‘Nameless Queen’ by Rebecca McLaughlin

4 coins / stars


Book Blurb:

“One girl must make a name for herself--or die trying --in this royal fantasy where an unknown peasant becomes the ultimate ruler. But how long can she keep the crown if everyone wants her dead? Perfect for fans of Furyborn, Red Queen, and Everless.

Everyone expected the king's daughter would inherit the throne. No one expected me.

It shouldn't even be possible. I'm Nameless, a class of citizens so disrespected, we don't even get names. Heck, dozens of us have been going missing for months and no one seems to care.

But there's no denying the tattoo emblazoned on my arm. I am queen. In a palace where the corridors are more dangerous the streets, though, how could I possibly rule? And what will become of the Nameless if I don't?”


Review:

Our main character, who goes by ‘Coin,’ is truly a Nameless Queen; the three classes of people in Rebecca McLaughlin’s fantasy novel are Royals, Legals, and the Nameless.  Upon the death of the current ruler, she inherits a magical tattoo which puts her in a dangerous position.  As one of the Nameless, she has no rights, no job, no possessions, and no family.  Being identified as the next ruler, she is the envy and target of every Royal who believes the crown should have gone to someone else, and even those who want the crown for themselves.

This is a clean YA fantasy with a small amount of magic.  Available on January 7, 2020.

I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.  All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.  #NamelessQueen #NetGalley
