The Queen's Rising
by Rebecca Ross
Actual rating more like 3.5 stars? 3.7? 3.9? I don't know. I don't know what to think.
I really liked the beginning of this book. And I honestly liked the middle and the end as well. But they felt kind of disjointed. Perhaps this is coming from me, who tends to get really, really attached to supporting characters. But there's this awesome cast of supporting characters in the first bit, and then the protagonist goes somewhere else, and there's a whole new cast of supporting characters, and you only see a couple of the characters from the first bit ever again. That was very disappointing to me and made the book feel like it came in two separate parts.
Again, probably just me being picky.
The writing was gorgeous, and the setting(s) richly drawn. There was less of the magic stuff than I expected from a high fantasy, honestly, so if you're main draw to high fantasy is, you know, the fantasy, maybe skip this one, but if you're into the kingdoms and the political intrigue and etc., give this one a read!
