Four dead queens. Three days to catch a killer. Two forbidden romances. One shocking twist you won’t see coming. Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but she’s, in fact, one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of Quadara’s most enlightened region, Eonia. He runs afoul of Keralie when she steals a package from him, putting his life in danger. When Varin attempts to retrieve the package, he and Keralie both find themselves entangled in a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. With no other choices and on the run from Keralie’s former employer, the two decide to join forces, endeavoring to discover who has killed the queens and save their own lives in the process. When their reluctant partnership blooms into a tenuous romance, they must overcome their own dark secrets in hopes of a future together that seemed impossible just days before. But first they have to stay alive and untangle the secrets behind the nation’s four dead queens. An enthralling fast-paced mystery where competing agendas collide with deadly consequences, Four Dead Queens heralds the arrival of an exciting new YA talent.

Book 4 complete for O.W.L.'s 2019 Transfiguration - Red cover
Initial Thoughts: I did not know anything going into this book other than that I got it in my Owlcrate and people had mixed feelings about it. This book is kind of slow to start, but I really enjoyed the switching between Keralie and the queen's POVs. I also have to say I really enjoyed all the twists and turns. I never knew what to expect and there were many times I assumed one thing would happen and something completely different would happen. I love when a book is able to surprise me and also keep me in suspense. I think a huge part of my enjoyment of this book was the writing style. I really enjoyed how Astrid showed us things and developed the characters. I cannot wait to read more from them and see what they release next. I definitely will be buying more of what they write!
This book was way too boring for me. I just couldn't get into the characters. Unfortunately, this is another book going into my dnf pile. Sad!
Really nice book and totally unexpected plot-twist, I absolutely loved that! This book is full of betrayals, action, unexpected things happening, passion and everything you want!
Ondanks dat dit een alleenstaand fantasy boek is, werd toch een verbazingwekkend ambitieuze wereld opgebouwd. En met verve, want de schrijfster wist mij met weinig woorden toch helemaal mee te nemen in de verschillende culturen en personages. Echt heel goed opgebouwd en spannende unieke verhaallijn, die misschien iets te snel werd afgerond, maar toch heel goed steek hield en naar een bevredigende conclusie werkte.
Ik zou dit boek aanraden aan mysterie/thriller lezers die graag eens zouden proeven van een fantasy setting.
