Rebecca Ross always writes such wonderful stories where there is an assortment of amazing characters as well as an absolutely enchanting romance. Her protagonists are always, ALWAYS women who hold so much power and strength and creates beautiful relationships with those around her. I loved this book, and every twist and turn, was one I wasn't expecting but was delighted to find out nonetheless

I love ms Rebecca Ross but this one was just okay to me. Fair since it is her debut. It just didn’t have me hanging on the edge of my seat like her other novels had.

What I loved:
-strong female characters
-found family
-well thought out world and backstory

What I disliked
-the book was not very exciting
-the romantic pairing (

teacher/student/adult who met other when they were a CHILD only to get together like right when she turns 18 🤢/OBVIOUSLY unbalanced power dynamic

)

The romantic couple was really hard to look past and I found myself rooting for Brienna to find ANY other man (or even better: WOMAN) but alas it ended how I feared. I would like to know why Rebecca chose to go that way as it appears many reviewers agree that the couple was unsettling. This wasn’t written that long ago. But overall a good book and I will definitely read the next one to finish off Rebecca Ross’ entire catalogue bc I love her

“The Queen’s Rising” is your classic YA fantasy story and brimming with rich settings and fantastical characters.

However, the seventeen year old female main character ends up in a relationship with her twenty-seven year old former teacher. They did wait to act on their mutual attraction until she had graduated, but it’s still creepy.
