ajlf246 's review for:
The Queen's Secret
by Melissa de la Cruz
I felt like it was not AS great as the Queens Assassin, I felt there was a lot of sitting around, brooding, waiting, mooing, complaining. I kept waiting for Lilac to make a great escape and flee the castle, to sneak off, to create some grand scheme that demanded her to leave the castle… instead she sinks into pretending to be meek, helpless and weak to match the assumptive descriptions of the old commanding men around her l, not to mention her mother who abandoned her most of her life with her aunts and has had little to do with her. In the first book she is dating, wild, risky, Independent despite this patriarchal and royal system, but suddenly in this book she’s… helpless? Stuck in fate? I didn’t like the shift and I expected way more action. I didn’t hate it though, was just disappointed for the turn it took after how much I loved the first.
