Queen Among the Dead by Lesley Livingston
3.0
Gorgeous lore and Celtic references, Queen Among the Dead is a fresh fantasy story with twists, turns and relationships you cannot refuse to root behind.
I adore the relationship between Neve, Ronan and Sakir. Our MC, Neve is strong from the start and I like how she consistently retains her fierceness. She does not ever seem to waiver in what she wants and appreciate that in a strong lead.
I will say, the timeline is a little jumpy at the beginning. There is very little background, just quick drama and then a jump, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing it just didn’t seem like a “prologue”. There were some missing pieces or things I felt could have been explained better.
It was a really good story line and I think with a little less lore-building (or better introductions of it) it could have went from good to amazing. The plot is there and I really feel for the characters as we go through the story. There are also some great twists and turns. It was just tough to constantly flip back to the beginning to see which lore was which.
Overall, if you love old Ireland lore and high fantasy-esque stories… definitely give this one a try!
