Queen of Deception is a YA fantasy story about reincarnation into a fantasy, ancient era novel. It has three pov's and while I usually am not a fan of that, it works amazingly well for this book. The storyline is intriguing, intense and I love the hints to other creatures and magical elements! The writing reads away smoothly and pulls you in right from the start. The story picks up right off the bat and is more fast than medium paced, which I personally prefer in a book! It works well and despite the fast pace is has plenty of depth. There is hints to romance but they are too vague to tell who's interested in who, and I actually adore that. 

The prince and his second in command, basically any interactions between them give me life! I kind of ship them 😂 Though I don't think that they are gay/bisexual, I would genuinely absolutely adore it if they are. 

This book has so many elements and I loved all diverse characters from the start! I recommend everyone to read this book. Personally I can't wait to read more! 📖✨
