She becomes entangled in the murder plot after the betrayal of her mob-boss friend Mackiel and joins forces with the unsuspecting messenger, Varin. Keralie is a teen on the run turned common thief in the quadrant of Toria (the shipping/trade/curious quadrant). The problem is, again, we just don’t spend enough time developing these quadrants to really immerse in any real world building.Īs the title suggests, someone is murdering these four queens, and it is a race to determine who the killer is. Each quadrant is a seemingly different fantasy concoction ranging from the primitive no tools, no technology Archia to the hyper tech, high intelligence, android Eonia. We have four queens that rule the four quadrants of Quadara.

This novel tries to be too many things at once in order to wrap up in its 400 page constraint that everything is done so thinly and rushed. I feel really frustrated by Four Dead Queens.īecause this had so much bloody potential that I feel was completely let down by annoying, and eventually, damning issues.
