A review by chloe_fantasy
The Scorpion Queen by Mina Fears
4.0
Thank you NetGalley for the arc and chance to review.
3.5 stars (I wish Goodreads allowed us to leave 1/2 stars)
This book starts out a bit slow, but the second half has a suspenseful life or death situation that puts you on the edge of your seat, it’s full of death, fighting, magic and the realisation that maybe those you thought you could trust you can’t and those that you don’t are actually the ones that you can.
The FMC was a bit annoying at times, especially at the start when she was all doom and gloom. I loved her growth with Jeneba and Penda, as well as her relationship with her sister that we see grows by the end.
The ending was a bit abrupt, I know it’s setting up for a series but I was hoping for a bit more of a conclusion.
I love the worldbuilding and the concept of the gods, sorcerers, magical maps and a deadly suitor competition.
