Growing up in Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are born with a talent for one of the five passions\u2014art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge\u2014Brienna struggled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, Brienna\u2019s greatest fear comes true: she is left without a patron.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Months later, her life takes an unexpected turn when a disgraced lord offers her patronage. Suspicious of his intent, she reluctantly accepts. But there is much more to his story, for there is a dangerous plot to overthrow the king of Maevana\u2014the rival kingdom of Valenia\u2014and restore the rightful queen, and her magic, to the throne.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">With war brewing, Brienna must choose which side she will remain loyal to: passion or blood.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Series:<\/b> The Queen&#8217;s Rising (Book 1)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Genre:<\/b> YA Fantasy<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Publisher:<\/b>&nbsp;HarperTeen (February 6, 2018)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Page Count:<\/b>&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">464 pages<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I actually had the chance to meet the author of this book while going to an event for Victoria Aveyard. I got an autograph for Rebecca Ross for a friend and then she recommended I read her book and I\u2019m so glad I did! And I\u2019m also happy because she\u2019s a local author who\u2019s published a book that isn\u2019t riddled with content with Harper Collins. So inspiring.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Plot:<\/span>&nbsp;There&#8217;s a lot of mystery in this book so it&#8217;s tough to comment on too much without spoiling. XD I like that Brienna isn&#8217;t the heir to the throne yet she still has an important enough of a role that she&#8217;s right to be the main character. The plot is wrapped in politics, mystery, magic, and suspense. It&#8217;s definitely a fun and unique vibe.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">The Characters:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I really love Brienna and relate to her a lot. We&#8217;re both tall and we were both born out of wedlock, so I get a lot of her struggles. Also, it&#8217;s just nice to have a tall protagonist. I feel like most protagonists are short in YA. All of the side characters are unique and fun as well. I love Jordain, Merei, and Luc in particular. I almost cried in a scene between Brienna, Jordain, and Luc, and I love the sisterly moments between Brienna and her passion sisters. It&#8217;s so refreshing to have characters who are noble and brave while still being realistic and authentic. The villains are dastardly and are definitely formidable foes. I can&#8217;t talk too much about them cause spoilers, but trust me here.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">The Setting:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;I love the setting so much. It&#8217;s a mix of France and Scotland and it&#8217;s so cool with a mix of 1600s and a bit of Medieval flair. I love the differences in cultures and the woad and the society that&#8217;s focused on passions. I love it all. I also really like how the arts are so revered in this society as are women in general. There&#8217;s not the typical women are oppressed and can&#8217;t do anything in society trope. Women are awesome and so there.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">Epic Things:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I love warpaint so much and I also like how the origin of handshakes is mentioned that you shake the hand of a person to check if they have any weapons up their sleeves. I also love the sword Widow&#8217;s Bite which has a black widow in amber on its pommel. So. Sweet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">The Theme:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">A big part of it is plans not going the way you want them to but becoming better. Brienna trained most of her life to passion and to receive her cloak, but it doesn&#8217;t happen and she has to accept a new destiny, but she realizes it&#8217;s better than she expected. I also relate to this personally in my writing career.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">Content Cautions:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">This book is refreshingly clean. There&#8217;s no swearing or severe sexual content. There is some gore since battles and fights do take place, including blood spray, blood from knives and arrow wounds, an arrow protruding from an eye, rotting body parts, and face split in half by magic (not described in detail). On a side note, a character is stabbed by a knife and she mentions how she doesn&#8217;t feel the wound. This is realistic because adrenaline kicks in to dull the pain. I actually know someone who was severely stabbed and mentioned this.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">What We Can Take Away For Our Writing:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>Turning Fantasy Tropes Around &#8211;<\/b> Ross really turned a lot of common tropes around like having the protagonist be royalty, having women be oppressed in society, and art frowned upon.
