Queen Takes Queen by Joely Sue BurkhartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Building a Home and Safety
This book is mainly about the building of a place of safety for Shara and her Blood. She has been led to a location to build a nest by Isis and she has to make it safe. Building a nest requires lots of blood (surprise, surprise), energy and sex. Whilst Shara builds her nest the raven she sensed when searching for the location to build it, arrives. That raven is Navarre a child of Morrigan and is also a druid who lives only as a spirit.
As Navarre joins Shara’s blood he brings with him a connection to Morrigan and her presence is felt quickly as the nest is constructed. I love Navarre as a character. He is easy going, grateful to have found a new home and fits in instantly with the group. He doesn’t rattle any cages, but brings power and loyalty to the group. He is not the only new Blood to attempt to join with Shara during this book, but he is certainly the easiest and quickest fit.
There is some pretty powerful magics being employed in this book and I really enjoyed the imagery used for conveying how that worked. It really drew me in and helped me picture the way Shara saw the magic that she practiced. Sometimes magic use in books can be confusing or a little ‘ta-dah!’ When a writer explains a magical process and I can envisage it, that makes me happy.
Once again, the book ends with a HFN and leads the reader onwards in desperation for the next book.
