QUEEN OF CHAOS Review


Persepolae has fallen.

Karnopolis has burned.

As the dark forces of the Undead sweep across what remains of the empire, Nazafareen must obey the summons of a demon queen to save Darius's father, Victor. Burdened with a power she doesn't understand and can barely control, Nazafareen embarks on a perilous journey through the shadowlands to the House-Behind-the-Veil. But what awaits her there is worse than she ever imagined…

A thousand leagues away, Tijah leads a group of children on a desperate mission to rescue the prisoners at Gorgon-e Gaz, the stronghold where the oldest daēvas are kept. To get there, they must cross the Great Salt Plain, a parched ruin occupied by the armies of the night. A chance encounter adds a ghost from the past to their number. But will they arrive in time to avert a massacre?

And in the House-Behind-the-Veil, Balthazar and the Prophet Zarathustra discover that they have more in common than meets the eye. But is it enough to redeem the necromancer's bloodstained soul and thwart his mistress's plans?

As a final showdown looms with Queen Neblis, the truth of the daēvas' origins is revealed and three worlds collide in this thrilling conclusion to the Fourth Element series.





A BIG FAT 5 STARS FROM ME!!
* * * * *

I'm not into the whole reword the back cover thing...so for a recap, check out the blurb above ;)

Let me just say, what an amazing series! I haven't gone into that utterly engrossed, ignore-the-kids-mode in a while. This book did it. I read like a maniac. Seriously, it's an epic journey that is right up there with great fantasy classics if you ask me! I loved the characters, they are strong and well-developed. The world-building is fantastic. I was legitimately sad when it was all over.

I've said this before, about the other books, but the depth of this world reminds me of the Lord of the Rings series. It's really fleshed out and vivid.

Please be more...I'm not ready to be done with these characters.

Someone needs to make a movie out of these books. Get on it Hollywood.
