Book Description
Nelay
never wanted to be queen.
Poised
to become the most powerful priestess in Idara, Nelay doesn’t
have time to become a pretty bauble for the king. She’s too busy
saving her people from the invading army sweeping across her kingdom.
But
in defeat after defeat, Nelay begins to realize a bigger power is at play than
that wielded by mere mortals. Only she can stand between the cinders of her
once-great nation and the vengeance of a goddess.
Review
Thanks to Amber Argyle for giving me this book to review.
Summer Queen is the brilliant sequel to Winter Queen as
there was action, adventure, romance and magic. There was never a dull moment
in the book and I did not want to put it down, but I also never got overwhelmed
with too much info either. While you don’t need to read Winter Queen to enjoy
this book, I would recommend it as it is adds to the story, I would also
recommend reading the prequel short story to this Of Fire and Ash as it gives a
good insight into Nelay and her past.
I really loved Nelay’s character as she was brave, determined
and willing do anything for those she cares about, even if they don’t deserve
it. I also liked that she was intelligent and was never timid, while her character
grew in this book she always knew she was capable. I also really liked Rycus as
he was protective and balanced Nelay really well, plus I do have a soft spot
for storytellers. Another character I liked was Nelay’s best friend Jezzel but I
did wish she was in this book more than she was.
This is an amazing book and I am really looking forward to
reading the next book in the Fairy Queens series, Daughter of Winter. I would
recommend Summer Queen to fans of the First Book Winter Queen and the Fairy
Queens series, plus Ambers other books, to all fans of YA fantasy novels.
Until the end of the month the prequel novella Of Fire and Ash is free. Click on the links for Kindle and ePub
The first book in the series Winter Queen is on sale at 99c from the 10th - 17th April at Amazon USA and 99p at Amazon UK
Witch Song is free at both Amazon USA and Amazon UK
Rycus as he was protective and balanced Nelay really well, plus I do have a soft spot for storytellers.
