To Kill a Queen by Nancy Uliano, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Read in November 2020 Thank you Netgalley for giving me a free copy of this book. This is my honest review. To Kill a Queen is a story of Princess Raine, a reluctant heir, trying to find her older sister. She sets on a quest with Archmage Kirin where her life is in danger. The world building in To Kill a Queen was good but needed a little bit more explanation. There was a very interesting premise and it is a good strong foundation for a new fantasy world. In hindsight, though, some plot developments were obvious but still didn't get much page time in my opinion. Something would be revealed and before the characters have had chance to absorb it, the story moves on. I also thought the last few chapters were rushed and could have been expanded into a whole additional book because here it seemed to be resolved a bit quickly. I think this book is supposed to be the first in a series but I don't really see how it could carry on. I think To Kill a Queen works well as a standalone so...
