Review: The Queen of All that Dies - Laura Thalassa

The Queen of All that Dies by Laura Thalassa
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

The Queen of All that Dies by Laura Thalassa was a quick read for me in an exciting and unique book. The world has ended as we know it, the Eastern and Western Hemisphere have been at war for years and left the land uninhabitable, millions of people dead and only one person in power…King Lazuli. King Lazuli is ruthless and takes what he wants, when Serenity Freeman and her father turn up as representatives of the WUN (Western United Nations), he knows that he will stop at nothing to have her! Bit Serenity is not so easily swayed and they [lay a type of cat and mouse game, only with supremely high stakes!

I really liked reading about Serenity’s character. She is hard, strong and doesn’t take any rubbish from the King. In fact, she gives as good as she gets, a true warrior! Throughout the story she continues to fight her attraction to the King, and it is only through manipulation from both sides of the camp that Serenity’s feelings change for him.

King Lazuli is also a unique character. We learn more about him and his background as the story goes on and although he has an insta-type of love for Serenity, he definitely has to work for it. He is pure destruction wrapped up in some sexy arrogance.

The story has a lot going on in it, from both sides as we see why people go to war and the repercussions it has. As well as watching people being played like a game of chess for the ‘greater good’, friends become enemies and enemies become friends in this action-packed book. There are also some heart-breaking moments, especially with Serenity’s father as well as Serenity itself and a lot of mystery that surrounds the King and his long life. You’re going to have to read it to find out what happens and then read the next book in the series as we’re left with an epic cliff-hanger. Another great read from a great author.
