Queen of Myth and Monsters
by Scarlett St. Clair
Thank you SOURCEBOOKS and NetGalley for the e-arc of Queen of Myth and Monsters by Scarlett St. Clair.
Scarlett St. Claire bring us back to Adrian and Isolde's story with higher stakes, more steamy romance, and enough heartbreak to go around. What I found the most important aspect of the book is the development of Adrian and Isolde's relationship. It has changed from the first book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading their struggle for happiness. St. Claire provides keen insight into the happenings of marriage when it isn't just about passion. Adrian and Isolde are really getting to know each other and how their new roles and trials they face will test the limits of their love.
Isolde is smart and owns how attractive she is. I felt inspired by her intuition and strong mindset to not just accept the choices being made for her. As a woman, it is important to read about other women who do not conform to their new realities and instead choose to shape it their way. She is queen becoming in more ways than one.
It isn't a St.Claire book without the romance and there is plenty of that to be found. To be honest, I almost felt annoyed by the sexier scenese as it felt as though Adrian and Isolde would just avoid their feelings and be physical instead. As I mentioned before, they are still discovering what being married and ruling a kingdom is like together.
There is a lot to discover in this book. The book is the bridge between the first and third book so it is full of new information, side-character highlights, and betrayal that comes at you with an intense force.
