The Scorpion Queen by Mina Fears
5.0

The Scorpion Queen by Mina Fears is an amazing tale! I didn't know what to expect with this Malian inspired fairy tale, but I was blown away! There were many unique twists and unexpected reveals that made this a truly unique tale!

This young adult book follows Amie, a disgraced wealthy girl who now serves the princess. All she desires is to be with her love, but after spending time with the princess, she feels a connection with her as well. Amie is faced with impossible choices and enormous hurdles to do the right thing. I love how good she is, even when faced with adversity. 

5/5 would absolutely read again! I'm looking forward to the next book since there is a decent cliffhanger at the end of this book 😅 I'm ready to dive in the next book!
