Queen B’s Decree: I’ve wanted Zenevieve and Stesha’s story since we first met them earlier in the series.
The first half of the story takes place in the past, before they are all trapped underneath the mountain. And since I knew what was coming in the present, I anxiously turned every page—knowing some angsty pain was coming. Because really, Stesha was so hardheaded, because anyone with EYES could see they were meant to be together.
So once we get to the present, Stesha is still punishing himself. And yet he didn’t grovel enough for me (you know I crave it). I totally understand that there was outside magic affecting their senses, but I wish Stesha had done more to make it up to Zen. She really deserved someone who was all in—regardless of fate or scent.
Overall, this was still a great addition to the series, and I’m hoping we get to revisit and see more dragons in the future!
