Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep Book Summary

Gladiator meets Game of Thrones: a royal woman becomes a skilled warrior to destroy her murderous cousin, avenge her family, and save her kingdom in this first entry in a dazzling fantasy epic from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Elemental Assassin series—an enthralling tale that combines magic, murder, intrigue, adventure, and a hint of romance.

In a realm where one’s magical power determines one’s worth, Lady Everleigh’s lack of obvious ability relegates her to the shadows of the royal court of Bellona, a kingdom steeped in gladiator tradition. Seventeenth in line for the throne, Evie is nothing more than a ceremonial fixture, overlooked and mostly forgotten.

But dark forces are at work inside the palace. When her cousin Vasilia, the crown princess, assassinates her mother the queen and takes the throne by force, Evie is also attacked, along with the rest of the royal family. Luckily for Evie, her secret immunity to magic helps her escape the massacre.

Forced into hiding to survive, she falls in with a gladiator troupe. Though they use their talents to entertain and amuse the masses, the gladiators are actually highly trained warriors skilled in the art of war, especially Lucas Sullivan, a powerful magier with secrets of his own. Uncertain of her future—or if she even has one—Evie begins training with the troupe until she can decide her next move.

But as the bloodthirsty Vasilia exerts her power, pushing Bellona to the brink of war, Evie’s fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself . . . and kill the queen.

My highest accolade is.... The best thing I can say is that I cheered when I saw that book two had been published already. I picked up a copy of “Kill the Queen” at the 2019 Romance Writers of America conference, along with dozens (okay, 163) other books. I didn’t know what I was getting into - but the bliss of the book is that the lead is slippery as hell; I was sucked in and lost just pages in. Involving, fun, fast, clever. And smart. And well-written. There IS a romance brewing - but slowly. The book doesn’t follow the romance genre’s patterns (and there is a fantasy sub-genre on the romance pantheon), but I like these people and their motivations enough that I’m entirely pleased to let things simmer for a while. If I had a criticism, it’s that I find the motivations to be a bit opaque. A woman who has been deliberately assuming protective camouflage in a royal court for 15 years is unlikely (it seems) to suddenly bust out in impressive self-confidence; some of Evie’s actions seemed to defy the life she’d been leading. But as noted, the characters are all so well painted and so appealing that I blurred my eyes and kept reading. Happily. Now I’ve bought book two and I’m about to slip back into that luscious world. And I already know I’ll soon be cursing that I have to wait for book three. I say: BUY IT, reader!

Kill the Queen. Great read and classic finish. Sets up the next book, perfectly.

Great book. Well written and very entertaining

Not bad but not great. Nice story with lots of detail to the scenes. However parts of the story come off as if she is an amateur author. Not much build up in side characters or love interest.

Great story. I was surprised by this book. I was expecting more of a Gin Blanco type of character and situations but instead we get a woman tired of playing second fiddle and starts to stand up for herself one step at a time. The storyline is fun, entertaining, and has plenty of action for the action junkies. Does have a small romantic interest. I hope this won’t be the last of these characters.

Amazing!!. Looking Forward to the second book😊

Fantastic. Could not put this book down!! Thoroughly enjoyed every single second reading this book. It’s going to kill me to have to wait so long until the next book is out.

Everything and More!. I just finished reading this book and one thing is clear; I cannot find one fault with it. There were moments when I felt my patience with Evie waning but somehow the author's found a way to give the reader just the right amount of annoyance before she sucker punches you with what I deem as 'perfection' in my eyes. Seriously, just when you feel like you want to reach in there and shake the heroine, BAM! She straightens her shoulders and with a few words/actions; she shakes you back for your impatience and you look down awestruck that you only have about 3 pages left. That's how great this book is. One minute you're 45% through and the next thing you know you're 98% through it. This kept me at the edge of my seat, plus I read this in one sitting 😁, and I fell totally in love with the heroine and her troupe 😌. I hate that I have to wait a long time for the next one but wait I shall. A badass heroine with obvious character growth and integrity in spades? Yes, please. It's a must read. You will fall in love with these bunch of misfits just like I did. I recommend it to everyone barring those who dislike a bit of death in their books. Bellona was founded by a badass gladiator warrioress after all 🙂.

Only average. Too slow, and it hasn’t got that certain sparkle.

Good. Good

Kill the Queen. Fantastic book! I loved this introduction to Evie and the gladiator troupe. Very much looking forward to the next book, can't wait!
