Queenslayer by Sebastien de Castell

1.0

I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes, but this one really didn't do it for me. I expected a fun ride like the other four, but that didn't seem to be what this book was interested in. And at first that was alright, not every book needs to be a daring adventure, but the plot felt like worrying a sore tooth with your tongue for ten hours. I saw it through hoping that by the end this would all be justified by a late-game turn, but for me none of that really played out.

I've read reviews of the next book saying that there's a similar feeling for those who were unsatisfied with this one, so unfortunately I'll be leaving that one unread for the foreseeable future. I'm very sad, because finishing these two books was something I was pretty excited about. Ah well, thankful for four books I thoroughly enjoyed.
