thombe 's review for:

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

2.0

---

The nation building is so illogical. Babies are separated from their mother to be raised by foster families only to be completely isolated from those families when they have to take the throne after the mother they never met dies. The characters are shocked that everyone has secrets. And walls separating the four types of people so the citizens can never be anything but what culture they are born into. It's a terrible premise. And the main character is full of self-loathing.
