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.
The Kingmaker Chronicles series is a top fave of mine in fantasy romance
so you can imagine how excited I was when I heard that we'd be getting a
new spin-off book!!! 😆
A Curse Of Queens features Jocasta - a talented healer and princess, who's
determined to find a cure for the curse that threatens Cat(who's the queen
and her sister-in-law) and Flynn - captain of the guard and one of her
brother's best friends! These two have known each other since childhood
and there's so much pining on both ends, but for a variety of reasons
they've maintained an uncomfortable distance from each other. But, don't
worry that doesn't last long 😂
So, Jo along with Flynn, Carver, Bellanca and Prometheus set off on a
journey to find a solution for Cat's curse and they have to face a lot of
challenges and trials on the way. Technically this can be read as a
standalone but it'd be even more enjoyable if you read the previous
books(featuring Cat and Griffin's story)! I love Amanda Bouchet's writing
and I was glad to be back in this world that features Greek mythology and
many other unique elements!
I think my favorite part about this book was seeing the sides of Jo and
Flynn that I hadn't seen before! Their inner struggles and feelings made
them so real and they grow so much through the course of their journey! Jo
is different from Cat as she might not have magic and ass-kicking skills,
but she had a special kind of strength and confidence! Flynn was just as
complex but so sweet at the same time. And these two together - oof! So
much longing and pining lol😆 Totally loved the romance!
Just like the other books in the series this one also has an amazing mix
of adventure, magic, romance and friendship! Carver and Bellanca were
always pulling each other's pigtails and constantly bickering! I hope they
get a book of their own!
I'll just stop gushing about this one here, but please do pick this or the
whole series up if you're in the mood for some amazing fantasy! You'll
definitely love it!✨

Amanda Bouchet grew up in New England where she spent much of her time
tromping around in the woods and making up grand adventures in her head. It
was inevitable that one day she would start writing them down. She writes
what she loves to read: epic exploits, steamy romance, and characters that
make you laugh and cry.
Amanda is a French master's graduate and former English teacher. She lives
in Paris, France with her two bilingual children who will soon be correcting
her French.
