Some Quotes
She’d seen warriors like him set sadness aside like they were taking off a pair of boots for the night.

It was all Vahly could do not to cut that elf down right then and there.
What’s interesting in Queen of Seas is that you start to see the impetus to Astrea’s behavior. There is a reason she is the way she is. She (almost) becomes a sympathetic character. She ruins any sympathy you might have found for her fairly quickly, but it is just another example of how well Ms Klapheke can write complex characters. Even evil ones. Initially, I was surprised that this wasn’t the final book in this story arc, but I am ecstatic that there will be another chance to connect with these characters.
It was hard to finish this book and know that I had to wait for the next one to come out.
What an adventure you with this story. It has you twisting and turning as you try to guess what is going to happen next. It is a stunning piece that leaves you wanting more. Our characters have grown so much and have such amazing personalities that can be felt throughout the story. It ends in a cliffhanger and I am sad I have to wait for the next book in the series but boy is this an excellent series. It is a must read where we have villains and heroes all around.
This is one hell of an amazing series! Its fast paced and filled with tons of action in this incredible world that the author has built! A truly epic fantasy with kick ass main characters and a fantastic storyline that once you start you will not be able to put it down and this third book is every bit as amazing as the first two! Danger, betrayal, friendship and love, this has something for everyone and I cannot wait to read the next book or recommend this series enough!
Vahly is back and fighting for her life and everyone she knows again. I loved the action, suspense, and uncertainty of this series and this book especially. I love all the characters both good and bad as they are so compelling and fun. The story line was amazing as usual and kept me reading to the end just to see how evil the Queen would be and what Vahly will have to overcome.
Holy flying dragons what a thrill! I’m so amped up right now and dying…absolutely dying for the next book. I love the chemistry between Vahly, Arc, and Nix but several other characters captured my heart too and really shined through. I rarely cry when reading but this book had me tearing up twice. Don’t worry, the sly, sassy one liners and flirting will lift your spirits right up and return the smile to your face. I loved the action, comradery, twists, and upheaval and am left with the feeling of an epic LOTR-level adventure. If you love high fantasy, this is an absolute must-read!
A fantastic story full of love, loss, second chances and high stakes suspense. I loved the flow of the story. The characters were fearless and showed great strength and courage never giving up despite the odds.
