The Caged Queen
Ratings8
Average rating3.8
One sacrifice will free her.
Once there were two sisters born with a bond so strong that when they were angry, mirrors shattered, and when they were happy, flowers bloomed. Roa and Essie called it the hum, and it forged them together—until a terrible accident took Essie’s life and trapped her decaying soul in this world.
Dax—the heir to Firgaard’s throne—was responsible for the accident. Roa swore to hate him forever. But eight years later he came begging for her help, determined to dethrone his father under whose oppressive reign Roa’s people suffered. Roa made Dax a deal: She’d give him the army he needed if he made her queen. Because only as queen could she save her people from Firgaard’s oppressive rule. Together, they won the war. But now Dax is proving to be an untrustworthy king, and Roa is struggling to stay ahead in Firgaard's treacherous political class.
When an opportunity arises to vanquish this enemy and rescue her beloved sister, Roa must seize it. During the Relinquishing, when the spirits of the dead are said to return, she will have one chance to reclaim her sister for good.
All she has to do is kill the king.

The story completely derailed in this. This book had enemies to lovers so I was excited initially but then it threw love triangle and misunderstandings at me too. Ughh.
Roa kept on causing problem after problem because she refused to talk things through with Dax (her husband!) And instead kept talking with Theo, her toxic ex-boyfriend. WTF!! Alsoooo, why would you still want to kill him after you've come to the conclusion that you love him? Woman, get it together.
Also, not enough dragons in this. Please, just go back to Asha. She decided in 5 minutes who she sided with and was waaaay better at decision making. I need more dragons!
un 2e tome très bien ficelé que j'ai eu grand plaisir à lire !
Même si on ne se concentre plus sur Asha, le perso principal du tome 1 que j'avais juste adoré ,ce 2e tome m'a quand même vachement plu.
Désormais on suit donc le couple Roa/Dax (le frère d'Asha) et c'était super prenant !
J'avais un petit peur en commençant ce livre car je n'avais pas particulièrement apprécié le perso de Roa dans le tome 1 mais finalement ce perso s'est révélé plein de surprises quoique assez énervant à certains moments.
Je m'explique, Roa est une femme maligne, rusée, et à de nombreuses reprises elle tire des conclusions suite à des événements et infos qu'elle reçoit MAIS et c'est la ce qui m'a énervé. Malgré les informations en sa possession à aucun moment elle ne va confronter les personnes pour savoir ce qui est vrai ou non donc le doute continue de planer pendant tout le récit arrrgh
