Lethal Kings
by Victoria McCombs, Victoria McCombs
Thea has one year left as the Mortal Queen of the fae, but she's determined to live--and save the life of every Mortal Queen after her.
The introduction of the Gamemaster was a fun twist, though I did expect more game elements than were actually in the novel. A fair amount of the plot is Thea trying to unravel the past of the Mortal Queens to figure out how to save them, but don't assume that that will be boring. As with the previous book, McCombs weaves in plenty of twists.
The same characters appear in Lethal Kings, though they hold plenty of secrets for the book to reveal. I do wish a little more page time had been devoted to Thea and Bash's relationship, particularly in working through their trust issues. It felt like it was brushed aside a little too quickly. I did really appreciate the strong familial ties underscoring the novel. That's not often found in YA, so it was nice to read.
I don't want to say much else at risk of spoilers. Overall, Lethal Kings is a satisfying conclusion to The Fae Dynasty by Victoria McCombs.
Cautions: eight kisses; moderate romance; brief, non-graphic violence
