<strong>History and mythology and a dang good story</strong>
There had better be a sequel to this.
Not that this didn't end perfectly satisfactorily. Not that this was a cliffhanger, mostly. Because it wasn't. Mostly.
But good grief do I love these characters. And my brain is tickling with Egyptian history right now but I don't remember precisely which queen that was. Or if it was mythology and the internet is not being particularly helpful for looking it up. But this is going to bother me and so I'm going to be spending a lot of the rest of the day searching for the answer to that.
This book was good. It's got literally everything. Monsters, spirits, gods, fate-touched, love, secrets, war, the dead.
I mean, obviously. This book is called "Queen Among the Dead". Of course the dead are going to feature in it.
But this was so good. So good. And our three main characters are just *chef's kiss*
