The Red Queen by Isobelle Carmody
3.0
3.5
Wow, I still don't know what to think! I'm gonna go with 3.5 stars because of all the typos. Most weren't horrible, but a few had me re-reading phrases. And this is so long! I still don't know whether I'm happy or not about that because it was slightly annoying while I read it but at the same time I was dreading the end of the book yet I just wanted to know what happens.
The book did a great job wrapping up all the loose ends from the series prior, but it also did an amazing job at leaving me with more questions. Now I just want a novella about what happens in Eden and another series on Dragon's rule over the Redlands (a nice long one please, maybe 'till the end of her days?). And a novella on what happens to Myrium (though I guess that could be cover in the series on Dragon's rule) and also I want to know if they ever use the beforetime computermachines to build communications between all the lands, and I also want to know where the white-faced lords came from in relation to the Redlands and such.This is what happens when I'm left with an open ending... At least mostly everyone seemed happy enough or at least they got enough closure for whatever they wanted.
This book did Dragon justice though, and that I'm thankful for. She has always been my favourite character and the one I sympathized the most with.
The ending got me and I feel like it was a bit dramatic and unnecessary for. Sure, it was a reward, but I think she should have and could have stayed.
I believe that's it.
