The Queen Will Betray You by Sarah Henning
The breathtaking sequel to The Princess Will Save You in the Kingdoms of Sand and Sky duology — a brilliantly-executed YA fantasy homage to The Princess Bride
To stay together forever, Princess Amarande and her stableboy love, Luca, must part: Amarande to reclaim her kingdom from usurpers, and Luca to raise a rebellion and find his destiny. Arrayed against them are all the players in the game of thrones for control over the continent of The Sand and Sky. Facing unspeakable betrayals, enemies hidden in the shadows, and insurmountable odds, their only hope is the power of true love…
This is a sequel so there are spoilers from book one below.
I liked this just as much as the first book. There was a lot going on and the pacing was good. I liked how they had to work with people they didn’t like and that they didn’t always realize who truly wanted to help them. Amarande was trying to find Luca after escaping. Luca and the resistance were planning on going up against the Warlord. And the adults were a mess as usual. I’m curious to see where the third book goes. Especially after the ending of this one. I didn’t see it coming.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
