A Queen of Gilded Horns by Amanda Joy
3.0
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with this book. I really loved the first book in the duology but this one seemed to move at an almost glacial pace. The first 2/3 of the book were exceptionally slow and dragged-out and the final 1/3 was almost too quick and felt really rushed.
I did appreciate how Joy made Eva's moral grapple with her power so prominent as that battle is exceptionally realistic and relatable.
My favourite character across the duology would have to be Isadore. Her perspective is so refreshing and I love her personality and hunger for power.
Overall, A Queen of Gilded Horns is a relatively disappointing read and I continue my search for a duology where the second book is not worse than the first.
