Queenslayer by Sebastien de Castell

3.0

The first book in this series I really enjoyed but as I read each book the plots are getting more and more predictable. I felt like Kellen never really gets punished for the things he does; for example, when Kellen murders Koresh and Arrasia there's no real consequences. Saying that, I did enjoy some parts of the book so I am giving it 2.75/5 round up to 3.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes, but this one really didn't do it for me. I expected a fun ride like the other four, but that didn't seem to be what this book was interested in. And at first that was alright, not every book needs to be a daring adventure, but the plot felt like worrying a sore tooth with your tongue for ten hours. I saw it through hoping that by the end this would all be justified by a late-game turn, but for me none of that really played out.

I've read reviews of the next book saying that there's a similar feeling for those who were unsatisfied with this one, so unfortunately I'll be leaving that one unread for the foreseeable future. I'm very sad, because finishing these two books was something I was pretty excited about. Ah well, thankful for four books I thoroughly enjoyed.

I am really liking this series a lot.
Pick this up if u need a good light hearted (kind of) YA Fantasy.
I love the plot and the way with the author is deciding to go forward.
I do wish the author took some risks and ended his books on cliffhangers and trusted the readers.
The MC kellan needs to develop hes repeating some same things from book 1 and his relationship with sister while an interesting one needs to develop.
I cant wait to read the last instalment.
