A Curse of Queens

Definitely more enjoyable than the first three books but still not really worth reading.

The first 75% was set up for the quest and the last 25% was the quest. It felt so unbalanced. I wish either the set up was shorter or the quest longer. I was really enjoying the story until I realized the ending was going to be completely rushed and unsatisfying. I'm undecided if I'll read the next one because of how disappointing this series has been so far. I'm interested because this entire book felt like a set up for the next one which has me intrigued.

The fact that we got more scenes and banter between Bellanca and Carver than we did with Jo and Flynn was incredibly disappointing. It honestly felt like the author was using this book to get us interested in the next one. I wanted more between the books main couple instead of focusing on the side couple.

Overall, I'm just disappointed in this entire series. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you are interested I say proceed with low expectations.

Final rating: 2.5 stars ✨
