Queen B’s Decree: Little known fact about me: I love the Disney movie, The Emperor’s New Groove. I say “no touchy” on the reg. So when I saw a romance based on the movie, I didn’t walk, I ran to read.
Qoya was an enjoyable and quick read. Azucena is our Empress, who is kidnapped and delivered to Rurac, essentially her prison guard. While no humans turn into llamas, they are the spirit animal of Zu, so they are very prevalent in the story.
The bickering between Zu and Rurac is such a fun example of enemies-to-lovers. The more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And their journey back to the palace is full of twists and surprises. I liked the inclusion of Peruvian phrases, cultures, and bit of history. Also this made me really want some potatoes, strangely.
Overall, a fun read with a cute little epilogue at the end. The only thing it was missing was Kronk.
