The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst

2.0

---

The magic system and the setting were really cool but I spent a solid 80% of Queen of Blood incredibly bored. Daleina was an incredibly dull lead character and the plot was predictable. I very much would’ve preferred a story focused on Queen Fara, Ven, or one that followed Merecot after she left the academy. I was particularly disappointed in this because I found Sarah Beth Durst’s The Bone Maker to be so creative and unique. The setting measured up but unfortunately, nothing else did.
