A review by liesljrowe
Knaves Over Queens by George R.R. Martin

3.0

I love the premise of this, superheroes and a mysterious virus against the backdrop of key historical events. I enjoyed basically all of the stories, especially the submissions by Emma Newman and Peter Newman. Only problem is that I would love to read more about a lot of the main characters. Towards the end of the book, it seemed like everything was building to a big event where a lot of the characters would interact, but then that never happened so it felt a bit anticlimactic. I didn't feel there was resolution for some of the plotlines either, the Twisted Fists and Northern Ireland especially. Hopefully they'll release another anthology at some point because I'm definitely not done wanting to know about this world.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
