It was the epitome of mid
Not bad but not all that
I liked the concept but the plot twists just didn’t shock me. I guessed them all long before they were revealed which sucked. A major thing for me is being blindsided during plot twists and I guess all if them so 🤷‍♀️

actually I guess I didn’t guess the whole mind control chip thingy. But I was a little unimpressed with that one I was like “oh…..okay sure” like I feel like it could’ve been a good plot twist but it wasn’t written in a good enough way to be even mildly shocking

Also romance wasn’t all that. I was excited for it but it was mid so I was pretty disappointed
I liked what she did with the switching povs and the timeline tho. The queens pov were really boring at first but then when they started dropping info and tea I got a little intrigued

One of those popular, well-reviewed books where I feel like I must be missing something. An interesting story let down by the writing.

Fun little fantasy whodunnit, Quandra gives off classic fantasy map vibes with its districts (Hunger games/ Avatar the last air bender) can’t say I was super surprised with who the culprit was, but there were some other twists that were pretty good. Overall, nice little read.

4,5/5
This book was so damn good!!!
Some little things had me frowned but in general it was really good.
First I am so happy that it is a standalone! I'm so happy I don't have to wait way too long on a tragic ending.
Then, the author's writing was super cool. I love how she tells us the story, and I was surprised more than once!
Oh and having a protagonist who'se far away from being perfect was super refreshing!!!
So yeah, a really good read!

This book was so good and the twist was so well done. I can usually guess a twist before it happens but I was not able to with this. The resolution was kind of boring, however contained what I always wish for at the end of other books.

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

For some reason I thought this was fantasy, but nope. Sci-fi dystopia. Basically a long time ago, the husbands of four queens died, and the queens were not thrilled with how things turned out. So they enacted the Queenly Laws, which ensured a queen could never have a relationship and was stuck inside the castle. And it worked great!...for them. Unfortunately,trapped, the queens are trapped and someone is/has/will killing/killed/kill It'sm.

Its ride,ld riI really really appreciated the twists and turns.
