A proposito di questo titolo
The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games. Ten women. A deadly contest. Only one can win the Sun King's heart.
Lor has endured twelve long years of torment under the Aurora King's rule. Her only desire is to get free and pay him back for every moment of misery she's endured.
When a surprise release finds her in the hands of the Sun King, Lor is thrust into the spotlight as she competes against nine other tributes for the role of queen. If she wins his heart, she'll earn her freedom and finally get her revenge.
But Lor doesn't belong in the Sun Queen trials. Not only does she not understand why she was freed, she isn't a citizen of the Sun King's court. The other tributes resent her presence and will stop at nothing to ensure Lor is wiped off the gameboard—permanently.
Now Lor must win because if she loses, she dies. Or worse, she'll be sent back into the hands of the Aurora King.
This glittering fae romance is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer Armentrout, and Raven Kennedy. Trial of the Sun Queen is the first book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series with an eventual happy ever after.

This must be the most unoriginal book I've read in a while. A mix of Acotar, The Selection, ToG, The Bachelor, HP and the Goblet of Fire, Divergent and the Hunger Games, to name a few.
That being said, the result is pleasant, if very predictable. The "big reveals" at the end of the book are pretty obvious by midway through, and I've heard many other people say the same.
It's well written and well paced, even if the dialogue can be a little cheesy at times. No characters except from the MFC are really fleshed out, and the world Building is very vague. I appreciate the fact that the FMC is 24 years old and not a teenager.
That being said, my biggest problem with this audiobook is the narrator for Lor (the protagonist). While she is excellent technically, the way she delivers Lor's thoughts and dialogue makes the protagonist appear as very, very, very whiny and insufferable, a true Pick Me. It took me out of the immersion and almost made me stop listening to it many times. I think this would have been a more enjoyable experience if I had read it instead of listened to it.
I'll give the second book in the series a chance in the hope the story will get better and more original, and the characters will be fleshed out more... The potential is there.
If you're looking for something entertaining and familiar (trope wise) to enjoy without thinking too hard, maybe to cleanse your palate between heavier reads, this is a good choice.
If you're looking for more, you will feel underwhelmed.
Not very original, but a fun ride. Didn't enjoy the narrator.
