To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common\u2014magic.

To do that, Kol needs magic of his own\u2014and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman\u2014and bring her Lorelai\u2019s heart.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">But Lorelai is nothing like Kol expected\u2014beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable\u2014and despite dark magic, Lorelai is drawn in by the passionate and troubled king. Fighting to stay one step ahead of the dragon huntsman\u2014who she likes far more than she should\u2014Lorelai does everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen.

Redwine is coming to Realm Makers prompted me to finally read it and it is such a good book!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><!--more--><br \/>\nThe Plot<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">The plot held me throughout. It never seemed sag and kept a forward momentum. It played off many plot points of Snow White but took its own original twist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>The Characters<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">I love Lorelai. She\u2019s such a refreshing main character. She isn\u2019t bemoaning her insecurities and acting wild and crazy. She\u2019s a way more relatable teen for me personally. She always very analytical of the situation and she has a strong bond with her younger brother.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Kol is an amazing main character too. His sacrificial nature pulls at my heartstrings and he\u2019s so kind and mature. All of his backstory makes perfect sense for his personality and I love how he stepped up and took responsibility instead of cowering. Also, the fact that he can shift into a dragon is pretty freaking awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Irina is a really great villain. She\u2019s very believable and has a well-fleshed out backstory but she\u2019s still affirmatively a villain. Her obsession with hearts and apples are great references to the original Grimms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Sasha is my favorite character. She\u2019s Lorelei\u2019s gyrfalcon and I love her voice and bird-like nature so much. She\u2019s just fantastic.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">The other side characters are great too. Gabril, Jyn, Trugg, and Leo are all wonderful. Trugg made me laugh out loud when he reacted to something disturbing. \u201cOh, now that\u2019s not right.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Hearing her name, Sasha swooped down from a nearby tree and perched on Lorelai\u2019s shoulder. Stubborn human. Limp. Limp. Limp.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">I\u2019m trying to change that. Lorelai glared at Gabril.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Bribe with treat? Mouse? Rabbit?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Setting<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">The magic system of this world is just so cool. Everything from people to animals to land has hearts and magic entails people requesting the power of hearts or bending hearts to their will paired with incantors to create spells. The land is dying because its hearts have been misused by Irina.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">The Draconi shifters of Eldr are so cool and unique. They have dual hears, their human and dragon hearts, that are at war with each other and they come in all different colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nEpic Things<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">There\u2019s a part when statues come to life and it\u2019s just so super cool. And having a pet gyrfalcon that you can speak to with your mind is just awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>The Theme<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">This book focuses on grief and sacrifice. What the characters sacrifice for their countries is powerful and beautiful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\nContent Cautions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;\">Now this book is pretty clean. There\u2019s no swearing or sex scenes or stuff like that. There is some underage drinking and it\u2019s mentioned that two characters have an intimidate relationship and there\u2019s one kiss but the biggest concern would be some dark violent things that could be disturbing to more sensitive readers. People die by snake bite, a mother murders her children before they die of starvation and then commits suicide, hearts are ripped from chests, people claw their skin off, people are mind controlled to attack others, and ogres tear people apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\nWhat We Can Take Away For Our Writing<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b>Conveying Backstory and Details in Conversation &#8211; <\/b>Unlike in the last book I read this book did a great way of telling backstory naturally. Besides two characters being able to read each other\u2019s minds, they begin talking to each other about the small things like their favorite foods to get to know each other. This gave the reader a natural way to know these little details without feeling forced.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>This reminded me much of the famous scene with Katniss and Peeta when they talk about their favorite colors. When these characters have known each other for weeks or month but not really known them it\u2019s logical that they\u2019d ask each other these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Overall this book was super inspiring to me. It\u2019s a successful book published in the same genre and market as I\u2019m trying to get into by a Christian author who even manages to mention God as a higher power. If she can do it, I can too. Five stars!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"949\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/a-book-review-of-queens-resistance-by\/fiveinukshukrating-png-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FiveInukshukRating.png?fit=1396%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1396,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FiveInukshukRating.png\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FiveInukshukRating.png?fit=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FiveInukshukRating.png?fit=1024%2C367&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-949\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FiveInukshukRating.png?resize=1396%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1396\" height=\"500\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/CJRedwine.jpg?resize=133%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"639\" data-original-width=\"426\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b>C.J.
