Queen of Coin and Whispers follows newly crowned Queen Lia and her spymaster Xania. I started the book and thought I would love it. The first few chapters I couldn’t put it down. The first 20% were so good. I really loved it and then…it was getting more and more boring… It is written in Lia’s and Xania’s first person narration. Interesting idea! But they sound exactly the same. I often had to ask myself is it Lia oder Xania now. And I always has known what they were feeling for each other, there were no suprises. In my opinion only one POV had been the better option for this story. The court intrigue was okay, but there were no big suprises at the end. It was predictable. All in all there is a lot of potential in the writing of the author. Thanks Netgalley for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book was quite enjoyable. At some times I struggled a bit to read it, because it is very heavy on the political side of the story and the romance takes a while till it really is mentioned and starts rolling. Loved how many queer people existed in that book and how the kingdom had no problem with these relationships. It was nice to see a different struggle for the two characters as why they couldn’t be together. So if you have no problem with a lot of political content and struggles of a new monarch, you should try this book out.
