Monster, Monarch, Maiden by Rae CarsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bria has been living a quiet life at her family’s inn when they are attacked, and she is taken captive. She doesn’t know how she is going to get away when she is rescued by a stranger. Bria doesn’t have anything to return for, so she swears herself to Titus as a shield maiden. As their journey continues, she is given the choice to abandon her oath or follow a new path. Who is this mysterious man? Will their quest be successful?
Monster, Monarch, Maiden is a stand-alone fantasy novel with just a little bit of world-building at the beginning of this story. I enjoyed following Bria along as she discovered new truths about herself and the world she loved. Carson has crafted a one-and-done story that almost made me wonder if it was going to continue. I good fantasy read for those who don’t want to delve into a series.
