3.5 Star
Humans were hunted by the elves for centuries until a deal
was struck that one specific woman would be selected to be queen. The queen was
there to help the elf king. For the woman it is a death sentence. Luella is glad
she isn’t this woman and spends her days learning herbology and how to take
care of the towns people. Until one day it is discovered that she was the one
marked to be queen. Taken from all she’s known and just wanting to go home she
is very confused by her new role. She plans on finding some way to get out of
Midscape and go home to her people. Will the elf king Eldas be able to help Luella
get everything she wants?
This book is listed as a YA book, but it doesn’t read as a
YA. It very much reads as a fantasy book for an adult. The only thing that
might label it as a YA would be Luella being 19. There is a lot of adult
content in the book. It is a riff off of Hades and Persephone. Eldas being
Hades coming and taking Luella away from her life. Luella eventually falls for
Eldas and doesn’t want to leave him just like in the myth. Overall, the story
was interesting take on the myth, and it was enjoyable.
