I will say, that certain part of the ending is not permanent. Jodi Meadows SLAYS in The Mirror King (and I don't necessarily mean that literally - or do I?).ĭo I dare summarize this book? It starts exactly where The Orphan Queen ends, with that tragic and totally scary ending. How NOT to break your readers' hearts and yet, still twist their emotions and feels and have them hanging on desperately. Complex, heartbreaking, developed, gorgeous and so so so satisfying, in the end. You want to write a conclusion to a duology or trilogy or series in general? THIS is how you do it. *** Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***ĭear All Other YA Fantasy Authors: Take notes. In this stunning conclusion to THE ORPHAN QUEEN, Jodi Meadows follows Wilhelmina’s breathtaking and brave journey from orphaned criminal on the streets to magic-wielding queen. If she can’t protect both kingdoms, soon there won’t be a land to rule. Everyone thought the wraith was years off, but already it’s destroying Indigo Kingdom villages. Caught between what she wants and what is right, Wilhelmina realizes the throne might not even matter. Though she’s ready for her crown, declaring herself queen means war. Now there is a living boy made of wraith-destructive and deadly, and willing to do anything for her. Wil’s power is to animate, not to give true life, but in the wraithland she commanded a cloud of wraith mist to save herself, and later ordered it solid. When the Ospreys’ leader emerges at the worst possible moment, leaving Wil’s biggest ally on his deathbed, she must become Black Knife to set things right. After her identity is revealed during the Inundation, Princess Wilhelmina is kept prisoner by the Indigo Kingdom, with the Ospreys lost somewhere in the devastated city.
