Queen of Myth and Monsters
by Scarlett St. Clair
Sigh...I wanted to like this book, but it was not giving what the first book gave. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and how the author balanced the plot & spice. The book picks up right where the first book ended, with Adrian and Isolde dealing with the aftermath of the witch Ravena's attack, and what follows is a very slow and jarring tale full of too many characters' backstories, subplots, and rushed endings. The transitions between plots and spicy scenes were so abrupt that I would have to re-read sections to make sure I wasn't missing something.
And speaking of spice, I never thought I would say this, but it was so much spice that it almost didn't make sense. They argue...spice...they mourn...spice...somebody dies...spice....weird flashback...spice. It was so much spice I had to keep reminding myself of the plot to get through the book, and the plot is VERY GOOD!
Overall, I wasn't a fan of this one as the book was not balanced enough for me. I may try to read the next one but don't hold me to it.
