The Half-Hearted Queen (The Shattered King Book 2)

Cher to you

A Great Second Edition to the Shattered King

"I enjoyed reading the two books so much. The writer has created a wonderful story, and the main characters filled my heart with emotion. I would recommend this book to anyone teenage or older who loves to read an unusual story that takes you somewhere far away from your daily struggles and fills your mind with hope and imagination.

fantastic conclusion!

"As with most books by this author, I enjoyed the creative world-building of her storytelling. I get the feeling of content from a tale well told & the let down of knowing it will be some time until I read something this imaginative again. The characters are relatable yet unique, the chapters fluid and engaging. Absolutely recommend, & will likely re-read again in the near future! ["

A great conclusion!

"This was definitely a great conclusion to the duology! This book felt a lot darker than the first but let's be real it handles a lot of really dark themes I think the author handled really well. The war felt realistic and the stakes were hiiiiigh. I loved all of the characters, they were well fleshed out and the world felt super rich. I always love this authors writing, she is an automatic buy for me always! And this duology was no different, so good! ["

Charlie Holmberg does it again!

"Charli Holmberg is absolutely the most creative fantasy writer. Her innovative, out of the box manifestations of magic characters and the magic they wield is so mysterious and out of the ordinary that I can’t put her books down. The Shattered King and Half Hearted Queen are no exception. Her stories weave us through impossibilities surrounded by evil, goodness, and romance, which, in this case, the readers are never sure is going to come to fruition. There is a lot of heartache, tragedy, and uncertainty along the way. This book depicts moments of horror and violence more than Ms. Holmberg’s other series, which is softened by how it affects her characters. In the end, it is a worthy tale, and I cant wait for more of Miss Holmberg’s creative stories! ["

The endless weeping!

"I liked the first book but did not like The Half-Hearted Queen. The endless weeping! I felt like the main character was in tears for the majority of the book. The writing felt off- too much filler. It felt like the author handed it off to someone(AI?) to fill in the blanks so it didn't have the same feel as an author invested in their own story. Really a shame as the story could have been so much better. ["
