A Throne of Swans by Katharine Corr
4.0
A Throne of Swans is a dark glittering fantasy loosely inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. We follow Aderyn on her journey to find the truth behind her mothers murder and her navigation of the dangerous royal court. Aderyn soon realises that she’ll need to keep her friends close and her enemies closer.
I loved Aderyns character for her bravery and loyalty to those she loves, even her silly moments are forgivable when I remember her age. Her various love interests play a driving force throughout the novel and I found myself pleasantly surprised by the non cliche ending.
The story moves at a strong pace and I managed to finish it in under a week which isn’t bad when that week was Christmas. Further, the numerous plot twists and deceptive characters kept me highly entertained as we learn not to trust what characters say and instead observe what they do.
If you’re a fan of The Red Queen and The Cruel Prince I believe you would find enjoyment in this story. I would love to read your thoughts if you read this book too!
