Zusammenfassung
The Scorpion Queen is a sweeping fantasy novel imbued with darkness but full of heart. Mina Fears breathes life into a sprawling and treacherous world in this compelling debut. You'll find yourself fiercely rooting for Amie, a valiant protagonist torn between her first love and the alluring princess fighting to end her father's brutal marriage trials. I loved this story.
