About this listen

Best-selling faerie series perfect for fans of Holly Black and Cassandra Clare.

Only weeks after Ivy's return to her true home in the Winter Court, she finds herself thrown into life as a royal with a hectic schedule she hates and an Unseelie fiance she can't stand. Even worse, the one person she is forbidden to love, Barrett Forbes, is her personal guard, which makes getting to know Prince Ardan awkward and uncomfortable.

Ivy's life spirals into more chaos when she discovers her human best friend, Jules, has journeyed to Faerie to find her and is now being used as a pawn against her. Together, Ivy and Jules must trust each other, carefully choosing every move in a dark game that would pit them against each other.

Meanwhile, the Winter Queen's sister has escaped from her cell in the castle's dungeons to form a dangerous alliance that could destroy the Winter Realm and all Ivy holds dear.

Filled with friendship, love, and lies, this exciting sequel to The Thorn Princess will keep you listening long into the night.

Heir of Iron Hearts

This is a great book. Book two picks up when Ivy and Barrett arrive in the Winter Court. Ivy has just found out that she is a faerie Princess. She also found out that she was betrothed to Arden one of the Unseelie Princes. Ivy and the Winter Queen have to try and stop all the wrong doings that have occurred to their land. The end of the book is where she has to start on her next journey before time runs out. Can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

3.75 iron-like STARS ★★★✬✩

This book is for you even if… you didn't really love the prequel. Won't have to convince those who did.

⤐ Overall.
I love it when a sequel is better than the prequel, as was the case here. Lately, I experienced just the opposite a lot and that really sucks. Aspects such as the plot, pace and characters definitely experienced an improvement in Heir of Iron Hearts. In addition, the teenage angst is continued, and that's what gets our ovens hot, amiright?
It wasn't perfect but I didn't expect it to be. It was enjoyable, sometimes funny and shocking, which is all I can ask for in a YA book. I couldn’t really say there was something I disliked particularly. I do however expect the series to keep on picking up, so the next one hopefully blows me away. I'm excited to continue the journey through the faerie realm.

Characters. Well, there are some interesting fellas we come across in this book, I can tell ya. My favourite is the misunderstood bad boy that does terrible things although we all know he's are better than that although I'd do my best to keep guys like him at arms-length in real life. As I said many times over, we want soft bois, they are just way more swoony.
We also have some purely evil folks.+ and then there's the ones between a rock and a hard place, which makes for an interesting mix. I could never really tell who's sympathies lie with whom. Furthermore, a lot of development is to be witnessed. It's always something I enjoy in a good book.

World(-building). Introducing the other courts and their motivations helped me to settle in the kingdom-y atmosphere of the book. Because the prequel took place in the human world as well, I had trouble adjusting to some of the topics and themes that were introduced. Luckily, with Heir of Iron Hearts, I fully arrived in this snowy, icy place of wonder.


The arch of suspense was mainly fueled by the many opposing characters and motivations. The way Ivy is torn between her duties as a princess and the things her heart tells her puts increasing pressure on her throughout the plot, which thus keeps picking up steadily.

⤐ What’s happening.
‘At the darkest time of year, Lord Yule laid down his beard of snow and cloak of frost and ice to illuminate the gloom.’

And gloomy it is indeed, Ivy's new home. While the white snow and the euphoria of the winter court radiate light, it is somewhat overfogged by the returning presence of Prince Arden, her future husband and part-time-trouble maker. The resulting gloom is almost blinding Ivy. How far will Prince Arde go to prove his deviant streak? And how far will Ivy go until her heart can't defy the love she has for Bear anymore?
Con:
⇢ future hubby is a slimy philanderer
⇢ bear always near, yet so far away
⇢ winter court still under threat
Pro:
⇢ best friend as companion
⇢ when there are enemies, there are also allies
⇢ slimy philanderer does have some morals
