Whoops what a doozy! Murderous queen backstory makes her worse!

Like, part of it is sad, like spoiled kids growing up sheltered in the nasty circles they do makes for horrible people and children.. but she had chances to be a better person. 

I still loved the writing

Basically the evil queen has been abused and then she abuses, manipulates, forces her husband into sleeping with her.

it was interesting to see more about levanas background, but this book was very disturbing. while her actions fit her character and the evilness, it’s very reflective of right and wrong and the messiness of politics into a novella. the only reason it’s rated so low for me is that i couldn’t stand listening to levanas monologue and how terrible of a person she was.

Spoiler

The lead forces her husband to have s*x with her soon after his wife has died, this happens multiple times. (The scenes are not graphic, however they can be quite uncomfortable) She is also a minor when their relationship starts while he is an adult.
