The Kingmaker Chronicles is one of my favorite fantasy series, so I was excited when I saw that Amanda Bouchet was writing Jocasta and Flynn's story. I couldn't wait to get back into the amazing, and intricate world Amanda had created. I wanted to see what all my favorite characters were up to. This book is pretty long and I am really happy about that. The author took the time to set everything up and delivered a very magical action-packed novel. Jo has had a thing for Flynn since forever, however, Flynn is very hesitant to open himself up due to him losing his whole family. He is afraid to love because that will mean that there is a chance something could happen to that person.

“I claim you, Jocasta. You will be the sun I orbit for the rest of my days. I will be your home, wherever we are and wherever we go. I will protect you. I will love you. I will always be yours.” Voice low, unsteady, he rasped, “I vow this with every part of my body and soul.”

When the Queen (and main character in the previous three books) is cursed Jo, Flynn and others go on a mission to find an antidote to the curse. I really love when characters travel through different worlds and we meet all kinds of mythological creatures and gods. There was no boring moment in this book and I was hooked and dedicated until the end. Amanda Bouchet has become a favorite author of mine and I love how unique and intriguing her stories are. The ending leaves possibilities for many other books set in this world and I look forward to reading all of them. I need to know what is going to happen to many of my favorite side characters. A Curse of Queens is in my opinion a perfect addition to the Kingmaker Chronicles.
