Book Review: The King's Queen (Gate of Myth and Power #3)












Overall: 3.5/5

Plots and Themes: 3/5

Characters: 4/5

Writing Style: 4/5

Attention Grabbing: 3/5 

The King's Queen is the third and final book in the story for these two. They ended book two separated, knowing that they would be better off apart. But that isn't so easy, as things continue to go wrong and it continues to feel as though they belong together. 

I liked the other books in the series a lot better and this was a bit of a letdown. Sort of like a third act breakup but a third book in the series breakup. Where I don't even really know why they're breaking up because it really feels like it makes more sense to stay together in these trying times. But most of the book is that will they won't they despite knowing that they totally will because what kind of PNR would end on that sort of tragedy. Just felt like we were being robbed of a healthy dynamic. 

I still love the series and think this is particularly innovative magical concept, but I just wish we had gotten more of their relationship. I'm glad we got a little more of the sibling dynamic too but it all felt comparatively watered down. Disappointed but didn't exactly hate it.
