The Mad King and the False Queen by Amanda Abrom, Hope Abrom
5.0
*ARC read*
-Detailed world-building
-Dual POV
-Action and fast paced
-Interesting magic system
-Romance (Mostly heavy kissing with details; one goes-to-dark-scene)
-Age level could be YA if okay with the detailed kissing scenes which are very descriptive. Would suggest for more of an older teen and up.
I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. The beginning with Dagmara caught my attention pretty quickly but by the halfway point I was fully invested. I loved the Dual POV going back and forth between the two main characters. The author gives you enough of one POV to have you invested, ends a chapter with a cliffhanger, and then swaps to the other POV. It is painful in a good way (lol). I enjoy the journey that Dagmara and Magda go through. Them swapping their roles was very intriguing. I was definitely thrown for a loop at the end! The conflicting love interests and not knowing which one you want Magda to go for was just so good. It was also nice to read about a main character who had a health condition and was not your typical beauty who was good at combat.
Definitely suggest reading this, but know at the time of this review it is unfinished series.
