“You’re the only creature on the Earth that’s been given the opportunity to view this war from two pairs of eyes. Don’t blind yourself to one to uphold the lies of the other.” 

 

“The Mortal Queen,” by Ashley Metzler 

 

I liked the plot of the book about the human princess and the fae king arranged marriage. I liked the mystery of how everything would unfold when the characters found out the motives of the other characters, good build up for that. The book blurb said it’s good for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Callie Hart; I wouldn’t say any of those authors can be compared to Ashley Metzler, its hard to say because this is the first book in the series but this story so far doesn’t feel as big plot wise and character wise to be compared to authors who write much bigger worlds, I just didn’t get the vibe for it. The biggest part that held me back from giving it a 5 star was that it was really slow at the beginning, the last half of the book though was really good and right up my alley. 4 out of 5 stars, definitely be reading book 2 in the series.
