The Queen’s Keeper

As a reader, I was fully immersed in this story from the start because of how interesting the characters were and how much I wanted to see what happened as they journeyed through their wildly wonderful world.

Throughout the novel, the primary character not only tells the story from her perspective, but the other characters also get a chance to speak from their viewpoint. This writing style, alongside the plot, is arguably my favourite part of the novel. It made me realise that people often see you far differently than how you see yourself. Such a good piece of advice to include within the story itself.

All of the characters were wonderfully written and they all have very individual/strong characteristics, which made them even more real as the story progressed. Be they good or evil, their depiction always feels spot on.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book but I'm rating it as 5 stars because it definitely exceeded my expectations. I didn't want to put it down. I didn't guess ANY of the twists and I think I actually gasped out loud at one point! Its SO good.

When reading this book, you'll easily fall in love with the characters and you'll be transported to a magical realm that is described so perfectly that you'll feel like you're right there too but what I liked the most is the underlaying message of positivity, of being yourself, of accepting help when you need it and most importantly, of learning to see the good inside you. In my head, it's a sort of mash up of Alice's Wonderland, a hunger games arena, the woods where Maleficent lives, with maybe a sprinkle of the Maze Runner too; if any of those things sound like something you'd like then I'd urge you to give it a go!

Please don't make us wait too long for the next segment! ❤❤

A great story with wonderful relatable characters, I love it when you get to see different characters POVs and here it’s done so well. The book is fast paced, engrossing and addictive, so many twists and turns it’s a really entertaining and enjoyable read.

5/5 stars

Holy cow I can’t believe not that many people have read this book. I highly recommend it to people who are fans of books like Red Rising and Hunger Games. This book will take you on an adventure of a life time.

My favorite part of the story is how all of the characters have their own backstories and none of them are annoying. All of them grow in their own way throughout the book and it is beautiful to watch it unfold. The book takes you through twists and unexpected turns that make you want to keep reading.

This book snatched Holly Black's wig and called her writing dull. The atmosphere in this reminded me of ye-olde Vampire Diaries early days. This story has stayed amd grown in my mind, I'm incredibly impressed.
