The Promised Queen

The Promised Queen by Jeffe Kennedy Forgotten Empires #3 All good things must come to an end…unless this author decides to carry on with the other worlds mentioned in this trilogy and perhaps builds a spinoff to a delightful fantasy romance that ended just as it should by the end of book three of this series. What I liked: * Lia: a species I have never seen before with all the positive attributes necessary to make this story special. She and Con were perfect for one another. * Con: someone deprived of his birthright who managed to survive and perhaps thrive as a result of the horrific life he was forced to live. He was perfect with and for Lia. * The love that grew between Con and Lia * The magical elements of the story * Calanthe: home to Lia, an island, magical, and so much more * The mythology and prophecy of this series * The supporting characters – many could have stories of their own * The way that Con and Lia were there for one another * That good overcame evil * The way all the threads were tied up by the end of the series * Thinking about the future and the possibilities for Con, Lia and the others What I didn’t like: * Anure, the evil wizards, and the suffering they meted out on so many Could this series have been many books? Yes. Did it tell the story and do it well in three books? Yes. Will I miss spending more time with Con and Lia? Definitely Would I read more by this author? I am sure I would! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
