The Queen’s Assassin is a story portraying loyalty, commitment, love and what lengths one will go through to keep those values alive.This theme takes form across multiple different characters throughout the journey of the book. The plot had multiple layers, which kept me interested in the story and the main characters were likable. The book was written alternating between perspectives but kept it easy to follow. There were several twists in the plot, some were easy to predict but the big twist was quite the surprise.
One thing that i really appreciated about this book was that Cruz gave the main girl a purpose beyond fulfilling what her “role” or “duty” to her kingdom was. The girl thrives for more than just being a beautiful princess and I think that is an important message to convey to the young adult community. In the same breath, i could have used a little less of the romance component because i wanted this to be more about defying her role than anything.
This book is kicking off a new series so the ending does leave you wanting a little more, but that is to be expected.
