Long Live the Elf Queen

The Elf Queen, Book 2

By: J.M. Kearl

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

The enthralling and romantic sequel to J.M. Kearl's enchanting Bow Before the Elf Queen.

Layala fought against falling in love with him. Thane battled to win his mate's heart. Now they'll discover if their love can withstand those who tore them apart.

Held for weeks without food or water, Layala's resolve begins to fracture as an evil darkness looms over her. She’s the key to destroying the Void or reviving its creator— the long-dead Black Mage she has a mysterious connection to.

Layala and Thane learn what it truly means to fight for love as their enemies surround them and it becomes a struggle for revenge, the kingdom, and finding the truth about why Layala seems to harbor the power of whether Palenor falls into darkness or if her Lightbringer name holds true.

Author's note: Long Live the Elf Queen is book 2 in the Elf Queen series and ends on a cliffhanger. It contains romantic steam, violence, war, and mature themes with morally grey characters.

A little disappointing

I loved the first book, but I found I had a lot of trouble getting through this one. I don't think Layala is a very strong female lead and I felt like the story just kept going on and on. I love the elements of this book and the narrators were great.

The best kind of burn

I love that this story didn't rush right away and told us about Layla's and Thane's background, some stories just go to the point but this story gives you insight.
This is important as the story progresses and you see how Layla and Thane get to interact with each other. Character development is on point. Also the burn of this story is just right, it's spicy with a hint of patience for the reader. You can't rush great things 😉 and Thane's spicy replies will leave you wanting for more

Wowzer!

What a ride! The males' narration was so much better in this book. I was expecting a plot twist, but I didn't completely guess it! I can't wait for book three! Bravo!

This series is one of my top five of 2023

I have been transported to their realm and I get so lost in the adventure! I am so excited for the the next book and I love the strong female characters! My goodness what a cliffhanger and I am undone each book gets better and better …..

Slow but good ending

The ending made me want to read the final book. Up to that point it was getting kind of slow and I was contemplating not finishing. Just felt like they spent too much time and detail on situations that really didn’t matter. I wish they had brought the dynamic of the ending in earlier.
