Queen B’s Decree: This book has sparked some existential thoughts in me. Does a serial killer deserve a happy ending or love? If he kills bad people, does that absolve him of his crimes?
Micaden’s Madness was a whirlwind. Dark and twisted, leaving you wondering what would come next. Emerald and Micaden have a painful history; one that gets slowly enfolded. Almost painfully slow. Once the story line picked up, I became much more invested.
I felt like I was on a precipice for much of the story, just waiting to hear the true story of their past. And once I reached that precipice, I felt slightly let down. Without sharing any spoilers, I’ll just say that I wasn’t satisfied with Emerald and Micaden’s resolution. It felt too…easy? This is something I’ve recently discussed with Queen J. I’m discovering I want my characters to grovel. Forgiveness doesn’t come easily to me; but only in regards to my fictional characters.
But that’s just me. Don’t let my unforgiving fictional nature stop you from reading this book. It was so intriguing and interesting that I’m now determined to read more by V.F. Mason. Keep an eye out here for the future reads!
