Reign Audiobook by Bethan Croome— narrated by Jialing Pan
Reign, Bethan Croome's romantasy debut, sends a banned witch into her king's war disguised as a man, and the disguise turns into the engine for two men falling for a soldier who doesn't exist. It's a fast, blood-and-sparks read where the back half lands harder than the setup promises.
Why the audiobook wins
Jialing Pan narrates a romantasy debut that moves like someone trying to outrun a rumor: quick, tense, and rarely still. The prose is clean and uncomplicated, and a woman passing as her brother in the king's army keeps the tension tight.
The pace is brisk, with frequent graphic battle scenes and monsters that have real weight. The romance splits between a prince sworn to hunt what she hides and a camp friend who sees her clearly, built on tension more than heat. The middle slows before the back half hits, and the ending sets up a sequel.
A good fit for fans of slow-burn payoffs. One Audible credit covers the whole book.
