The Unbroken Queen (The Bone Throne #1)
By: Terina Adams
Recommendation: 🌕🌕🌕 - (Out of 5 🌕)
Tressya has never really had a life that she could call her own. She is a princess but is the illegitimate daughter to the House of Tannard. Not only does Tressya have obligations to her family but she has also been trained as a disciple by the Sistern of Silence. The King's son will one day sit on the throne and his legitimate daughter has been promised in marriage to the prince of Tarragona in the hopes of forming a solid alliance. That was until the Mother of the Sistern intervenes, sending Tressya to Tarragona to meet her newly betrothed. Tressya knows that she and her family have been manipulated by the Mother to better an unknown cause supported byt the Sistern of Silence but she vows to serve her country in the role that has been placed before.
Tamas is the leader of a people who have existed for many centuries. Over time, his tribe have been forced further and further from their homeland, moving further north. The time has come for Tamas to lead his people in a battle to reclaim the Bone Throne, located in Tarragona. Tamas is descended from a long line of leaders. One of his ancestors was a human who mated with the Huungardred, a tribe of people who are half human and half beast. This gives Tamas a unique ability; he can shape shift.
The Unbroken Queen contains a large amount of unique mythology and background belonging to each of the main characters. The story is a romantasy with a dual point of view. I would give Tressya's chapters an actual rating of 3.5. Her back ground and storyline were easy to follow and flowed smoothly. Tamas' story was more confusing and slow. The mythos surrounding his people was reminiscent of the vikings but so much more; too much more. It was really too much to remember and stole from the focus of the main storyline. I like Tressya and Tamas together and enjoyed their joint chapters. I just really struggled with the Tamas centric chapters.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
