Queen B’s Decree: The First Girl Child is an epic fantasy story. A lot of world building, interesting characters, and decades of time passing.
But the story started very slow. I found it very hard to continue for the first 50% or so of the story. I just felt like I was on the edge of a precipice – waiting for the action and the story to start unfolding.
Once everything was set into motion, I was 100% invested. Bayr and Alba, Dagmar and Ghost…their stories burrowed into my heart.
Fantasy may not be my normal genre of choice, but if Amy Harmon writes it, I will follow. If you find yourself struggling at the beginning (like I did), know that it is worth it and keep going!
