I don’t see how it is helpful to forbid relationships and not let queens visit the territories they are in charge of. How lazy is that?Īnd just because I can’t end this review without touching on this: the laws for the kingdom we’re stupid as hell. Her character was just a joke.She threw away her family and a good life just because she “wanted” to be a thief. She didn’t seem to care for anyone but herself she was very selfish. I was hoping that at least Keralie would be interesting but that was a dead-end too. I never formed any sort of connection to them or Keralie (unless you want to count irritation). They were all pretty bland and honestly, I couldn’t care less about them. There was nothing really distinguishable about them. The characters were the next issue I ran into because as we were introduced to the queens I could not for the life of me tell them apart. Sometimes I just felt like I should be straight up taking notes. My first clue that I was in for a rough ride was when the author started assaulting me with all these rules and history lessons about how the queens came to be (granted, the main character seemed annoying but this was the first thing that truly bothered me). I was so let down by this book, so utterly bored, that I had to DNF it at 45%. But in the end, none of these things happened. I loved the concept of four sister queens, the intrigue of a good mystery, and a potential thief now having to turn “good” to help her kingdom. This was a book I had been very excited about. ❝ “ Sometimes failure is the beginning of success” ❞ She didn’t take things seriously and really only looked out for herself. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. Varin runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but in fact, she’s one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar.

＊Ｎｏｔｅ：I received an ARC of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
