The Queen's Resistance
by Rebecca Ross
No qualms about it, this is such an enjoyable and fulfilling fantasy duology. It’s one of my favorites and I love the path it takes its readers down.
The Queen’s Resistance picks up shortly after the first book, and the people of Maevana are figuring out how to piece their country back together after returning the rightful queen to her throne.
Although I missed some of the swoony romance aspects of the first book, when Brienna and Cartier are in the initial stages of their relationship, I appreciated even more the team they are in this one and the earnestness between them.
This sequel definitely brings in more of the politics of the aftermath of a revolution and I greatly enjoyed the intrigue in weeding out dissenters and learning more about the houses of Maevana and their people. There are quite a few intriguing twists and the action kept the story moving forward with a consistent pace. Furthermore, it continues to build upon the theme of forging a family of your own making, not necessarily one based on blood. I found this message to be one of the most powerful aspects of the story.
Really love this one though. It’s a solid and easy to love fantasy with all of the expected and well loved elements of the genre, with some intriguing qualities that make it a little different as well. Highly recommend!
