The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson
4.0
Ah ... the end of the series. I really enjoyed this book, and this series. I listened to the audio-editions for all three, and I think that only added to the exotic/fantasy feel. The names! I think I enjoyed hearing them pronounced, rather than attempting to sound them out myself.
I was just SO used to the "voice" of our narrator, especially after two+ full books, that when suddenly, a male voice (Hector's POV) came, it was a little jolting for me. I guess I can understand the need for it, as Elisa and Hector are separated, but still, the shifting broke up the continuity for me somewhat.
I was not sure where the story was heading, it kept me interested and listening whenever I could get back to my book. I remember feeling a little emotional at one point, almost to the point of tears.
Honestly, with the foreign sounding names, I'm going to struggle a bit remembering some of the pronunciations, even after three books. But I adored them rolling off the narrator's tongue! Bravo to the author and the narrator!
