About this listen

In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia's life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight - but she doesn't - and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom - to a prince she has never met.

On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - even as she finds herself falling in love. The Kiss of Deceptionis the first audiobook in Mary E. Pearson's Remnant Chronicles

Loved this, so exciting! Probably best execution of a love triangle I've ever read - they're normally a bit annoying but I really enjoyed this one and honestly I like both Rafe and Kaden! Can't find anything bad to say about this awesome book.

So good!

Great narration. Mildly entertaining book. Good twist. Might read the next, not sure yet.

Very low stakes, low action, low fantasy

This is a wonderful book and the narration is remarkable. A truly captivating, beautifully crafted story with deep, complex characters. Thoroughly enjoyable to listen over and over again. #teamKaden

Wonderful!

This is a cute book, however I hadn't realised for how young of an audience it was for. It reads like it's meant for 12 year olds. And at that, it was great at. A little bit longer than I would have liked, but it keeps you interested. I finished it in 3 days.
Maybe I will pick up the rest of the series, but not anytime soon.

cute

I found the two female voices and the two male voices to be too similar to each other to be able to easily identify who I was listening to. Pauline doesn't speak much in the book as it's mostly from Lia's point of view, so it wasn't really an issue most of the time. However the Assassin and the Princes voices were just to similar, to the extent i some times had to rewind to find out who's story was identified in the chapter title. Took from the performances in my opinion.

Voices too similar

This book is told from several different points of view, with a different narrator for each character which helps to follow the story as it's easy to get confused about who is who. I enjoyed the story overall, it was different to most of the other YA fantasy I have read as it was more heavily focused on the characters relationships and development, less on the fantastical elements of the world it is set in. The protagonist, Lia, starts off as a willful, reckless teenager, but over the course of the book she grows and matures into a strong and independent, admirable young woman. Her character development is done beautifully, and the relationships between her and the other characters, such as Pauline, also develop naturally and realistically over time. The narrators were excellent, they really brought the story to life and gave the romantic or action scenes the right tone. I will definitely listen to the sequels, hopefully there will be more about the world and history in the next book as that is what I felt was missing from this one.

A mixture of romance and fantasy
