Synopsis: Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There’s also the alarming issue of whether or not her sisters are actually dead—or if they’re waiting in the wings to usurp the throne.
Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn.
Jules, too, is in a strange place—in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can’t imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine’s doorstep.
This is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed—or expected.
Review: Holy crap this book was INTENSE! I felt like I was on a roller coaster the whole time! I loved every moment of this book and I’m definitely rooting for all of the girls for different reasons. I felt that the world building continued to be amazing, the writing was as satisfying as always, and the character development was amazing. I’m anxious for the last book in this series!
However, I did feel that the pacing was, again, a little slow for me but it was greatly improved from the last book!
Verdict: Definitely recommend this series!
