Queen Among the Dead by Lesley Livingston
“Now. Seize Destiny by the throat and make it bow to you.”
~~~
First off, I would like to thank Lesley Livingston, Zando Young Reader, and Netgalley for sending me an eARC. Queen Among the Dead out 1/17/23.
I enjoyed the idea of this book and enjoyed the characters. I loved the idea of using Irish mythology and then putting a twist on it for some fantasy. Some of the scenes were also really intense, mostly at the end. Which to me felt a little odd.
Personally, I think this will be a book that I will have to wait to reread when it is available on audiobook form. The reason I say that is because there were a lot of times where I was extremely confused by the context; whether it was describing the locations, magic system, politics, or just the relationship between some of the characters. Livingston’s writing is really neat, but some part in the book just got confusing where I could not figure out the story.
Now again, that’s a personal opinion. Others may be able to read it perfectly fine, that’s awesome. But as someone who’s dyslexic, this book would be one that I need someone else to read to make it make sense for me.
