The Borealis Queen is a delightful read that exceeded my
expectations. It follows Nin's transformation into the Borealis Queen.
Yes, there are some possible plot holes that raise my
eyebrows and knock half a star for me, I still round it up. Although they
significantly distracted me, fortunately, the rest of the book still makes up
for them. For example, why would two prisoners have access to her weapon before
her battle when the enemies know well what she is capable of? The other
prisoner, access to her scout? The timeline of the princess's capture and how
her tribe has sort of recovered within a short period of time. The powerful and
conveniently forgotten sling through some moments like Artko's distraction and
final square off?
Besides that, it's a very well-written and enjoyable book.
When an enemy is conquered, others arise, keeping the readers on their toes.
Although many prominent characters are introduced along the way, they each hold
their own and are distinctive, leaving their own marks in the story. The story
is fast-paced and very imaginative. The battles are great, vivid, and I feel
like I'm there with them.
It's a very enjoyable read and worth every minute.
