Thank you SOURCEBOOKS and NetGalley for the e-arc of Queen of Myth and Monsters by Scarlett St. Clair.
Scarlett St. Claire bring us back to Adrian and Isolde's story with higher stakes, more steamy romance, and enough heartbreak to go around. What I found the most important aspect of the book is the development of Adrian and Isolde's relationship. It has changed from the first book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading their struggle for happiness. St. Claire provides keen insight into the happenings of marriage when it isn't just about passion. Adrian and Isolde are really getting to know each other and how their new roles and trials they face will test the limits of their love.
Isolde is smart and owns how attractive she is. I felt inspired by her intuition and strong mindset to not just accept the choices being made for her. As a woman, it is important to read about other women who do not conform to their new realities and instead choose to shape it their way. She is queen becoming in more ways than one.
It isn't a St.Claire book without the romance and there is plenty of that to be found. To be honest, I almost felt annoyed by the sexier scenese as it felt as though Adrian and Isolde would just avoid their feelings and be physical instead. As I mentioned before, they are still discovering what being married and ruling a kingdom is like together.
There is a lot to discover in this book. The book is the bridge between the first and third book so it is full of new information, side-character highlights, and betrayal that comes at you with an intense force.

This book was sooo hard to finish. the plot barely progressed from the first book and was frankly boring. I skimmed the last 100 pages because I just needed to get it over with. The MMC and FMC have the same unreso ved issues as they did in the first book. The betrayals were predictable and mid.. I wanted to love this series because of the diverse characters but I don't and I don't plan on reading the next book.
I regret to inform anyone reading this that while I loved the spice, I truly did not care about this book. Not the characters, nor the plot, and definitely not the for-shock-value insert-trauma-here.
In this book’s defense, I didn’t have it at the appropriate speed and was really bored for a long time because it wasn’t going fast enough.

I wanted so much more from this story, but it just didn't deliver. The plot was choppy and it seemed like our main characters just spent all their time f*cking and fighting. I hoped for more after the first book was so good.
I hoped for more from this book. While there were a couple plot twists, they weren’t as explosive or mind-blowing as I feel they could have been. The majority of the book was Adrian upsetting Isolde, Isolde being a bit whiny, make up sex, then repeat. I had hoped for so much from this story, and the tale seems to have been plotted out to have some major points, but the sex was over-done and the action was under-developed. Even the ending, which should be a cliffhanger, didn’t read as one

I guess I don’t know what I was expecting with book two, I rated book one the same but still had high hopes for this one.
The fighting between the main characters is so exhausting. They both were extremely one dimensional and at no point was I rooting for them, I was actively rooting for anyone else.
That being said, I couldn’t put the book down. It’s like a car crash where you can’t look away, and reading the author’s note after where she says it’s written in four weeks…yeah babe we can tell.
I don’t know if I’ll continue with the story, I probably will because I’ve come this far already, but I’m not so eager for it to come out and I hope it actually takes a bit longer so it’s good?

This is a nope for me. 96% and I had to DNF. I was so incredibly bored.
