Description

With an already established large fan base, Fallen Queen is a bestselling epic fantasy in Korea

The inevitable encounter of two knights and their queen who rose from death to continue their love and war from centuries ago

Fallen Queen will make readers root for its remarkable heroine with a dark past, in a richly built world full of intrigue, cocky knights, and a war that threatens bringing her secrets to light

An eighteen-year-old daughter of a horse dealer, Reuyen Detua, is the reincarnation of Queen Swan Sekalrid Rarkalia. Queen Swan was beheaded by her own husband two hundred years ago for being a tyrant after years of conquest that left the country neglected.

Reuyen faces an impasse between Paseid Calandok Brionake, in whom she sees sides of her stoic, calculating, and cold husband who truly was thoughtful and kind, and Balroid Peijak Mariposa, her previous half-brother and “the queen’s knight,” who begs for her love while showing unbridled hatred for his motherland.

The clash of the three marks the beginning of a distressing, violent, vicious war, much like their love.

Reuyen once again holds up her royal sword and forges destiny. The unexpectedly intricate epic will reveal itself as the story follows Reuyen’s battles.

Thank you to Netgalley and  POPPYPUB for giving me an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This story is about Queen Swan, a war genius whose obsession with winning and her country makes her ending up being killed by her husband to protect Rarka from her hands.l. Two-hundred years later, the queen reincarnates in a girl, Reuyen, from a small town, daughter of a horse dealer and, being aware of her mistakes, decides to take a life far away from war. Unfortunately, her desires are threatened when her older brother dies in the war and she ends up having to use her old memories and abilities fo fight again.

I just want to start saying that I read this book in one day. It has been amazing, I loved it from the beginning until the end. The book is built with tension and information new information and adventures appearing all the time, the fact that kind of went back and forward from her different lives was something I appreciate and once I started, I could not stop reading.

The first chapters showed me how this book will go and I am sure that there is a lot more to come, that I would love to read.

Reuyen was a female character that I found to be well constructed, her whole persona was completely on point in every single page, I can not say it anything bad about her apart from my wish to know more about her past and her mind.

I have to say I liked the other characters too, although I found quite annoying the fact of them being all men (I think this will change in book two, or at least, I hope about it). I was wondering if there was going to be a love storyline somewhere... but I can wait because I felt like there was no need to have one because of the way the book is structured. 

If I have to say something bad it would be the ending... IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS, I need to know more!!! OMG, I feel like I can't wait to read the second part of this saga.
