Nameless Queen by Rebecca McLaughlin
5.0
McLaughlin created an interesting world. Power and duty are as often as curse as a blessing and this is especially true in McLaughlin's novel of a street rat who suddenly has a chance to be Queen. On the surface it sounds like it should be a dream, but when looked at in the light of day the reality is not so bright.
She explores issues of economic class and social justice in an accessible way. Her 'villains' are not the evil plotters seeking chaos or complete destruction as in most fantasy epics. Her 'villains' are much more realistic. They are mortals with their own motives and goals, but they are no less villainous to the story.
