Twisted Iron Marks

Audiobook - a favourite narrator who improves every book. Story 3.5 stars.- while there were some interesting plot twists and a more solid base for Cillian and Bram's need to learn to trust each other, there was too much repetition about their lack of that trust. In Elven society as is, it was impossible to know who deserved any trust at all, and the witches were just as awful. I'm still invested in what I hope will be a good outcome for all groups, but it's taking very long to get there.

Things are not going well for Bran. This is book 2 in the Bitter Legacies series by Hailey Turner. What a great follow-up to book number 1. I didn't like this one as much as I liked book 1, those fae are nasty creatures and I felt so sorry for Bran. I guess that's a me problem. The narrator, Gary Furlong, had another stellar performance. Boy, Hailey had us on the edge of our seats just waiting to see what she had in store for these guys next. Poor Bran had the toughest time and I hope the next book will see him not so used and abused. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. An old foe is discovered, the witch council delivers some ultimatums, Bran and Cillian on the run, the collar must be worn at all times for Bran's protection, thank heavens for Bran's familiar

Overall this is a good book. Interesting world, characters, plot, with pkenty of action and danger. The CWs are not accurate and readers who have a hard time with graphic and frequest ab*se and cr*elty, should think before reading. Narration was good though sometimes monotonous. I received an early copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
