A grand finale.

A grand finale that is still full of twists and turns, and expands on the final battles between Damen, Laurent, and the Regent!

A brilliant ending to a brilliant story.

C.S. Pacat is my new favorite writer. I absolutely adore this trilogy. Furthermore, Juilliard educated Stephen Bel Davies is one of the best narrators Audible has to offer.
You haven’t lived until you’ve heard SBD say “F@$& Me”
We all want to Stephen. We do
This is a MM romance/ hate to love relationship at its best.
An absolute masterpiece.
I was never bored, the pacing was perfect from beginning to end.
I was enthralled with the political intrigue, well written action sequences, intoxicating erotica , and dynamic characters with a love so special and pure that it made my heart flutter. It was a satisfying ending that I found myself screaming out loud multiple times and my eyes filled with tears ;)

loved the series .....narrator wasnt top pic tho!

Where does Kings Rising rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's pretty low-scale on the erotica so depending if I'm listening for that intent or more for an involved storyline...though one of my favorite series from my Kindle library, while I didn't dislike the narrator it was not the voice I had imagined for either main character....I had been hoping for more like Gary Furlong from As You Wish.... honestly it was only my love of the series that had me listening despite the disconnect I found with the narrator. I had hoped it would be a voice I found attractive enough to have me backtracking and listening through the dense first and second novels.....

What other book might you compare Kings Rising to and why?

There's not too many in the m/m genre I think it can compare to really, the relationship between the two mc's reminds me of Honour by A.F. Henley, in that it is told from the pov of the "servant" who is more obv enamored of his prince then the prince's complex combo of personal and political allow, and causing him to be less able to easily warm to. I felt like the storyline was more comparable in complexity, not necessarily with regards to topic, to Harper Fox's Last Line series, especially with the idea that reading later on divulges certain knowledge or past connections that were surprising and required you to think back on the first book in reflection of this newly disclosed info and how it might expand your understanding of the complex relationships and storylines.

Any additional comments?

The third one dedicates the majority of their actual relationship coming to fruition and finally seeing some of the more intimate, personable side of Laurent, so I enjoyed that being explored. I do wish a diff narrator choice had been made ....just a matter of personal taste, the narrator didn't do a poor job... but I'd have been more anxious to go back and have the first two books on audio.

Wow

So great it had me on the edge of my seat like wtf. I couldn't pit it down.

Incredible!!!

I can't put into words just how amazing this story is. You must read all three together and in order ... for the most EPIC love story!

Perfection.

Absolute favorite books. So so so good. The writing, it's incapsulating. Once you get pulled in, you're done .. you have to finish it.

I wish there was a prequel and an epilogue for these characters. They're so interesting.

Satisfying Conclusion

While I really enjoy this series, the last book isn't my favorite. I do enjoy the closure we get as an audience but I feel it could have had more.

Very spicy and would still recommend!

This series is amazing! Highly recommended!

TW: rape, incest, pedophilia

The first book is very uncomfortable to read because of all the allusions to rape and graphic sexual scenes. They do not however romanticize it and instead make the discomfort of the scenes palpable. The first book also does an amazing job of setting up the second and third. The story is deep and rich and heartfelt, with more twists and reveals than can be counted. The characters drive this story amazingly and the blossoming romance is handled superbly. This series is the Audible equivalent of an absolute page turner from start to finish!

Fantastic Book!

I absolutely loved every minute of this book. The twists and turns and emotions involved took me on a roller coaster ride of thrills, excitement and love. Damon and Laurent are couples goals and I really hope we get to see more of them in future books.
