him, by wizards who chose to lie, to conceal the fact that Koren is a wizard.

Crown princess Ariana Trehayme must find a way to become queen before her 16th birthday - before her indecisive mother allows all of Tarador to be conquered.

It’s a good sequel, the plot moves well. It’s a bit of a slow placed story than the first. However there is more battles. So if you prefer that over tea and cake with the princess it’s got that going for it.

Side note. The author needs to make it clear what a wizard can/can’t do. I feel like my knowledge of it is as good as Koren’s. which basically is just a load of misconceptions. Which would be fine however we deal with other major characters. Suck as highly skilled wizards and this book keeps throwing need conception and new abilities. Which i thought a wizard in this book can’t do.
Also wizards are op as hell. The only reason normal people fight in this book is due to the lack of wizards.

Good sequel
