The Girl who Stole the Queen's Eyes by Marilize LoxtonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Camilla is always being told she has beautiful eyes. She is told that so often that she doesn’t
think anyone notices anything else about her.
Things get weird after her eighteenth birthday. There are new people in town, she sees a
castle on the lake and she seems to control people who look into her eyes. Extine is the Queen of Escana. She is losing the power that put her on the
throne, but none of her children have come of age. If the queen doesn’t get control of her
powers, her kingdom will no longer stay hidden.
What is the connection between Camilla and Extine? Will Escana stay hidden or be revealed to the
world?
The Girl who Stole the Queen’s Eyes is a stand-alone
fantasy. When I read the description of
this book on NetGalley I thought it would be a great chance to try a new
author. The book had everything to make
a great book, yet it still fell flat. Now
that I got that out there, I still want to say I am glad I read the book. Loxton is a new author and I see a lot of
potential in her next endeavor. I look
forward to her next novel, whenever it is finished.
