Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte
4.0

Ooh this was a good read! It is a solid 4 stars!
This is a murder mystery set in a fantasy type world. There is no magic in this book though which I was hoping there would be. It has more sci-fi elements, but I'm not going to complain at all.

This book is told from several different characters perspectives, 6 to be exact, all women. So if you do not like that, you probably won't like this book. I found each perspective to be easy to grasp though and follow.

This is not a 5 star read for me. There is a romance, while I find cute, it feels thrown in and doesn't really do much for the plot. I would love a spin off following these characters. Also, this is a standalone novel, and some elements felt packed on or thrown in to achieve the standalone. For the most part, I feel the world building was very good for being a single novel though.

I do hope the author explores this world more in the future, because I really enjoyed it and loved the concepts around it. I definitely recommend this!
