About this listen
Queen Sparrow’s goal of reuniting the Radiant fae with the Grym fae isn’t going the way she’d hoped. Brokering peace is hard to do when Queen Anyka, the woman who sits on the Grym throne, believes both kingdoms should be hers to rule.
Ro isn’t about to let that happen. Since recovering an ancient grimoire filled with dangerous dark magic, she understands better who and what she’s up against. Anyka craves possession of the grimoire and Ro knows why. Anyka wants to use the magic inside to take control of Ro’s kingdom. And eliminate Ro.
Ro seeks the help and possible alliance with the fire-breathing citizens of the Cloud Kingdom, but they might be as dangerous as the book she’d hidden from Anyka. If she can win them over, it would be a major victory.
The real question is can she get to the Cloud Kingdom alive? Someone is out to get her. And it might not be Anyka.

Story
Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

The joke's on Kash Samuels when he stumbles into a bar called NOPE, looking for warmth and a working phone, only to get caught in the middle of a fight. Next thing you know, he's got weird appendages popping up all over the place . . . a fin here, a lock of pink hair there, a mangy tail somewhere else. Maybe he actually fell asleep in his car and the exhaust fumes made him loco. It's the only way to explain the insanity that ensues when he finds himself surrounded by a group of stunning ladies claiming to be paranormal beings, along with their entourage of demon, zombie, and troll butler/chef.

Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

Luna Thorn’s past is a mystery...even to herself. She arrived in Detroit amid a swirl of lights and magic. She had no memory of where she came from. No idea why she was there. Years later, she’s established herself as a force to be reckoned with on the Detroit magical scene. She ingratiated herself with the local reapers. She set up a community called the Cathedral to help those who had been displaced from their homes and families, declaring that nobody would fall through the cracks. Still, doubt remains.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse.

Nope. Just found out from the rudest, meanest, and hottest guy alive that I’m a Demon.

My life was going just fine by most standards. I ran a successful business in a tight-knit magical community, and lived just blocks from a beautiful lake and series of hiking trails. Then Selene showed up. According to some magical code I inherit my aunt's ancient familiar; a grumpy ten-pound cat with a broken filter. She fancies herself something of a saber-toothed tiger, and claims to have wrestled the thread of her ninth life from the hands of the Fates themselves—although, I'm pretty sure that last part isn't true. Almost positive.

It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a series as much as this one. The story lines are interesting, the characters are well developed, and the narration is top-notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The battle continues between Ro and Anika
Queen Sparrow (Ro) and Queen Anyka continue their battle between Peace or Possession of the kingdoms and the grimoire of dark magic. Each one has its own reasons to possess the book. There's a lot of twist and changes on some of the characters. I love it when great characters and places are introduced in the plot like the fire breathing citizens of the Cloud Kingdom. There's also some emotions not typically of the character. At times I felt bad for Anika, I won't give specifics so I don't reveal spoils. Also the romantic relationships in both kingdoms are displayed. The sad thing of all of this is having to wait for the next book/audio. "Dios te bendiga Kristen" so you continue enlightening our lifes.

The Cloud Kingdom
This was so amazing to get to listen to! Queen Sparrow is one of my favorite characters and this world that Kristen Painter built is such an interesting and unique place! I am always thrilled when a new book comes out!! This one was full of danger, conflict, adventures and new friends. I was so caught up in it that I was not ready for it to end! I will be waiting anxiously for the next book! I highly recommend this and all the other Kristen Painter books! I have loved every one!!

The book is opened
This was SO good. I loved seeing all the characters again. The new wyvren (spelling?) were an added bonus. It does sort of end on a cliffhanger. I'm curious about the daughter Beatrice. She wasn't around much and I felt like she could've helped to control her mother maybe? Well, she probably has tried her whole life. It's wishful thinking. I loved that the diary was finally opened. This is definitely a series you should start with the first book.
The narration was perfect. BJ Harrison is my favorite narrator.

The Cloud Kingdom
The Cloud Kingdom by Kristen Painter
Midlife Fairytale series #3. Paranormal women’s fiction. Best read in series order. Not yet a complete series.
Queen Sparrow has a goal of reuniting the Radiant fae with the Grym fae, but Queen Anyka thinks both kingdoms should be hers. Anyka thinks the answer is in the dark magic grimoire and she’ll do anything to get her hands on it.
War or peace?
🎧 I alternated reading between an ebook and audiobook. The audiobook is narrated by B J Harrison who does the full series. The voice is deep and varies per character as expected but with that, I had to increase the volume. I also listened to this narrator at 1.6 and could easily go higher. This speed at least matches my reading speed and regular conversation. There are specific voices for the two queens, the narrator voice, and characters that surround the scenes that make the whole entertaining. Emotions such as surprise and rage came through clearly. I enjoyed the audiobook version and highly recommend it for anyone that enjoys them.
Fascinating how two powerful women look at a situation from completely opposing sides and each had their own conclusion very different from the other. Two truths.
I’m not a fan of political manipulation and maneuvering but these two ruling Queens have the kingdoms and their lands and they must protect their people.
Definitely an adventure and advancing the storyline. Chilling cliffhanger of what’s to come.

A Riveting Fantasy You Won't Want to Miss
"This series just keeps getting better! Kristen Painter has done an incredible job weaving a story that’s full of magic, political intrigue, and two unforgettable queens. Queen Sparrow’s heart and dedication to uniting the Radiant and Grym fae shine through, even as she faces relentless challenges from the ambitious Queen Anyka. The stakes are higher than ever, especially with the addition of the mysterious Cloud Kingdom, and the suspense never lets up.
Each twist kept me on the edge of my seat, and I love watching the rivalry between these two powerful women unfold—Sparrow with her compassion and Anyka with her hunger for power. Painter’s storytelling is captivating, and her world-building pulls you in completely. If you’re not already hooked on this series, start now! Kristen Painter’s books are fantasy at its best."
