The Queen's Resistance
by Rebecca Ross
The Queen's Resistance: 4/5 stars
"If you were a storm, I would lie down and rest in your rain. If you were a river, I would drink from your currents. If you were a poem, I would never cease to read you."
Synopsis
Starting off immediately where The Queen's Rising ended... though they've successfully removed the Lannons from power, the revolution is merely just beginning. After all, Isolde's coronation still has to take place, and tons of things can go wrong between now and then.
Which, of course, they do. It's a fantasy book. It's inevitable.
There's not much to say here. The Lannon's are awaiting trial, Cartier, now Lord Morgane, is haunted by the death of his family, and a strange boy shows up in his manor one evening.
Meanwhile, Brienna struggles to gain the acceptance and trust of MacQuinn house, since everybody now knows who her father truly was.
People suck.
Writing and Plot
Unlike the first book, The Queen's Resistance is told in alternating perspectives from Brienna and Cartier, meaning we get to see more things. Honestly, I don't think the sequel was entirely necessary, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
The start was a bit slow, and I didn't become wholly invested until the Lannon trial. Still, I found the book to be quite predictable.
Still, at least some things went a bit wrong this time.
Characters
Like before, I wasn't utterly infatuated with any of the characters. They weren't very memorable.
Conclusion
I recommend this duology, since it's underrated and underappreciated. I haven't seen anybody else read it.
First Time Reading: July 2021
