3/5
Thanks to Netgalley and Skyscape for giving me this book to
review.
The Fire Queen is the light, fast paced sequel to The
Hundredth Queen which improved on the world building and descriptive writing.
However, I found the story very predictable as it was so similar to the first
book. I also was not a fan of the love triangle in this book, and while I liked
the alternating POVs in this book as we got to see more story, it did make me
like Deven less.
Kali is a good character as she knows what she wants now and
is very loyal to her country and the people in it. I wish Deven would grow a
pair as in the entire book he was moping around, pushing people away, and then
was upset that they weren’t around. I found Ashwin’s character a bit
inconsistent but also naïve and a pushover. Brother Shaan’s character changed
completely in this book as he seemed a bit shady.
While this book is not perfect I still enjoyed it, and am
looking forward to reading The Rogue Queen. I would recommend The Fire Queen to
fans of the first book The Hundredth Queen.
