A review by cmdufresne
The Queen's Assassin by Melissa de la Cruz

3.0

.....I wouldn't say it was bad..... but I wouldn't say it was good either. To say there is a "plot twist" implies that it is not obvious from the first page.... and that there is a stronger plot. Characters are flat and yet inconsistent. Switching POV and between 1st and 3rd person causes weaknesses in the writing. It has potential, but kind of feels like someone read a bunch of fantasy books, pulled their favorite bits, and threw them together. And then didn't have an editor. Also, HATED the ending. Okay, maybe I am saying it was bad... but I finished it? And will probably read the next one in hopes of dramatic improvements.
