What makes it feel YA, you ask? It’s written in first person, which is often a theme in YA fantasy. Kill the Queen is filled with action, intrigue, and page-turning delight that kept me up way later than I should have been each night. Despite the main character being 28 years old and there being a fairly generous amount of f-bombs, Kill the Queen still very much feels like a YA book.ĭon’t misunderstand, I’m not complaining! I love YA and am so pleased to say this doesn’t follow the boring slow-burn of typical epic fantasy.
It also happens to be Estep’s debut into the world of mainstream epic fantasy, having typically written in the young adult urban fantasy and paranormal romance genres.Īt face value, Kill the Queen doesn’t read like Sanderson, GRRM, or even Terry Brooks. Kill the Queen is Book 1 in Jennifer Estep‘s newest series, Crown of Shards.
