A review by alialu
Queen Song by Victoria Aveyard
3.0
I am married to a prince who will one day be a king. Usually this is where the fairy tale ends. Stories don't go much further than this moment, and I fear there's a good reason for it. A sense of dread hung over today, a black cloud I still can't be rid of. It is an unease deep in the heart of me, feeding off my strenght
I am struggling to rate this book. Because the fact that I dislike what happens to poor Coriane doesn't mean that I think it's not well made, so maybe 3,5 stars.
Coriane is lost. So lost it hurts. She was sort of weak even before going to the castle, and that made it really easy for Elara to destroy her. I cannot possibly love a novella about a depressed girl, and I am glad it was short, because it was giving me a lot of angst.
I need to complain though about Coriane's character again. In RQ it is said that she was different and wanted to change things, but we see nothing of that in these pages. It's all about how she fell for Cal and accepted a role she couldn't possibly stand and Elara manipulated her till her death.
I missed that something I thought she had of a rebel, and it's not here. So that made me like her less, since I saw really nothing to distinguish her from the rest as Julian said.
