Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

4.0

This was a difficult story to read, painful in the heart. Bitterblue's struggles to come to terms with her Queen responsibilities, the horrible legacy left by her father, traitors everywhere and the need to be accepted. She looks at her trusted advisors and friends and sees something, or is it nothing ? Her heart will break more than once. Her status will keep her apart from many, and cause others to manipulate her.Sounds depressing doesn't it ? Somehow it's not. It is a story about perseverance, truths, and growth.
The story did what it should and had me entranced in the tale of Bitterblue, and her fight for redemption. The world was weaved with intricate details and complicated characters. My only complaint was that it did not go the way I wanted it too. I wanted something more for Bitterblue than what she was left with. A wonderful series.
