Covenant of Queens is the third book of the Rand series.
In this third chapter Savannah is a archeologist from our world who after finding a magical necklace travelled to Rand and became the chosen one, destined to save a fantasy world called Rand from many enemies.
The last enemy being an evil army of time travelling shape shifters.
My favourite thing about this series and the books is that most of the characters are women, the Queens have women as consorts. It's so refreshing for once to have a series that has so many womens in it.
You get really attached to the characters and their personal development in the books.
I have a few favourites including a stubborn lively young horse.
Savannah has grown a lot in the previous books and her responsibilities also start to make personal relationships and her romantic relationship tense, so finding a balance in her private life was an important part in this book.
Having a deadline to save the world surely is something that can change someone's life perspective.
I have to say this book was a bit slower to reas for me and I got confused a bit with the characters name and multiple quests during the story.
This book would have benefited from a character name list for a smoother reading.
It's a pleasant book to read. I just didn't click so much with this one compared with the first two, Covenant of Queens was a bit repetitive, maybe in the steps Savannah had to walk in order to save the world of Rand.
The mysteries built up during the series needed to be revealed and honestly I was so curious and invested with Savannah trying to understand the source of her magical powers.
This didn't sound like the actual final chapter so I'm very curious and hopefully for another Rand series book.
