5.0
I am really glad the quality went again high. Loved IT. After weaker fourth book, the fifth one was again funny, dangerous and interesting. Even though full of new characters and a lot of intrigues, especially the second half is quite drastical, much more when compared to previous books in the series.

Definitely the most complex book in the series so far, QUEENSLAYER continues Kellen’s adventures as he continues to confront who and what he is, all while getting wrapped up in political machinations where no one can be trusted.
As always, I loved this book. Kellen continues to be a flawed character who is neither too good or too evil. He makes difficult and selfish choices as readily as honest ones. I really enjoyed his arc in this story and am wondering how it will round out.
New side characters were introduced, and each one brought in a new layer of tension when it became clear that no one could be trusted.
Despite this being a more political heavy book, there were a great deal of stakes and twists. I never knew what was going to happen until the very end.
I’m deeply invested in this series and can’t wait for the explosive conclusion!

Typical twists and turns. Some really harrowing scenes in this one. Can't wait for the last in the series!

I liked it more than I thought I will. I can't believe it was the 5th book in the series, now there is only 1 book left to read to finish this awesome series.
Now about the book itself. It was the most political one so far in the series, might drag the enjoyment for some people, didn't affect me much. A lot of different characters with their own motives and goals. Had little difficulty to keep up them. Kellen and Reichis had to go through a lot, I wanted to go into the book and hug them. Plot twists kept my interest at high levels, wanted to know more and more. I still have one question about something, hoping to get answers in the next book about it.
Before I end this review, let's take a moment to acknowledge how unlucky Kellen is. Can relate.
Quick summary about the book - political with bunch of characters (not that much, but felt more than before), with intrigues, plotting and schemes in royal court.
5 books down, 1 more to go. I don't want to say goodbye to this series of books, its characters and world ;-;
