Annie 's Reviews > The Queen's Weapons

What a journey this series has been! With THE QUEEN’S WEAPON, Anne Bishop returns to the Black Jewels world. Now I will say that this series can be a little dark, but if you’re a Fantasy lover like me, then I don’t think that will be a problem.

A lot of great elements are interwoven into this book. I love the writing and the characters, but I also feel like the backstory or characterization of the character can seem a bit similar sometimes. For example, all the characters are quite dark, making this entire series feel very heavy. I wonder how different it would be if there was more light in the series. Would the darker characters seem more dark? Would there be more variation? I hope to see something a bit more from the characters than just a tortured past and/or bleak future, just so that there’s more variation within the cast.

Nevertheless, this Fantasy series is one of my favorites in the genre. If you like engaging plot with complex characters then I don’t think you want to miss Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels’ world. It’s rife with mystery and magic, making it easy to devour.
