A review by sixofwoes
The Dragon and the Queen by Kaitlyn Davis

4.0

“The connection between them burned as bright as ever, two hearts and two minds formed into one. A king of fire. A queen of snow. Two equals bound by trust."

4⭐️

This was another solid sequel to the Raven and the Dove series. Kaitlyn Davis has expanded on the avian world and mages in a really satisfying way. I liked reading from all of the perspectives, even the diary entries from the world years ago.

It was great to see Lyana and Rafe both on their journeys to fulfil the prophecy, and Xander stepping into his role as a leader. And I enjoyed both of the couples’ dynamics. I felt bad for Cassi though, who, despite her awful actions in the past, truly thought she was saving the world.

It’s amazing how the author manages to make you hate a character in one book, and then sympathise with them in the next. This happened with Malek, who I despised in the last book, but liked and understood more in this one. I liked the discussion of forgiveness and the blurring of the line between good and bad.

With an explosive ending like that, I cannot wait to read the final book in this series. It will be very interesting to see how it all wraps up, and what will become of these characters.

Thank you to the author for providing an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
