My Thoughts

I have to say this book was not a favorite and I know for a fact I don't think I'm going to re-read this book anytime soon. I thought the book really strange and weird. Don't get me wrong some parts were good, like the ending. I just don't get the whole deal with the queen bedding a random guy and then turning out to be the king, but he's only king for 4 months and then the queen kills him. Seriously, I think the Queen has some issues to work out. That was really a major turn off when I was reading this book.
