Summary
Set in Williams' New York Times bestselling fantasy world, the second book of The Last King of Osten Ard returns to the trials of King Simon and Queen Miriamele as threats to their kingdom loom . . .
The kingdoms of Osten Ard have been at peace for decades, but now, the threat of a new war grows to nightmarish proportions.
Simon and Miriamele, royal husband and wife, face danger from every side. Their allies in Hernystir have made a pact with the dreadful Queen of the Norns to allow her armies to cross into mortal lands. The ancient, powerful nation of Nabban is on the verge of bloody civil war, and the fierce nomads of the Thrithings grasslands have begun to mobilize, united by superstitious fervor and their age-old hatred of the city-dwellers. But as the countries and peoples of the High Ward bicker among themselves, battle, bloodshed, and dark magics threaten to pull civilizations to pieces. And over it all looms the mystery of the Witchwood Crown, the deadly puzzle that Simon, Miriamele, and their allies must solve if they wish to survive.
But as the kingdoms of Osten Ard are torn apart by fear and greed, a few individuals will fight for their own lives and destinies-not yet aware that the survival of everything depends on them.

really enjoying the whole series.
Twists and turns, plots and subplots, not to mention betrayal and murder. This book didn't disappoint me at all, and I ended up listening to hours at a time without realising it!

Enraging and entertaining
I have loved the series, I only recently finished the first trilogy and was very happy to find that he was mid way through a follow up. I love the characters, though wanting more in the final book from King Simon so we’ll see. Genuinely had a touch of anxiety knowing that I had so little time left in this story and didn’t want it to end. Look forward to the finale

Sublime Story, Told by an outstanding Storyteller
Andrew Wincott brings to life dozens upon dozens of characters in this reading, each with their own distinctive accent, cadence and speech patterns.
As ever Williams has crafted a vast and enticing world for us to re-visit - with superb pacing and a wonderful narrative.

Excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it
For such a long book this was never anything but entertaining. The narrator is very consistent with characters and truly brings them to life. Unabridged is the only way!

So glad I stuck with the books
I remember in the very first book thinking I’m going to have to kill Simon myself he is driving me nuts. Now I can’t get enough I’ve listened to all and know all the characters.
Well I thought I did great book lots going on, and twists you would not expect. Great cliff hanger
