There was definitely opportunity for Fine to build her world up, make it into something more. Some of the problems I had with the book included the ending and the world building. And speaking of Oskar! Oh boy, I just really love when there is a hunky, brooding man in a book. It made for a very interesting story with Sig and Oskar, two magic wielders Elli meets in the Outlands. This helped me keep turning pages because I just wanted to find out what the hell was happening! I also loved the idea of the Suurin. I knew the Elders had to be hiding something.
I was intrigued by the way the country was run because I could tell something was off. The basic premise of the story was very interesting. There was a science behind her magic and I really enjoyed that. I loved the idea of fire and ice magic and Fine’s ability to use those two powers to control so many other things. One that is commanded by magic wielders controlling fire and ice. Sarah Fine creates a very interesting world. In the Outlands she meets a group of people who teach her about power, love, and the secrets of the kingdom. Elli flees to the Outlands, ashamed of herself. However, when the Valtia does pass the power is not bestowed upon Elli, it is missing. The Impostor Queen follows the story of Elli, the girl chosen to become the Valtia, the queen who wields strong power, when the current Valtia dies.
But it lacked a few key factors that would have made it great.
With so many fantasy books coming out fighting for that spot on best-seller lists, a book needs to have something truly special to stand out in the crowd. I am not saying it was awful, it wasn’t, it was just okay. There was so much potential in this book too but it just didn’t do it for me. Although the synopsis of this book was awesome and enticing, it fell short of expectations. I was very much looking forward to reading this book. I even decided to read this one before some other very hyped books. The Impostor Queen by Sarah Fine Rating: 3/5
