Review: The Queen's Triumph

Book Review: The Queen's Triumph, by Jessie Mihalik, 4 stars


 

Queen Samara Rani knows she’s likely walking into a trap, but agreeing to meet with Commander Adams is the fastest way to get within striking distance of the Quint Confederacy’s biggest traitor and her sworn enemy. Adams attacked her home and destroyed her ship, and if he’s not stopped, he will ruin the tentative peace between the Kos Empire and the Quint Confederacy—and Samara’s chance at future with Emperor Valentin Kos. Samara is determined to serve up some well-deserved payback, but she is no longer a lone assassin, and despite her protests, her friends and allies refuse to let her undertake such a perilous mission without them. Even Valentin, usually the voice of reason, refuses to stay behind. Samara is loath to put her friends in danger, and taking a team carries its own risks, so she makes plans to keep them safe, no matter what the cost. When Adams threatens that safety, and everything she holds dear, Samara vows to show him exactly how she earned her deadly reputation—and why one should never cross the Rogue Queen.

Mature content: yes

Review:The Queen's Triumph is book 3 the the Rogue Queen series, closely follows book 1 (The Queen's Gambit) and book 2 (The Queen's Advantage) and it's not a story I would recommend you to read as a stand alone. 

After a slightly slow beginning, I soon found myself glued to the pages. It's still not as good as Jessie Mihalik's more recent books, but the fighting scenes are almost up to that level.
 
 
   

 
Discovering if and how Samara and Valentin got their happy ending was an added bonus, although the last pages of the book felt a bit over the top fairytale-ish. 
 
 
Happy readings,
