Haven (Chronicles of Warshard #1) by Katherine Bogle
Princess Haven was never meant to be Queen.
Her immortality has saved her time and time again, but when the last of her royal family dies at her feet, she is next in line to rule a nation on the brink of war. With no formal training on how to be Queen, Haven must rise to the occasion with the help of her best friends, and personal guard, or risk losing everyone she has ever loved.
With war to the West, and no escape to the East, the evil tyrant Kadia sets her sights on the six kingdoms. Haven’s neighbors are quick to fall under the swords of Kadia’s shadow soldiers, leaving a sea of bodies and a clear path to Haven’s only home.
As Kadia’s obsession with Haven mounts, little time remains, and Haven must make a choice; join together with her fellow Royals, and test her immortality in a final stand against the evil Queen, or flee across the sea to a foreign republic in hopes of salvation. Both choices have a cost. Both plans could go awry. Haven must decide quickly, or she might be the only one left.
I heard so much about this book I had to read it for myself to see what all the buzz was all about.
Political upheaval and transition into power Haven has a lot to deal with. Although some of the background could have used more development and Haven more personality.
I felt like the story and the world was intriguing, there was some intimacy love scenes but they felt a little off and not quite mature the book wasn't quite YA or NA but somewhere between.
Haven has a lot of potential for later installments to improve but it was a decent read.
