Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep

A new series taking place in Bellonan, a country with shape shifting and magic.  Evie, a poor Cinderella type of relative lives in the palace of her aunt, the queen.   Her cousin, Vasila, her closest friend or is she?   Strength of magic determines so much in Bellonan and Evie appears to have none.   Evie is forced to defend the kingdom that has denied her existence.

Estep has polished her skills since I read her early Spider works.  She has crafted a kingdom and its neighbors and populated them with colorful characters.   She develops the Evie character and shows the success of determination and courage.   I was somewhat surprised that rage fueled hatred seemed to be more important than a stalwart, cool and pragmatic approach to victory.  


An interesting book, well written and very entertaining.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
