Queen of Hunger (First Tale of the Assembled
by L.E.H. Light
This books ratings? 4.5
I did not know what I was truly getting into with picking this up for my kindle other than the summary sounded intriguing and the main character seemed to have had a hard, hard life.
Then I started reading and found that author, L.E.H. Light fleshed out a world, one may even call it a kind of dystopian world that doesn't feel too far away from ours: slums that hold the poorest people, luxury and better living conditions available to people who live above in "The Towers", people gaining advanced prosthetics and integrating more and more technology into their bodies...
And I kept reading and found Teach aka Teresa, a survivor. An orphan. A haunted person. A wronged woman. A vessel for a God to speak and act through. And I read on and was given a tale of redemption, love and adventure and a hunger that encompasses so much: for home, for revenge, for answers, for closure and for companionship that Teach didn't know she was looking for.
My only gripe is that I felt the pacing was a bit slow in the beginning. It took me a while to trudge through it BUT once I got through it----I could hardly stand to be away from my kindle to keep reading! Queen of Hunger is an incredible book and YOU SHOULD BE READING IT.
After finishing, I've drove past churches and places of worship of all kinds humoring myself to hear sounds that would be like sounds of worship from The House of the Assembled. I walked past men whom I'd swear reminded me of Wyatt and all his annoying quirks. I've looked for Teach in the stern faces of women that I've stood in lines with at atms and in stores. This is a story that will not leave you overnight. This is a story that will stick with you. This is a hell of a story. It's well worth the price. I wish I owned this is print.
P.S. I know the author too but read on with giving an unbiased review in mind. And you know what? I found that this wasn't hard to do because this book is fantastic.
