Synopsis
A kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood.
The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes.
The king's three daughters—battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia—know the realm's only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted.
Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war—but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided.
I received with thanks an ARC copy of The Queens of
Innis Lear from HarperCollins UK & Netgalley.

“A
kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood”
They were not joking around
with that quote.
I love Shakespeare’s plays so when I was told that we
would have a full book based on King Lear I jumped at the chance to read the
book. This book was amazing and it did not disappoint me at all. I would recommend
looking up King Lear in Wikipedia or another site to if you have never read
King Lear this does help. The three sisters are brutal and ruthless, and I could
not choose which one I loved the most as the are so enjoyable to read about. They
are strong feminist characters who can hold their own. The writing is so beautiful,
and I could not put this down and I did not want this book to end. I will defiantly
be buying this when this is released, and I know that I will be reading this
again before the year ends.
Great book for fantasy lovers of YA high fantasies and Shakespeare.
