Queen B’s Decree: Alessandra is not your typical fantasy heroine. She’s scheming, conniving, and she is motivated to get what she wants. And what she wants…is to be queen. And not just the partner to the king…she wants to be the only monarch around. You picking up what I’m throwing down🔪?
And so I didn’t expect to like Alessandra. But man, she shows some exceptional character growth. She makes some legitimate friends, she even starts to fall for her mark…the Shadow King. By the end, I was rooting for her and was hoping she’d get her ‘Happily Ever After.’
Despite how much I loved Alessandra, my favorite was still Kallias, the Shadow King. He was just the kind of morally grey I can’t resist.
And now I gotta grab book two.
