therearenobadbooks 's review for:

The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst
3.0

A little girl sees her village be destroyed by creatures but these spirits shouldn't have attacked like this. The queen is someone who has control over these and her champions are responsible for training girls who will one day become the Queen.
Daleina joins the trials without any intention to become more than someone who can protect her people.
She's determined and knows what she wants when she wants. I liked all the chapters in the "academy." I wanted to like what comes next with Ven, but the story kept focusing on parts I didn't care for. Also, the characters' motivations didn't grab me.
Perhaps this is the type of series that has to be binged. I will update this review if I ever finish all books.
