Black Queen: Stray by Lidiya Foxglove

5.0

I received an ARC copy of Black Queen and enjoyed being given a new world and dynamics to take in.
We are introduced to quite a few characters and their POVs in the book for being a fairly short read, though mostly it is Frankie's story. We get introduced to some world building in Istara, a country inside of the US, and a general understanding of the shifters and human interactions. We know from early on that Frankie is special but unwilling to take the risk to acknowledge it.
The characters all have a lot of growing to do, and I'm extremely interested to see where it goes. While the plot advances and has excitement, we are definitely left waiting on some romance.
Ready for book two!
