Prisca, a hybrid, and Lorian, an elf, have been thrown together in a battle against a nefarious human king who uses other people’s magic to keep him young and in power. His reign of over four hundred years must come to an end, but exactly how can they bring that about?
This is standard fantasy with some very spicy scenes thrown in. I usually don’t read erotic romance to review, since it’s my job to edit said genre, but I do enjoy a fantasy adventure, so I took a crack at this one. Having not read the first book in the series, I was a bit lost at the beginning. This series does have the feel of one really big book that was split into three parts, so you can’t skip the prequels. I eventually figured out what was going on and afterward enjoyed the ride. I look forward to the next book in the series.
I like it when a book has multiple first-person perspectives (the direction a lot of romance is taking), and the producer uses multiple narrators. The experience is much more satisfying than the female narrator trying to do the male protagonist’s voice or vice-versa. Tim Paige and Meg Sylvan did a great job working against each other as the narrators.
If you like fantasy romance with the heat turned way up, "A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty" is going to be a fun read or listen for you. I received it from NetGalley.
