A review by brieannamaree
The Unbroken Queen by Terina Adams

3.5

This book was really hard for me to get into. The first third of the book was world building, which of course makes sense considering it’s the first of a series. However, I he over complicated names of people and places, along with the extensive history background, made it a slog to get through. But!! If you get past that point, it gets so much better. 

Tressya is an illegitimate child of a king who is in the Sistern. In the plainest terms possible, that’s a girls only cult that deals with soul magic. She’s never been very good at it, and the Sistern never lets her forget it. So when she’s sent to a different country for an arranged marriage, no one is more surprised than she. 

After arriving in her new kingdom, absolute madness unfolds. Forbidden love, deep secrets, and the overall questioning of everything she’s ever been taught. Tensions are high, chemistry is great, and the future of the kingdom is in the balance. Her character development is slow, which is upsetting but understandable as it sets up the series well.
