A review by bequibuho
Palace of Lies by Margaret Peterson Haddix

3.0

Desmia has been trying to come to terms with her new life. She is now sharing the throne and responsibility with her 12 other sisters. When an attack on the palace separates the sister, Desmia must journey on to sign a peace treaty that will keep the rest of her kingdom safe.

This is the third book in the Palace Chronicles series. This time around we follow Desmia, who has ruled over the kingdom since she was a child. Desmia wasn’t my favorite character in this series. I found her to be extremely boring.

She has lived such a sheltered life within the palace. She is truly blind to what has been going on in her kingdom. When she travels with three other people to sign a peace treaty, I thought we would see some character growth.

But everything about this book felt so rushed and dragged out at the same time. I thought the journey was rushed through, the ending was just too perfect, and the romance appeared out of nowhere.

I am giving this book a C. While I enjoyed the read, it wasn’t my favorite in the series.
