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.
