Reading Update – Kingsbane by Claire Legrand

Title Kingsbane

Author Claire Legrand

Description from Amazon

Rielle Dardenne has been anointed Sun Queen, but her trials are far from over. The Gate keeping the angels at bay is falling. To repair it, Rielle must collect the seven hidden castings of the saints. Meanwhile, to help her prince and love Audric protect Celdaria, Rielle must spy on the angel Corien―but his promises of freedom and power may prove too tempting to resist.

Centuries later, Eliana Ferracora grapples with her new reality: She is the Sun Queen, humanity’s long-awaited savior. But fear of corruption―fear of becoming another Rielle―keeps Eliana’s power dangerous and unpredictable. Hunted by all, racing against time to save her dying friend Navi, Eliana must decide how to wear a crown she never wanted―by embracing her mother’s power, or rejecting it forever.

Current Chapter

I just started chapter 9 of this book. I am listening to the audiobook during my commute and I started on Tuesday morning. I think I’m making good progress so far.

Thoughts so Far

I had a total 180 on the queens. I thought Eliana was super annoying in Furyborn and I really liked Rielle. Eliana in Kingsbane >>>> Rielle.

Rielle is such a brat so far and Eliana is growing up so much.

Things I Want to See

Zara’s backstory. We got a little of it so far, but I want more.

No more love triangles. I’m over them. Corien or Audric. Harken or Simon. Just pick someone and stick with it!

Since I’m not super far into this book, I don’t have that many ideas of what I want to see yet.

More to come 😉.
