The Queen’s Resistance Audiobook Summary

For fans of Red Queen and Grave Mercy comes the captivating sequel to the Renaissance France-inspired epic fantasy The Queen’s Rising.

Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is beginning to settle into her role as the daughter of the once disgraced lord, Davin MacQuinn. Though she’d just survived a revolution that will return a queen to the throne, she faces yet another challenge: acceptance by the MacQuinns.

But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest confidant, she’ll have to balance serving her father’s House as well as her country.

Then there’s Aodhan Morgan, formerly known as Cartier Evariste, who is adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in Valenia and his current one as lord of a fallen House. As he attempts to restore the Morgane name, he let his mind wander–what if he doesn’t have to raise his House alone? What if Brienna could stand by his side?

But Brienna and Cartier must put their feelings aside, as there are more vital tasks at hand–the Lannons’ trial, forging alliances, and ensuring that no one halts the queen’s coronation. Resistance is rumbling among the old regime’s supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the rebels’ forces.

And what makes one more vulnerable than love?

“I will be standing at the front, and if you feel afraid, I want you to look at me, and know that you are not alone.” At first I debated the necessity of writing a review for this book instead of simply writing that these books were going on my favorites list. Both these books are on my favorites list because of each other. Not that they aren't good enough individually but that they complemented each other so well. The first book introduced us to the world, as is the virtue of all first books, and started with a light-hearted story about a girl and her dreams to become a passion. Then the story twisted into a more complicated plot of restoring the rightful queen to the throne and displacing the cruel king. This book moves on to have a more complicated plot in terms of what must he achieved once the queen has been placed on the throne and to securing her position. Emotionally, this book is a roller coaster compared to the last one. Since the first book introduced us to the characters and have given us the start of their relationships, this one takes off with the bond between the characters being much stronger and with more meaning.A book like The Queen’s Rising could have been left as a standalone, given the ending, it would have left doubts on the fate of the traitors and their houses, but it wouldn’t have been too big of a crime to stop there. A sequel to such a book has the potential to disappoint but this book was anything but a disappointment. In fact I think it only gets better.The difficulties with securing Isolde’s position are accompanied by the difficulties of Brienna finding her place in the MacQuinn court with citizens who view her as an Allenach and Aodhan rebuilding the Morgane court which has turned to ruins. Tensions run high as the supporters of the Lannon rule are yet to be fully unearthed and no one knows if their court is fully secure.Isolde starts her rule by allowing the citizens to decide the fate of the prisoners by trial.Aodhan, formerly known as Cartier, also has a perspective in this book which allows us a broader view of the world when the characters are in different places, giving us different opinions on the same situation. In the first book, the Maevan houses were named and we saw a few members but in this book we get to watch first hand the functioning of the court, the citizens, and the stories of the lords and ladies of Maevana during the war and after it.There is definitely more depth to this book than the last one because the need to introduce the readers all the new aspects of the world is minimized. We dive head first into the new plot which reminds us that running a country after a revolution might be harder than the revolution itself.The characters are put in more demanding situations both mentally and physically. They will have to make choices that will test loyalties between houses. The book itself feels more severe than the first one and the therefore the we see a side of the characters we may not have seen or had to have understood before the events that unfurl in this book. Since we now have Cartier’s perspective we see a lot more about his past, his family, the struggles faced by the Morgane house, and we also see the burden he carries on his shoulders to make the best decisions for his house and the people he cares about.In both books I loved the portrayal of the traditional relationship of Maevan men and women, being that the women were capable fighters to protect themselves, the mutual respect between men and women, how the men accepted the matriarchy, and the simple ideology that any Maevan will kill if it means it will protect their family from a threat.If you read the first book and liked it don't hesitate to read this one, it only gets better.

ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.1.) The Queen's Rising ★★★★ “Crowning Isolde Kavanagh as the rightful queen was not the end of our rising. It was merely the beginning.” The Queen’s Resistance is book two in Rebecca Ross’s debut series, which I think is so underhyped and so underappreciated! Seriously, friends, stop sleeping on this series. Because this is exactly the kind of YA fantasy that I’m always on the hunt for; amazing friendships, swoon-worthy romances, medieval setting, unique magic systems, and women coming into their power and embracing what has been taken from them by men who fear that power. The Queen's Rising focused on our main character, Brienna, at a school that helps young girls hone sought after specializations. And after graduating in one of these sought-after trades (art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge) you will work under a patron doing a vast array of different things with your skill set. But Brienna was sent to this boarding school so that she could go into hiding, because the blood that runs through her veins has made her quite the threat to the throne, and the world. I honestly feel like I can’t say too much about The Queen’s Resistance, because it picks up very soon after the end events of The Queen's Rising, and a lot of things went down. But I will say that Brienna is still very sought-after, but now she has a very strong found family that helps protect her, regardless of what her last name is. And even though the revolution is over, the rebuilding has just begun, and Brienna, and her family want to build something worthy of a legacy. “If you were a storm, I would lie down and rest in your rain. If you were a river, I would drink from your currents. If you were a poem, I would never cease to read you.” Cartier also gets his own point of view in this book, and his journey is also not an easy one because of his bloodline. But regardless of the bad things that have happened in his past, he always shows empathy and consideration in every situation. Seeing him and Brienna grow, and grow together, is so beautiful, and their strength and compassion really knows no bounds. Found family is for sure the shining light of this beautiful tale, but this is also a book about becoming the person you want to be, regardless of the evil acts people have committed with the same last name as you. And this is a story about rising up, and being what you dream of being, not who people expect you to be on account of a last name that you never asked to have. “Is it only blood that makes a House? Or is it beliefs? What holds people together more? The red in their veins or the fire in their hearts?” Overall, I can’t wait to see what comes next in this world. I just fell so in love with these characters, and I want to protect them at all costs. Rebecca Ross’s writing is so lyrical and beautiful, and I really have become so attached to this entire world she has created. Again, this series is so underhyped, and this author has really blown me and my expectations away with this debut series.

♦ Video Review ♦The Queen's Resistance was an amazing sequel to a first book that I already loved. This second book only solidified my love for this series.This is also a hugely underrated series that much more people need to pick up. “I love the spirit you are forged from. If you were a storm, I would lie down and rest in your rain. If you were a river, I would drink from your currents. If you were a poem, I would never cease to read you.” I feel like I'm not even gonna have that much to say about The Queen's Resistance. It picked up directly after the end of The Queen's Rising and I felt like it really followed the themes of the first book. So everything I said in my review for that definitely still stands for this sequel as well.I do think that you could tell that, after her amazing debut, Rebecca Ross improved her writing even more. I loved how she referenced the events of the first book and it was surprisingly easy to get back into the story, thanks to her giving us small recaps throughout the first couple of chapters. It was very cleverly done.One of my favourite things about this story is still just how simplistic it is. There's no big focus on any drama or tropes, Rebecca Ross doesn't need to rely on any of that to keep you engaged. And while I love some good angst and tropes, it is so refreshing to read a book where it really seems like there is no need for that.And it's so interesting because at the same time, this book is full of surprising twists and shocking revelations. Somehow Rebecca Ross really managed to pull that off.I also really love the world and all of the politics within it. I can't wait to explore this even more in the sequel and I really hope that even after this trilogy, we will return to this world cause I think it has so much potential! “Is it only blood that makes a House? Or is it beliefs? What holds people together more? The red in their veins or the fire in their hearts?” But the best thing about this series is all of the characters and their relationships. The found family theme still runs strong throughout this book and it is so beautiful. There were so many moments related to family that really made me tear up.As someone who truly loves romance, I almost think that there's not enough in this book. I really love the relationship between Brienna and Cartier and so I wish that we had seen more of them together in romantic moments. At the same time, everything we did get was wonderful and beautiful and I know that a lot of people will be very satisfied with the way the romance is handled.What really makes this novel stand out in comparison to the first book, is some of the darker themes and topics that were included. I don't really wanna go into any detail but it really felt like Rebecca Ross was ready to go a big step further than she did in The Queen's Rising and I think it worked incredibly well and was handled with care. That said, it does deal with some really hard and heavy topics. Content and trigger warnings for torture, (child) abuse, violence, slavery and sex trafficking. “She gave me her breath as I gave her mine, until my heart was beating in her hands, until I felt like she had swallowed all of my secrets.” Overall, The Queen's Resistance is an amazing sequel, that builds on the basis that the first book has provided, while adding some really interesting new themes. This book has me incredibly excited for what's to come in this series, this world and more by Rebecca Ross.♦ Booktube Channel ♦ Twitter ♦ Instagram ♦✨ Buddy read with Melanie at meltotheany ✨I received an ARC of this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review!

No qualms about it, this is such an enjoyable and fulfilling fantasy duology. It’s one of my favorites and I love the path it takes its readers down.The Queen’s Resistance picks up shortly after the first book, and the people of Maevana are figuring out how to piece their country back together after returning the rightful queen to her throne.Although I missed some of the swoony romance aspects of the first book, when Brienna and Cartier are in the initial stages of their relationship, I appreciated even more the team they are in this one and the earnestness between them.This sequel definitely brings in more of the politics of the aftermath of a revolution and I greatly enjoyed the intrigue in weeding out dissenters and learning more about the houses of Maevana and their people. There are quite a few intriguing twists and the action kept the story moving forward with a consistent pace. Furthermore, it continues to build upon the theme of forging a family of your own making, not necessarily one based on blood. I found this message to be one of the most powerful aspects of the story.Really love this one though. It’s a solid and easy to love fantasy with all of the expected and well loved elements of the genre, with some intriguing qualities that make it a little different as well. Highly recommend!

OH MY GODNESS.. MY HEARTI´M SHOCKEEED!!!Hace como un año leí el primer libro y realmente no me acordaba de nada, ese libro me gustó bastante y sentía que no hacía falta una continuación pero que EQUIVOCADA estaba, sí que la necesitaba.Este libro si ha sido mucho mejor que el anterior, el ritmo es más fluido, la narración, el arco de los personajes y la profundidad y sobre todo la transmisión de los sentimientos.Como dije antes no recordaba casi nada del primer libro pero el capítulo uno es un recap que te hace recordar los personajes y los sucesos importantes y eso es un punto a favor de la autora porque pocos lo hacen. Comienza tiempo después de la rebelión de la reina y de haber derrocado al rey, ahora lo que quieren es restaurar el reino, erradicar los grupos simpatizantes del antiguo reinado y hacer justicia.Tiene un largo camino por delante, nuevos obstáculos y personas que les harán el camino difícil. Villanos más crueles y despiadados.En cada capítulo se revelan cosas que no veías venir que me dejaban I M P A C T A D A, cada vez se ponía mejor y sus finales eran infartantes, te mantenían en la lectura, era imposible dejarte con la duda y no saber que pasaba después. PERSONAJES BRIENNA ella es nuestra protagonista, una chica que en el libro anterior empezó a descubrir su don y de paso su origen que ayudó a la reina a encontrar la gema de la media noche y así poder recuperar sus poderes.Me encantó que ella no fuera la #todapoderosa pero con su inteligencia, valentía tenía más que suficiente, es una chica aguerrida, astuta que no se deja vencer ante nadie. Ahora está descubriendo quien es y a donde pertenece quiere que la aprobación de su nueva casa adoptiva pero se siente despreciada por la sangre que lleva en la venas. CARTIER Ahora conocido como Aodham, saben que fue mi personaje favorito del libro anterior y lo sigue siendo y que el libro también estuviera narrado por me dio VIDA y un plus a la historia. Lo conocemos a más profundidad sus ambiciones, su amor, su dolor y sufrimiento por lo que le pasó a su familia. Este libro es para él para que suframos y nos rompa el corazón, de todos los personajes es el que más sufrió y el que más merecía ser feliz. Si algo le faltó fueron más frases como éstas. 👇🏼 —Amo el corazón que posees —dijo Cartier, sonriendo mientras las lágrimas caían de sus ojos—. Amo el espíritu que te ha forjado, Brienna MacQuinn. Si fueras una tormenta, me recostaría y descansaría bajo tu lluvia. Si necesité más amor y escenas románticas pero las que tuvo me dejaron toda derretida porque Cartier es demasiado bello.El libro me encantó y siento que con un epílogo hubiera estado EXCELENTE y cerrado con broche de oro, aunque me dejó bastante satisfecha.

Reseña completa -> https://thewordsofbooks.blogspot.com/...MARAVILLOSO, EXCEPCIONAL, ÉPICO. Un gran final para esta bilogía. Eso si, he sufrido de lo lindo en ciertos momentos, pero he amado mucho a los personajes y como la autora ha sabido llevar la historia.Gran final y grandes personajes, que se quedan conmigo :D

I loved this book and this series, but if I’m being honest, I wish that it had been longer. It could’ve been easily a 5/6 book series. There was so much world building and magic and politics built into it that it seems a shame that it were only used in two instalments. ...or maybe I’m just sad that it’s over. I loved Brienna and Cartier and Ewan and Keela and and and ...I just love found families in books. This was such a sweet, wholesome and addicting series. Yet again, I’m sitting here, waiting for Rebecca Ross’ next venture. Ahhh!

This was my most anticipated release of 2019! After flying through the first novel I had to see what happened next I was ADDICTED to Rebecca’s writing style! And surprise, surprise... I love her writing in this too! It is just as mesmerising and enchanting as the first novels style and I flew through this one as wel. The first novel could of been left as a stand-alone, but if you liked The Queens Rising please do NOT hesitate to pick up The Queens Resistance the plot only gets better! 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Qué pena terminar una historia que me ha gustado tanto, el primero lo leí porque era fantasía épica y por su portada, y acerté completamente. Esta segunda y última parte ha sido incluso mejor, me ha llegado a enganchar desde casi el principio, en el principio no porque era un recordatorio de hechos del anterior, y menos mal porque no recordaba ni la mitad. Pero en general me ha encantado, tanto los personajes, su fortaleza y determinación y sin duda la parte de política ha sido maravillosa. En serio tenéis que darle una oportunidad, es fantástica esta bilogía.

5/5“¿Es solo la sangre lo que hace a una Casa? ¿O son sus creencias? ¿Qué une más a las personas? ¿El rojo en sus venas o el fuego en sus corazones?.”La resistencia de la reina es una secuela maravillosa, muy a la altura del primer libro y un cierre impecable a la historia de Brienna y Carter. Para mi ha sido un libro perfecto y no puedo más que recomendarselo a todo el mundo.-Reseña completa: http://addicionaloslibros.blogspot.co...

Brienna es ama del conocimiento y comienza a familiarizarse con su rol de hija del lord caído en desgracia, Davin MacQuinn. Aunque acaba de sobrevivir a una revolución que devolverá a la reina al trono, aún debe enfrentar otro desafío: la aceptación de los MacQuinn. Por ser la confidente más cercana de la reina Isolde Kavanagh, tendrá que hallar el equilibrio entre servirle a la Casa de su padre y servir a su país. También está Aodhan Morgan, anteriormente conocido como Cartier Évariste, quien está acostumbrándose al marcado contraste entre su vida en Valenia previa a la rebelión y su vida actual como lord de una Casa caída. Mientras intenta recuperar el nombre de la casa Morgane, permite que su mente divague… ¿Y si no tiene que alzar su Casa solo? ¿Y si Brienna pudiera estar a su lado? Pero Brienna y Cartier deben dejar a un lado sus sentimientos porque hay asuntos más apremiantes con los que lidiar: el juicio de los Lannon, la creación de alianzas y garantizar que nadie evite la coronación de la reina. Hay rumores de Resistencia entre quienes apoyaban el Viejo régimen, que están desesperados por hallar un punto débil en las fuerzas rebeldes. ¿Y… hay vulnerabilidad más grande que la que genera el amor?Sabes que estás ante un libro muy especial cuando te pones delante del ordenador, abres una nueva pestaña en el blog para hacer una reseña y no sabes muy bien cómo empezar y qué palabras poner para convencer a las personas que te están leyendo en este momento que DEBEN leerse estos libros. La resistencia de la reina es la conclusión de la bilogía que comenzó hace poco más de un año en España con La rebelión de la reina, un libro que ya tenía fichado y que me moría de ganas por leer. En cuanto lo tuve entre mis manos, me sorprendió gratamente su historia: fantasía, donde la magia tiene su papel, donde un trágico pasado hizo que las casas de un reino fueran masacradas y perseguidas, olvidadas, mientras otras se levantaban con más poder que nunca para instaurar un reinado de miedo que, aquellos y aquellas que quedaban de esas casas asesinadas, están ansiosos por destruir. El regreso de una reina legítima dispuesta a recuperar lo suyo. Me encantó todo de esa primera parte, un libro que, debo reconocer, terminó un tanto extraño para mi gusto. Ese final me dejó con muchas dudas: ¿y ahora qué va a pasar? ¿Qué asuntos se van a tratar el que está por venir? Comencé esta conclusión sin saber muy bien hacia donde tiraría la historia, preguntándome si había argumento suficiente para narrar otro libro. Y sí, la había. No sabéis todo lo que la autora ha puesto en esta segunda parte.Algo que tengo muy claro qué decir es que La rebelión de la reina se ha convertido en una de mis bilogías preferidas, y la culpa la tiene este libro, La resistencia de la reina. Como digo, leí el primer libro y me gustó mucho, pero ha sido aquí cuando realmente he conectado con todo, cuando he sentido, cuando he casi llorado y suplicado, al terminarlo, mucho más. Más de Brienna, más de este mundo, de esta historia. No tengo esperanzas en que la autora quiera, en un futuro, regresar aquí. Pero ojalá. Al igual que pasó con La rebelión de la reina, esta continuación vuelve a tener cuatro partes bien diferenciadas que dividen el libro en distintos momentos y sucesos, teniendo como novedad una nueva narración y/o punto de vista; el de Cartier. A través de sus ojos y los de Brienna, que vuelve a ser la protagonista de todo lo que está por venir, se crea un libro en el que estaremos moviéndonos de un lado a otro, lo que ha hecho, sin dudarlo, que la lectura fuera muy fluida, entretenida y emocionante. Las primeras setenta páginas son las más lentas que va a tener la historia, unos capítulos que retoman, de manera muy acertada y con mucha gratitud, los últimos acontecimientos del libro anterior, sirviendo como recordatorio para que, aquellos y aquellas como yo que perdemos muchos detalles, volvamos a situarnos en la historia sin tener la oportunidad de perdernos. Es así como esta primera parte de las cuatro en las que está dividido el libro se va a desarrollar, recreando de nuevo esa batalla final, sus consecuencias, incluso viajando más al pasado, recordando lo que hizo Brienna para llegar hasta donde se encuentra actualmente. Tras esta bienvenida, explota todo lo demás. Me ha sido imposible despegarme de las páginas de este libro. No podía, siendo testigo y estando presente en el montón de cosas inesperadas que van a ocurrir. Porque menudo huracán. Yo que iba hacia este libro sin tener idea de qué me iba a encontrar y, por los dioses, me he quedado más y más enganchada y más y más flipando a medida que he sido partícipe de todo lo que se va abrir, de los giros tan dramáticos que vamos a vivir, un sufrimiento que hacía tiempo no sentía. Es hora de restaurar la historia verdadera, de devolverle el trono a la reina, pero es que llegar hasta ahí va a ser un camino muy turbio, complicado y plagado de mil peligros.Cuando la historia arranca, con sus complicaciones, sus momentos menos tensos, no hay manera de frenar eso. Y, si bien la primera parte servía como telón de fondo para recordarnos y orientarnos de nuevo en la ambientación y en lo que ya ha ocurrido, a partir de la segunda parte todo va a ser un sin vivir constante, una sucesión de eventos que no te van a dejar respirar ni un solo segundo. Actos que ya dejan entrever que eso no ha hecho más que comenzar, que todavía queda mucho que averiguar, algunos siendo tan impactantes e inesperados que se van a convertir en piezas inesperadas de un rompecabezas que no va a parar de dejarte con la boca abierta. No sé aún cómo he sido capaz de sobrevivir a tal montaña rusa de sentimientos. Porque puede que estos libros sean, comparados con otros, más sencillos. Pero es que Rebecca Ross juega de una manera tan única, especial e impecable con el lector que, de verdad, te vas a quedar anonadado con todo lo que va a poner en marcha, con cada as de la manga que se va a sacar sin ningún remordimiento. Es una lectura alucinante, plagada de momentos inolvidables, hechos para las risas, para la tristeza, para unirte y empatizar más con los personajes, para preocuparte, sufrir, llorar, robarte el aliento. Un ritmo vertiginoso que nos adentrará más en todo un complot que no esperabas, una estrategia deslumbrante, una misión de vida o muerte, en la que cualquier paso en falso puede desbaratar todo el trabajo que se ha hecho durante años. La aparición de nuevos personajes han dado más dinamismo si cabe, más jugadas a las que engancharse sin remedio, una sinfonía de descubrimientos, nuevos secretos, sorpresas, más historia que contar, de escenas en las que parece que ya está todo bien para luego, ZASCA, suceder un cambio de aires que lo vuelve a complicar todo para hacer de este libro un vicio imposible de dejar; Donde la tercera parte del libro vuelve a recuperar la acción, las persecuciones, las carreras a contrarreloj. Las batallas a campo abierto, los enfrentamientos entre rivales, guiándote hacia una cuarta parte donde parece que, al fin, todo va a estar en paz, solo para volver a cogerte desprevenido y darte más y más, sin parar, hasta un final inolvidable, perfecto y que te deja con un nudo en la garganta porque no quieres despedirte de todo esto.Me es difícil explicar todo lo que he resaltado de esta segunda parte, lo que me ha fidelizado a este mundo y a estos libros. Pero lo voy a intentar. Creo que lo que más destaco de todo el batiburrillo de elementos a elegir es, sin dudarlo, el sentimiento de pertenencia que me ha dado la lectura. Como digo, el primer libro me gustó por la manera de exponer una cultura propia de un reino devastado, conociendo poco a poco su pasado. Pero creo que la autora se centró más en elaborar y cocer poco a poco eso más que tejer a la lectora o al lector dentro de esta vida. En La resistencia de la reina sientes realmente que perteneces a este reino de Maevana, el de la amabilidad, la compasión, el amor. Me he sentido muy unida a cada una de las Casas en las que se divide este pedazo de terreno, descubriendo ritos, costumbres o tradiciones geniales, adentrándome en una familia enorme que me ha acogido con los brazos abierto y con mucha humildad. Supongo que eso es lo que ha ocasionado que, al final, me haya quedado triste, por tener que decirle adiós a todo, un universo que me ha enamorado y fascinado completamente. Gran parte de este logro lo tienen sus personajes, otras de las cosas que hay que mencionar como muy positivo sí o sí. Desde el comienzo, los personajes han estado muy bien perfilados, muy presentes, muy visibles y cercanos. Y aquí seguimos avanzando a través de ellos. Brienna es una delicia como personaje. Su carácter, su rabia, su rebeldía. Su manera de ser fiel a sí misma, a sus principios. De ser inteligente, de ser respetada, de demostrar su fuerza y valentía. Y Cartier, la otra cara de la moneda, también ha sabido engatusarme. Su delicadeza, su respeto hacia Brienna, la manera ne la que la observa, le deja espacio, la admira. La relación que hay entre ambos es dulce, asombrosa, sana, de esas que te hacen suspirar, que te dejan con ganas de más. Capaz de acoger tu corazón. Y no son los únicos que van a hablar. En esta segunda parte, muchos de los personajes que hablaron en el primer libro van a callarse para dejar hablar a otros que se habían quedado rezagados, incluso aquellos que llegan nuevos. Y es que cada interacción, cada conversación y cada unión ha sido tan genial... La compenetración que hay entre Isolde y Brienna: fascinante. La trama de los Lannon: dinamita pura. La profundización en los lores: mágica. Todo concuerda tan, pero tan bien, que es imposible darles la espalda a cada uno de ellos.En resumen, La resistencia de la reina es el mejor final que podría haber tenido esta historia. Desgarradora, peligrosa y sorprendente, pero también asombrosa, magnética y poderosa, es una lectura inolvidable que te llevará por un sin fin de situaciones donde reirás o llorarás, uno de los libros que más me han emocionado y enganchado de los últimos meses.
