A Queen of Gilded Horns by Amanda Joy
3.0
3.75 / 5
As much as I loved the first book, this one fell short of expectations. The worldbuilding and characters exuded complexity except for the main villain, who felt more cartoonish than insidious. But, in tandem with other critiques I've seen, the pacing felt all off.
The presence of multiple POVs caused some head-hopping and felt more chaotic than the first book, which I distinctly remember was centered on Eva.
But beyond the pacing issue and the slew of events happening at once that made the book jammed packed with a bit too much, I would still suggest it as a read. Worldbuilding is this book's saving grace.
