![]() THE QUEEN'S SECRET was an good conclusion to this duology. With a little more consistency in character development and more development of the plot itself, this could have been a decent read. I'm really tired of conclusions of duologies being so rushed and not getting the ending that characters or readers deserve. ![]() ![]() I don't want spoilers, so I won't elaborate on that but I just did not love that ending. ![]() And all that rushing through the plot left me with an ending I found to be utterly inconsistent with the character development of the first book. Even Lilac and Cal had their self-pitying moments of miscommunication that was just so grating to read. Not just that, but the characters themselves were just awful. This book reads so dang rushed, like the author was just trying to finish it without tying up all the loose ends, of which there were an abundant amount come book's end. But other than that? Well, I was left wanting more from this book. ![]() Also, De l a Cruz's writing style and her worldbuilding are both pretty solid. I loved the forbidden romance between Lilac and Cal and all of the tension it caused both for them and for the plot as a whole. I liked the premise of Lilac having to juggle her love for Cal and her duty to her country and her husband. ![]()
