The Royal Factions Box Set: Books 1-6

By: W.J. May

Narrated by: Graham Mack

When 16-year-old Elise is ripped from her home and taken to the royal palace as a permanent "guest", she thinks her life is over. Little does she know it has only just begun.

After befriending a group of other captives, including the headstrong Will, Elise finds herself swept away to a world she never knew existed - polished, sculpted, and refined until she can hardly recognize her own reflection. She should be happy to have escaped the poverty of her former life.

But she knows a dark truth. The palace is a dream on the surface, but a nightmare underneath. With a dwindling population, the royals have imprisoned the teenagers to marry and breed. Only seven days remain of freedom before they will be selected by a courtier and forever claimed.

Danger lurks around every corner. The only chance of escape is death. But when the day of the claiming finally arrives...the world will never be the same.

An entire journey

Betrayal, redemption, lies and royalty all seem to go hand in hand and it's so true here. Follow the journey from kidnapped girl to a queen in her own right. This series has a bit of it all.

Very YA but solidly developed. The series kept.me engaged and wanting to know what happens next.

loved it!

Awesome story! I appreciated the unexpected. There were quite a few times I caught myself yelling at my speaker, wanting the suspense to end lol

WJ May did it again

I love this author, i have read a lot of her books. This series has been great however the beginning was tough. The narration was difficult to follow in the first two books however later i was used to his voice. His female voices are not great and it’s tough to differentiate the characters many times. I have seen this same complaint from many listeners— maybe he wasn’t the perfect choice for this book. However characters are great— max is a little annoying.

Not the right fit.

The story was just okay but I thought it would have been better with a female narrator. The main character is a woman and it should have had a women's voice.

Narrator not paired well with this book!

The book is ok, the story is ok too, but the narrator is terrible for this book. I don't want to dis the narrator, he is ok with male voices but his female voice, intonation, and attitude as he reads is terrible. I would have returned the book, but Audible wouldn't allow me to. A narrator makes or breaks a story for me me and this one broke it. He makes the lead female character sound like an immature, insolent, preteen!
