A detailed review for the book is present on Musing Of Souls
Thank you so much Amulet Books, Netgalley and TBR and Beyond Book Tours for giving me an opportunity to read this wonderful book!

With much complex plot and so many different characters, that too, all perfect, Wench did not disappoint me at all. Tanya has been a Tavern Wench since she could notice the world around but when the owner dies, she is to become the proprietress of 'The Smiling Snake'. But, when the Queen's corpsmen take away her property, she decides to join the corps on the travel to "The Glacier" (The Queen's land.). There are secrets hidden within the corps and the queen and when Tanya finds out what the secret is, she is suddenly in the castle kneeling in front of the queen.

What happens in between and what are the secrets that 'The Queen' is hiding? To find out, grab the book!

Now, talking about the writing style of the book. I would not say it is for any beginner, while the English used is quite easy and readability is amazing, the book involves a lot of changes in the scenario and emotions, as well as there, are many characters present and new ones keep coming now and then. For me, this part turns out to be a favourite one but for someone who wishes to get into reading, it might not be the best read.

The character development is amazing. The lead character is strong, powerful and has a very loveable personality. Even the supporting characters are built so deeply that it will leave you awe-struck. As much as the main character means to us here, all the background characters have their own part to pour into here. I cannot imagine the book being so good without such good characters!

If you are looking for a medium-paced, book with high fantasy elements including minor elements of LGBT+ Romance as well as action and magic and some tragedy, this is the book for you!
