Queen Takes Darkness by Joely Sue BurkhartMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sweet Short Novella
This is another short story (novella) from the Their Vampire Queen series. We read about Helayna who is trapped in the dark, slowly being consumed. She has forgotten who she is and where she came from. A being wants her to use her power as an Aima Queen to break free of her confines to destroy her prison. Helayna knows this is a bad idea, somehow. Trusting the voice of a Queen who calls to her in the darkness, she reaches for her Blood for the first time and calls forth beings that have slept for millennia.
I really liked how Norse mythology was employed in this short story. We heard about Helayna in a previous book within the series, but we didn’t hear how she escaped. Helayna was an abstract rather than a real character until this book was written. Joely Sue Burkhart does write a good short story and this was enjoyable as we learned about Helayna’s entrapment and the reasons for it.
This is a good short and fun read, a perfect snack of a story.
