When it comes to fantasy, I always think of one author and that is Anne Bishop. Her Black Jewels series encompasses everything that I love about the genre and more. With multiple characters and storylines, it’s easy to get lose yourself in this world. Needless to say, the worldbuilding is amazing.
But for THE QUEEN’S PRICE, my favorite thing about this book was the characters. I was intrigued by Zoey and Jillian from the very beginning. There are other characters as well in this book that I enjoyed and found intriguing too, so I think that’s why I enjoyed this book so much.
I felt like Bishop did a wonderful job with the writing and the pacing of this one. By the time I was done with THE QUEEN’S PRICE, I found myself wondering what will happen in the next one. Because of the multifaceted world that Bishop has created here, I think there are a lot of possibilities for the future of this series. I definitely liked this book more than the last and would recommend the Black Jewels series to anyone who wants to try reading the fantasy genre for the first time.
Enter the dark and sensual realms of the Black
Jewels in this sweeping story in the New York
Times bestselling fantasy saga of three young
women who must navigate life within the powerful SaDiablo
family—and come to terms with Witch, the Queen who is
still the heart and will of that family.
The Queen's price is to stand
against what you know is wrong. To stand and fight, no
matter the cost to your court or to yourself. Especially to
yourself.
Zoey, a young Queen-in-
training at SaDiablo Hall, is wounded...and vulnerable to
taunts and criticism. When an opportunity arises to befriend
a stranger seeking sanctuary at the Hall, she puts herself
and others in danger by ignoring Daemonar Yaslana's warning
to back off.
Meanwhile, the witch
Jillian's family prepares for her Virgin Night, the rite of
passage that assures a woman will retain her power and her
Jewels. The trouble is Jillian secretly went through the
ceremony already. Now she has to explain the omission of
that detail to her powerful and lethal family. And
the High Lord of Hell's daughter, Saetien, travels to Scelt
to find out about Jaenelle Angelline's sister—and
perhaps to discover truths about herself.
With some guidance from Witch, these three young women
will learn when to yield because it is right—and when
to take a stand, even if they must pay the Queen's price.
