Hidden power, court intrigue, a rebellion and spicy swoony romance kept me interested from the beginning until the end. 
Queen of Ever started right after the ending of the previous book with that massive blow of betrayal to our FMC, Imogen. 
 
Told in multiple POVs, we get a new set of characters and a new area to explore such as The Seelie Kingdom. 
The first half part is slightly slower but things gets a lot more interesting in the second half part where the rebel group was introduced. 
 
As for the romance, I really like seeing Imogen and Tarian interaction throughout the story as they clear out the misunderstanding and finally stand together. 
It also comes with a bonus of seeing Tarian grovel his way back to earn Imogen’s forgiveness and trust which lead to some spicy times! 
 
The last few chapters were very intense with shocking plot twist, show of power, and a large-scale war between the high and lesser fae. 
Although some things felt like already resolved, the epilogue seems to say otherwise so I’ll be looking forward to see where the story will go in the third book. 
 
Thank you to RR Book Tour and the authors for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
