Black Queen: Stray by Lidiya Foxglove
4.0
This is a great introductory book into a new shifter world. The reader is brought into a world that is much like it is now, except shifters and humans exist together. However, in most cases, shifters are treated as less than human. This book introduces the reader to some of the history, politics and every day lives of people within the book, as well as the shifter queens prophecy.
The story is told from multiple POVs, a good way to learn more about each character. Their inner monologues and impressions of the world around them is beneficial to learning about the world, situations and other characters. Each character has their own unique voice and you become invested in wanting to learn more about them and what will happen.
This is very much a slow burn novel, we are introduced to potential interests but nothing is actually solidified, or even happens. We are left wondering who will play which role in the queens’ lives, and what the queens’ role is as well.
As previously stated, this is an introductory novel, in a good way! It leaves the readers wanting to know more and see where the author will lead us. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
