A review by nclcaitlin
The Dawn of the Cursed Queen by Amber V. Nicole

3.5

The World Ender is dead, and The Hand of Rashearim now walks around blindly, listening to every demand of Nismera who ruthlessly reigns over the realms. 
Only, Samkiel isn’t dead and Dianna can’t let anyone know she has brought him back from the dead. Not even Samkiel as she struggles to find the right time as he slowly heals. 

There is a lot of POVs in this one which gives you such a sprawling look from so many different places and characters on both sides of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. 
How can you start to feel sorry for the bad guys?!!!! Nooooo! 

“Since I have a pussy, they prefer queen, but we all know in our world the title of king holds more power."

Dianna is stubborn. Hard-headed. Strong-willed. She is chaos, Samkiel is order. Their souls are literally made for each other. This is the epitome of touch them and you die.  

Perhaps it was truly a funny thing not to realize how broken or damaged you were until someone came along and picked up every single fractured piece and showed you how just being you was enough.

It felt like a lot happened but nothing major really did? Like nothing that seriously advanced the plot from where we were left at book two. However, whilst being a filler book to set things up, it really didn’t feel like it. Action, emotions, a lot of spice (I skipped them but there were A LOT)… 

Overall, another heart-gripping romantasy from Amber! Heavy emphasis on the romance (and physicality) for this one! 

Thank you to Headline for providing the arc in exchange for a review!
