Monsoon Queen

Jo Carthage gives us a character of strength who has had no choice but to survive. A familiar tale no matter the time period. What sets the story apart is the rich history that the author has set Noor in. We get to taste, smell, and feel the culture of the time. We also feel the abuse and pain of being hated.

Once again, I don't pay attention to blurbs as I didn't realize this is book one in a series (smh). It doesn't so much end as an action cliffhanger as an emotional one for Noor. It will be interesting how the group moves forward and what the fallout will be for everyone. I'm excited.

I received a free copy of this book, and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
