Long Live the Elf Queen by J.M. Kearl
4.0

Long Live The Elf Queen is the second book in The Elf Queen trilogy by J.M. Kearl.

I was so excited to get back into this story as the first book ended on a cliffhanger of sorts. Layala has fought against falling in love with Thane. Thane fought to win her heart. Can this new love withstand them being torn apart?

The overall pacing of the plot was a bit slow but we did get a lot more plot development in this sequel. The new characters (and creatures) were interesting and the continued world-building was great. I like J.M. Kearl’s writing style as it is easy to read with just the right amount of prose for me. The atmosphere was on par with the world-building, there was plenty of emotional impact and the ending of the book…I was thinking this was a duology until that ending!!! What!?! I need the third book ASAP!

4.5 stars
