But first, she’ll need to retain her strength and muster up her resources and allies. Cérulia realizes now that her fate lies back home in Weirandale, where she is meant to retake her mother’s stolen throne. Still, while her quest for revenge may have almost gotten her killed, it did provide her with a new sense of clarity. Unfortunately though, the damage has been done, and Cérulia’s trauma is more than just the physical, as this setback has also demoralized her and made her doubt her purpose. Luckily for her, she is rescued by a group of travelers, who take her to be healed and nursed back to health. After the epic battle, Cérulia is left beaten, burned and, well…broken. The Broken Queen by Sarah Kozloff picks up not long after the end of the previous book, The Queen of Raiders. Pacing also took a hit as the author was clearly pulling things back, rearranging the stage in preparation for the next book, the conclusion. This one was still good but not my favorite, given the shift away from our main character to focus on some others. To start, I have to say I’m a little disappointed with this installment, considering how strong the first two were. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher. Book Review: A Broken Queen by Sarah Kozloff
