Firru . a dat nota:
No qualms about it, this is such an enjoyable and fulfilling fantasy duology. It’s one of my favorites and I love the path it takes its readers down. The Queen’s Resistance picks up shortly after the first book, and the people of Maevana are figuring out how to piece their country back together after returning the rightful queen to her throne. Although I missed some of the swoony romance aspects of the first book, when Brienna and Cartier are in the initial stages of their relationship, I appreciated even more the team they are in this one and the earnestness between them. This sequel definitely brings in more of the politics of the aftermath of a revolution and I greatly enjoyed the intrigue in weeding out dissenters and learning more about the houses of Maevana and their people. There are quite a few intriguing twists and the action kept the story moving forward with a consistent pace. Furthermore, it continues to build upon the theme of forging a family of your own making, not necessarily one based on blood. I found this message to be one of the most powerful aspects of the story.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
At long last, Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is settling into her role as the daughter of Davin MacQuinn, the disgraced lord who returned to Maevana to reclaim his House. Though she’s just survived a revolution that will finally put a queen back on the throne, she faces yet another challenge: acceptance by the MacQuinns. But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest confidant, she’ll have to balance serving her father’s House with serving her country. And then there’s Cartier.
Aodhan Morgane, formerly known as Cartier Évariste, is adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in Valenia and his current one as lord of a fallen House. During his castle’s restoration, he discovers Tomas, a young boy whose past is a mystery. So when Brienna is as taken with Tomas as he is, Cartier lets his mind wander—what if he doesn’t have to raise him or his House alone?
However, Brienna and Cartier must put their love aside and stay focused on the most vital tasks at hand—the Lannons’ trial, forging alliances, executing justice, and ensuring that no one halts the queen’s coronation. But resistance is rumbling among the old regime’s supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the rebels’ forces. And what makes one more vulnerable than love?
In this epic follow-up to The Queen’s Rising, Rebecca Ross weaves political intrigue, complicated relationships, and undying love to create a story that readers won’t be able to put down.
