If The Hunger Games and A Court of Thorns and Roses had a love child, it would be Trial of the Sun Queen. This gripping fantasy throws readers into a brutal competition where survival means outwitting both ruthless rivals and the whims of a powerful court.

The protagonist is instantly compelling—a survivor plucked from prison and forced into a deadly game she never signed up for. She’s smart, resilient, and just self-aware enough to know she’s being used as a pawn, but she refuses to go down without a fight. The court’s extravagance and the stark class divide add to the tension, making every moment feel high-stakes.

With a touch of steam, a dash of queer romance/lust, and an ending that leaves you desperate for book two, Trial of the Sun Queen is a thrilling ride from start to finish. If you love high-stakes trials, cunning heroines, and dangerously alluring Fae, this one’s for you!

It’s a fun read for sure, but predictable and lacks the world-building needed to really suck you in.

I enjoy the banter and the layers of plot. I go back and forth on liking Lor, but I find myself mostly rooting for her. It was a quick read with a good balance of description and dialogue.

Everyone is very one dimensional but the plot idea of hunger games meets the bachelor is unique.
