A Curse of Queens (Kingmaker Chronicles, #4)
Kingmaker Chronicles Book 4

Discover an all-new adventure in USA Today Bestselling author Amanda Bouchet’s thrilling, white-hot fantasy series, The Kingmaker Chronicles!

The queen has been cursed, and no one knows who’s behind the plot to threaten the realm’s fragile peace. Desperate to help, Jocasta hatches a plan to find Circe’s Garden, a fabled island where she hopes to discover an antidote. But she can’t do it alone. She needs the strong arm and unflinching bravery of the warrior she’s loved since childhood—her brother’s right-hand-man and captain of the guard, Flynn of Sinta.

Together they can do the impossible. Yet with treachery brewing on Mount Olympus, one thing is clear: Thalyria and its new royals are still pawns in an epic game of power—one that might end in a War of Gods.

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Amazing! Probably my favorite of the series! I did a reread of all the books in this series so I could remember everything when I got to this new one and it was so worth it. I loved Jocasta and Flynn in the first three books and I was so happy to hear they were getting their own story. Those two deserved a happy ending and getting them together was slow and worth the wait. So this story picks up not too long after the third book. But though Cat and Griffin united Thalyria, trouble is still brewing. The gods aren't so united as everyone thought. And because of that, Cat is paying the price. Someone slipped her a curse and no one, including the gods who maintain a physical presence in their life, seems to know what to do. But Jocasta isn't going to give up. In her determination, she figures out a plan to get what Cat needs. That will take her to Circe's Garden. An island no one has ever made it to and back or even thought to exist. But Jocasta believes it will hold the answers they seek. And she won't be going alone. Flynn, Carver, Bellanca, and Prometheus will make the journey together to save their family. This will also give Flynn and Jocasta a chance to finally face their feelings and their fears. No more hiding. No more being afraid. I loved this story! Jocasta and Flynn's romance was so sweet and you just wanted shake Flynn and tell him to take a chance! Their adventures were pretty awesome too. So many different mythological references and parallels to some of the greatest stories.  And that ending!!! Plot twists galore and the opportunity for more books. There better be a few more stories featuring certain people after everything that went down. I really hope this isn't the end of this series and world. And worlds really. Great series! And this was just another fantastic story in the series. Can't wait for more!
