The Royal Games

A Young Adult Dystopian Romance (A Game of Crowns and Lies, Book 1)

By: Jamie Sanders

Narrated by: Beth Nicholls

Once in a generation, the young women of the Unified Territories of Palias are given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to become a princess.

It’s an honor Kaia Luvaryan has no interest in competing for. In the aftermath of the Great War, huge swaths of what was once the United States of America are uninhabitable. Every day is a struggle to survive.

But Kaia doesn’t want to leave her family or her best friend Finn behind - not even for a chance at winning Crown Prince Dominic’s hand in marriage. Life in her home territory of Hilora is hard, but at least it’s hers.

Her life. Her choice.

Until, suddenly, it’s not anymore.

Branded a criminal and sentenced to a punishment that amounts to death, Kaia is given only one way out.

She must compete in the Royal Games...as a spy for the Queen of Palias herself.

Perfect for fans of The Selection and The Hunger Games. Dive into this story of intrigue, danger, romance, and deception!

The narrator is horrible

If you don't mind monotone ... Robotic . Hearing every and I seriously mean every sentence have a weird pause before starting the next sentence then good luck. This narrator is just plan horrible and hard to listen to

A Really Interesting World

One of my favorite audiobooks of this genre even though there is not second book in the series. The back story and world of the character is really interesting and has a lot of depth. I hope we get a second book some day.

Good, but it could be better.

It was a good book overall. Really like the princess bachelorette battle action story. Really enjoyed it but there are better plot lines in other books similar to this. Didn’t mind the voice. I would read part 2 if it comes out. Wanna know how is it would be for Kaia battle in the official games.

I enjoyed the story, but the narration was difficult

I decided to give it until Chapter 5 to see if the narration would be tolerable. It does get better, but it was very challenging. But, the story held my attention and I wanted to hear what happened next.

I need more

The second book isn’t here please make the rest of the books soon you are amazing.
