The War of Two Queens Review
TWOTQ review, will most likely contain spoilers....
First of all, to those of you in the fandom that didn't like the book and are being extremely rude and hateful towards Jennifer, shame on you. I'm not speaking about those who didn't like the book and are discussing the points in groups respectfully, I’m talking about those who are sending really unkind messages and rude posts / reviews. Firstly, nobody asked for your opinion, nobody made you purchase the books. If you didn't like it, that's a shame but cool move on. The fact that Jennifer has taken a step back due to her mental health is such a shame and the time that she should be celebrating her release has now turned into such a difficult time for her. That's all I have to say on that matter, now for the review.
This was a wild ride. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will be purchasing and reading the next books.
I do agree that Kieran was a bit more touchy-feely in the book when Casteel wasn't there, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that but I did feel a bit strange as he wasn't always like that. I’m not complaining though, just a new thing to get used to.
I loved reading in Casteel’s point of view, I thought it brought a fresh feel to the series and it was really interesting reading and seeing the world through his eyes.
I really like Malik, I think he is so interesting and that he has loads of layers to him. My jaw DROPPED when we found out he was The Dark One, I didn't see that one coming at all. I feel like he will have a redemption in the next book and other people will like him. I mean we forgave Hawke / Casteel at the time for literally kidnapping and originally planning on killing Poppy, surely the fandom can forgive Malik?
Millie is certainly something. Not sure how she's going to play out but I'm interested to see how her story unfolds.
I’m a simp for Nektas and Reaver. Give me all the drakens, I’m obsessed.
There was so many cute moment in the book that had me screaming and squealing. My previous posts can probably show my emotions more, haha.
Let's talk about The Joining... Man, I was ready for some hot and nasty stuff to go down, to my surprise it actually wasn’t. It was well written and really enjoyable to read in my opinion. I think because The Joining has been hyped up by the fandom to be this super intense and smutty experience it was really refreshing to not have that. It was hot don't get me wrong but just in other ways. The banter between Casteel and Kieran during it was so them, I'm glad they were like that and when they were teasing Poppy it just felt so right. Might sound a bit strange but just my opinions.
Oh my goodness, when Poppy went full Primal and summoned Sera?! I was like “YES GIRLLLLLLLS” honestly, what a moment.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts. I’m really interested to see other peoples point of views on the book and what scenes you enjoyed / didn't enjoy as much as you thought?
