Queens of Moirai by Rhiannon Hargadon
4.0
Oh, Queens of Moirai—where fate isn’t just a concept, it’s a tangled mess of power plays, dark magic, and one hell of a family drama.
Morena Atropos has spent her life locked away, trapped by forces far beyond her control. But when a stranger arrives claiming to be her betrothed, everything changes. Suddenly, she's caught between freedom, duty, and the terrifying reality of what it truly means to be one of the Fates.
This book is dripping with mythological influence, but don’t expect a straightforward retelling—Hargadon twists and reshapes familiar elements into something entirely her own. The world-building is rich, full of dangerous magic, shifting alliances, and a court that thrives on manipulation. Morena herself is a fascinating lead—haunted, sharp, and far more powerful than even she realizes. And the relationships? Tense, messy, and layered with secrets.
The pacing stumbles a bit in places, but the intrigue keeps things moving. It’s the kind of story where you’re never quite sure who to trust, and that’s half the fun.
If you like your fantasy dark, your characters morally gray, and your stakes impossibly high, Queens of Moirai is definitely worth your time.
