The Queen's Rising

Synopsis

When her seventeenth summer solstice arrives, Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron. Growing up in the southern Kingdom of Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her for such a life. While some are born with an innate talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she belatedly chose to study knowledge. However, despite all her preparations, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true—the solstice does not go according to plan and she is left without a patron. Months later, her life takes an unexpected turn when a disgraced lord offers her patronage. Suspicious of his intent, and with no other choices, she accepts. But there is much more to his story, and Brienna soon discovers that he has sought her out for his own vengeful gain. For there is a dangerous plot being planned to overthrow the king of Maevana—the archrival kingdom of Valenia—and restore the rightful queen, and her magic, to the northern throne. And others are involved—some closer to Brienna than she realizes. With war brewing between the two lands, Brienna must choose whose side she will remain loyal to—passion or blood. Because a queen is destined to rise and lead the battle to reclaim the crown. The ultimate decision Brienna must determine is: Who will be that queen?

Review

This is one of the books having this light ambiance even the story-line is into revenge of the fallen lords. Well the story is kind of refreshing because of the idea of "Passion", well its new to me. I love her characters most especially Brianna, she comes of somewhat failure but I love her attitude, she's witty and brave. Well Cartier is my bae.

Cartier is Brianna's master of Knowledge. How I love his character well some scenes are really UNEXPECTED. I kept on reading and flipping over the page where the family tree is intact to see some clues but I'm not expecting having ghost bumps over such revelation. (Well you should read to know WHY? haha)

Well that's a literal ghost tho hahaha

But all over the story is incredible, even though it a light story the author pull it off, well I'm really expecting more on the second book which will be release on February 2019.

That enough for now.
