The Queen’s Assassin is a book that portrays the lengths that one will go to in order to keep their values of loyalty, commitment, love alive. The plot is multi-faceted which keeps the reader extremely engaged throughout each different layer of the story. I enjoyed the alternating perspectives that were followed throughout the novel and didn't find myself getting lost or confused in the shuffle at all. I thought the characters were very well-developed and I love that our main character strives to achieve more than her given role. The romance was a nice touch to the book in some places but I didn't always find it completely necessary. I loved this book and I'm really excited to see where this series goes in the future!
