Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte
4.0

I’m pleasantly surprised I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, it’s strange I only realised this isn’t even a fantasy book no magic was involved and it’s was refreshing to see simply a murder mystery book surrounding court life. I liked the character of Keralie very headstrong girl, and Varin was okay although he seems like the guys that I read about all the time, maybe if the author gave him a bit more of angst and a personality I would love him. Plot itself was super interesting that’s why I picked it up in the first place, I love me a story surrounding royals and court life so I adored the setting and the world building was interesting with the different quandrants. The plot was always moving and I noticed I was never really bored and the characters were never really stuck in the same position for a long period of time.

In terms of the plot twists I found them a little lackluster, another character enters the story later on in the book but I don’t find her particularly interesting just kind of meh and it seemed as if they were created just to fulfil the role, some things that characters did towards the end didn’t really make any sense and proper explanations were not given by them idk it seemed like the author kind of rushed the last few chapters.

But overall I enjoyed the plot and the story itself, I do recommend it if your a plot person.
