This book was SO MUCH FUN, oh my gosh. I haven't read any regency romance books before, so this was a bit out of my usual reading comfort zone. I'm so happy I requested this ARC. It was enjoyable from start to finish! The characters were all fantastic and funny and they felt like real people with things motivating their choices and feelings. The main character Lyra/Ela was 10/10. She's sassy, smart, and so motivated by her revenge plans it's inspiring. I want to be just like her when I grow up. And the love interest!!! I love Kes. I would be distracted by him too ngl.
Literally the only thing I disliked about this book was that Ela was only gone for 3 years before coming back, and the only difference in her appearance was that she went through puberty and grew out/dyed her hair? I dunno, I've recognized childhood friends that I haven't seen in nearly 10 years before, so that just felt too unrealistic to me. Buuuuuut I enjoyed the rest of it so much that that was a very small issue.
Anyway, thank you to Joy Revolution and NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC of Queen Bee. I highly recommend picking up this book when it is officially released.
