Almost everything about this story is like exept the love interrest and how quickly she is compleatly aliened with her adoptie father yet has never searched out her own father to get to know him. Which is regretfully a large part of the story.
Why do i not like the love interrest? Because this schoolgirl has a crush om her teacher and even though he has seen her grow up since a child of 10 he falls for her. Which is just kinda creepy sorry. Nothing realy inappropriate happens while she is his student the hole thing is kinda scetchy.
I do enjoy the depiction of the different countrys andd cultures. I enjoyed the hole helping the queen rise. So i am reservadly picking p the second book.

Finalmente ho finito questo libro!
Ammetto che all’inizio non mi stava piacendo per niente, mi sembrava un libro stupido e un po’ una copia di game of thrones. I personaggi erano irritanti e le descrizioni un po’ pesanti. Però verso metà libro ha iniziato a riprendersi ed è diventato più interessante. Mi è piaciuto il rapporto che si è andato ad instaurare tra i personaggi e l’idea di dare potere alle regine è la mia parte preferita. Poteva dare di più e se mai ci sarà un seguito, non sono sicura lo leggerò. Ma tutto sommato è una storia piacevole e abbastanza leggera.

Sadly, the first Rebecca Ross book I’ve picked up and was unimpressed by. It is a YA novel and definitely reads like it, but the writing IMO falls far short of her more recent YA work like Divine Rivals. I was wildly uncomfortable with the love interest in this story, as it was her teacher (!?), and the power dynamics/age difference gave me the ick for the rest of the book. It also feels incredibly inappropriate for a YA book. Otherwise, the story line was interesting though predictable. The audiobook narrator was not my favorite but tolerable.

I really enjoyed this book! The story, the revolution, and the rich history of the lands gave me the same vibes I’ve felt reading other beloved fantasy authors like Trudi Canavan. Some readers might find the pacing slow, but for me, the detailed history, relationship building, and immersive world-building were some of my favorite parts. It made the world feel alive and layered.
(Spoilers ahead!)
Brienna is a passion of knowledge, hidden away at a school to keep her safe from her biological father’s dark legacy. I loved that Rebecca Ross gave us a bookish heroine who grows into her courage and bravery, fighting to restore the throne to its rightful Queen. While I found certain parts of the plot predictable, I think that’s part of its charm — it felt like a comforting, cozy read while still offering moments of excitement and triumph.
I’m immediately diving into The Queen’s Resistance!
Absolutely loved this book. I liked the world, the characters and the story so much, I wish I could move in and live there.
Also, the actual book itself is gorgeous with a detailed and elegant dust jacket, a deep blue hardcover with silver lettering on the spine, and heavy weight rough cut pages.
I’m off to reread it.
