How sad is it, that I thought *why doesn't 'The Queen of Kings' sound as powerful as 'The King of Queens'? We have powerful Queens and women in powerful positions throughout our world, and yet, we are still conditioned to believe that men have more power. That's a wee bit sad...
The Kingmaker made me think about things like prejudice, inequality, injustice, bias and diversity. It also screamed at me that I have to start thinking more about our environmental issues. I'm in Australia and we've had some shocking fires recently that bring global warming to the front of our minds. Yet, we hop in our cars daily with little thought to the repercussions. Convenience is more important than our worlds longevity.
Anyways, I really enjoyed reading The Kingmaker. It's been a wee while since I've delved into a story like this and I liked the journey. This is not a romance where hearts overrule brains and leave you frustrated and shaking your head. This story is about setting yourself a path and not following the temptation of detours.
Yes, it did end on a cliffhanger but I could see it coming from a mile away. It made for a pleasant surprise that the cliffhanger didn't leave us suspended because of betrayal or heartbreak. I want to go on because I want this man to save his Queen.
The Kingmaker was fast-paced, exciting, thought-provoking and very sexy. The characters are interesting and I loved the connection between Nix and Max. I've already locked and loaded All the King's Men #2.
