Today is Friday again, so you know what I’m going to do… fangirl! Today we’re going to talk about my favorite book I read in February. Fangirling on Friday is hosted by Books in the Skye!
And my favorite book from last month was… Four Dead Queens! I saved the best for last in February, considering this book didn’t come out until the 26th and I technically didn’t finish it until 2:30 AM on March 1st. But I hadn’t gone to bed yet, so I still consider it to be part of February.
Anyway, I read eight books in February, and while a few of them were very good, there were three that were just “meh”. So overall, it wasn’t a great month, but Four Dead Queens was definitely one of the highlights.
I had been hearing about this book since last May, and that’s a lot of early buzz for a debut author. I was a little bit nervous to start it, but I was not disappointed.
The book takes place in Quadara, which is a unique world where the inhabitants live in different quadrants and have different traits (a little like Divergent). While I first thought all the different queens and quadrants would be confusing, it really wasn’t.
The ending had something of an Enchantée vibe to it, where I knew the character had to get out of the mess somehow but the pages were ticking down and… how was this going to end?
Anyway, this isn’t my review to it, I just want to say how much I loved it, and I’m glad that it lived up to it’s hype!
Next week, for Dr. Seuss week, we’re talking about children’s books! I think.
