Four Dead Queens
by Astrid Scholte
UGH, I was expecting some major twist at the end but got an ehh kind of ending.
Four Dead Queens was an okay book. It was interesting to see a thief become a Queen. Then it was equally intriguing to see that the Queens weren't exactly happy either - which one would assume that they would be. Yet, the daily life of living by strict rules doesn't really sound appealing.
In it, you will meet Keralie, Iris, Corra, Stessa, and Marguerite. One is a thief and the other four are the queens of the four quadrants. Now I did think it was interesting that this world was divided into four quadrants and each had their queen - but at what price? Well, they each live by a lot of strict rules which honestly doesn't sound like fun. Then there's Keralie who kind of gets swept off her feet (not in a good way) because she's apparently conspiring to kill the queens. No big deal right?
The whole murder mystery was intriguing to a point. I kind of felt like I was getting a bit lost with all the POV's (plus being super tired and having a migraine while reading this) but I was invested enough to see this through. The murder and world building was on point - at least for me. However, I honestly didn't really care a whole lot about the romance in this. I really wanted to but ugh, it was just kind of meh to me.
Overall, I was expecting a different ending because the one I got was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for some kind of BANG - the end or mic drop the whole situation - yet, I got nothing exciting really. It was still good though.
