The Defiant Queen by L.R. Jackson
I had the pleasure of reading The Defiant Queen as an ARC in exchange for my honest review. While the story started off a bit slow for me, it quickly picked up and kept me eagerly turning the pages, wanting to know what would happen next.
Shaya, the main female character, worked on my nerves at times, as she found herself in an unfortunate situation due to a choice she made. Although Baas played a role in the circumstances leading up to that choice, he was left out of the decision-making process. Despite the consequences they both had to face, Baas remained unwavering in his love, protection, and defense of Shaya. Even in the face of her selfish decisions, he was willing to lay his life on the line for her, which made his character all the more compelling.
The story had twists and turns I didn’t see coming, which kept me engaged and on edge. One of the things I enjoyed most was how two people who were once lovers found their way back to each other. The emotional depth and rekindled connection between Shaya and Baas added an extra layer of intensity to the story, making their journey even more captivating.
This was my first read by L.R. Jackson, and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store next!
Thank you Black Odyssey for this ebook in exchange for my honest review
