A review by manikahemmerixh
The Traitor Queen by Danielle L. Jensen

3.75

Just like the first one, this one leaves me honestly just wanting to scream as a release for all that I just went through. Miss Jensen really pushes it until the last second here too. Would I have liked to get a bit more happiness and moments of relief for Aren and Lara? Definitely, but did this still work for me somehow? Yes. It's dramatic and angsty but also action packed and driven in a way that makes for a nice, quick read. Just because of my pull to these characters and the way I root for them so endlessly, it's so close to 4 stars. But, I do think that it was a bit disappointing if I think about it as the end of Lara and Aren's story (since the next two books focus on Keris), and parts of it feel very rushed, the last 100 or so chapters, especially.
