 3.5 Star

Princess Bryony and her chosen have settled in the North has been interrupted by a visit from her grandmother and sister. Camellia. Camellia is even worse to her chosen Then before. Bryony finally wins her grandmother over before everything implodes. The council wants Bryony out as they can't control her. Her men are helping her learn more about her hunger and how to use it to help her people. With more chaos around her will they be able to find all the plots and keep everyone safe.

All the world building out of the way with book 1 made this book even better. Bryony does collect more men in this book. I am curious if she will get any more in the last book. I enjoyed seeing the growth of Bryony and her men. Having her grandmother finally except her was awesome to see. Seeing Bryony come into her own and learn more about who she is and who she wants to be also made the book good. The main points of the book are concluded but it ends with a cliffhanger esq ending where you're going to want to start the next one right away.

Queen's Line by Kathryn Moon

 

3 star

Bryony is the Princess of Kimmery. She's always been the odd one in her family as she's never been struck by the hunger. Without the hunger her grandmother isn't sure who will rule the Kingdom. Her grandmother forces her to select her chosen this year. She selects a random man she feels a connection to but refuses to bed them as she won't force them. When she hears to concoct news from the north and her "chosen" to concoct a plan to help those in the north and give Bryony a break. Will Bryony get the hunger?

This was an interesting new series. Bryony was a strong lead. There was good world building and the characters felt developed. It was interesting to see Bryony come into her magic. She does seem to collect men which was amusing since she didn't think she had a need for them. It will be interesting to see where the series goes.
