I enjoyed this book and while it was the first I've ready by Suzanne Enoch, it will not be the last.
I thought the characters were developed well and the relationship that developed between Aden and Miranda was one that kept me turning the pages. The villain of this story made things interesting and I loved that no matter how things were destined to turn out for Aden and Miranda, Aden wasn't willing to abandon her.
I look forward to the next book in this series and will be going back to check out book one as well! If you're looking for a historical romance that has an interesting story, solid characters, and some swoony romance, this is one you should be picking up.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 stars.
When I read the summary of Nameless Queen by Rebecca McLaughlin I was immediately intrigued. Unfortunately, once I got a few chapters in, I'll admit I was a bit underwhelmed.
The beginning of the book grabbed my attention but as the story moved forward, I wasn't able to connect with the characters, especially Coin. She was solidly developed but there was just something about her that didn't hit home with me and without that connection to the character, I couldn't get invested in her story.
The story itself and the world was an interesting one. A class of people without names that are not acknowledged by the kingdom and the twist when someone in that class is "named" as the next queen throws the kingdom into a spin. Add to that, a character out to gain power and control...and willing to do whatever it takes to get it and you have a story that will grab your attention. There are some twists to the story that while not surprising, tied it all together.
I honestly believe this is a case of "it's not you, it's me" and if you enjoy fantasy books that have a focus on class divides, you may want to check this one out.
