A Heart so Fierce and Broken audiobook – The Cursebreaker, Book 2

a cool Sunday morning, my balcony doors thrown open, letting in the gentle whispers of the morning breeze. As I nestle into my favorite chair, hot cocoa in hand, I hit play on A Heart so Fierce and Broken audiobook. From the moment Melissa Bayern’s voice filled the room, closely followed by Matt Reeves, Kate Handford, and Davis Brooks, I was transported back to Emberfall, the kingdom I had so deeply fallen in love with in the first book.

The story of Prince Rhen, the cursed prince, and Harper, the fierce girl from another world, continues to enthrall. Brigid Kemmerer’s storytelling prowess shines even brighter in this sequel. The complexities of politics, the burdens of a crown, forbidden magic, and the eternal tussle between heart and duty are meticulously intertwined. The undercurrents of tension, particularly the looming threats and Grey’s revelation, kept me on tenterhooks.

One thing that really stands out in this audiobook is the use of multiple narrators. Each narrator brings out the distinct personalities, the hidden depths, and the struggles of the characters. Melissa Bayern’s portrayal of Harper, filled with determination and vulnerability, made me root for her even more. Matt Reeves and Davis Brooks seamlessly transitioned between their parts, making the world of Emberfall even more vivid and real.

Towards the end, as the sun climbed higher in the sky and my cup lay empty, I felt a myriad of emotions. Brigid Kemmerer has crafted a tale that delves deep into loyalty, love, power, and choices. With political intrigue, heart-wrenching moments, and revelations that promise an explosive next installment, this is a must-listen for every young adult fantasy enthusiast.
