Review: The Traitor Queen


Book Review: The Traitor Queen, by Danielle Jensen, 5 stars




A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter.

And it is bait she fully intends to take.

Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father's clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she's trying to free—the husband she betrayed.

With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who—and what—she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.


Genre: fantasy

Publication date: September 2020

Mature content: yes

Review: Amazing. Even better than book one (The Bridge Kingdom) because in The Traitor Queen we see Lara in all her glory and she's just the best. I just couldn't put down this book, because it's non-stop action from the first to the last page. You can't help but root for Lara, and for Lara and Aren to get together again, but it's a fight till the very end. 


I'm definitely hooked on this series, so I will be moving onto the next book soon and will post a review as soon as I fisish reading it. I know the other books feature different main characters, but I'm hoping for some glimpses of Lara and Aren here and there...

Totally recommended, though it's not a stand alone book, you need to read book one first to understand the context and the characters. 

Happy readings!
