Review: The Queen`s Rising

The Queen`s Rising
Author: Rebecca Ross
Published On: 2-6-18
Audiobook: 12hr 51min
Narrator: Suzanne Elise Freeman
Synopsis: (Found on Goodreads):


Rating: 3.5/5
There is a few things I had a problem with and that is why there is a lower rating.
It wasn't until over 40% that I really got into the book. The middle 15% picked up the
pace and then by 76% I was hooked and wanted more of Mavan land.

The idea of Passions and being trained in a specific one is very interesting.
I liked the process as the struggle Brienna went through in finding her passion.
Her master in Magnolia House is Cartier. A man who is portrayed as being older
and wise beyond his years. A man who flirts with and has a connection to Brienna.
This is the part that bothered me and isn`t explained until later in the book.

The middle part of the book everything seemed to fall into place a little to
easy an there as a lack of character development for any of the secondary characters
who would play a huge role in Brienna`s life. Then you get the ending where we are
now located in Maevan Brienna`s home country. This is where the descriptions
become stunning. The scenery is described as is the war that is raging on.

I did enjoy the book hence the 3.5 star rating I just wish there was a little
better pacing and development. It was a long audiobook and the narrator helped
with story progression.
