Review: Richly eloquent

Kele Moon has written a sweeping and epic tale that captivates you from the first page until the very last. In The Queen's Consorts, the author has done an absolutely fantastic job of building a world that is so real and believable that I felt I was right in the middle of this enthralling story. The blurb lays out the basic facts, but the tale itself is so much more. I'm afraid that if I say or add anything more to it, I'll spoil it.This is an exceptional character AND plot driven story that sweeps from the lowest slums to the corridors of the rich and powerful. The richly detailed backstory lays a solid foundation for the solid and eloquently potrayed background to characters who are so complex and three dimensional that you feel drawn into their lives and can't help but cheer for them. The plot flows smoothly and seamlessly through a glorious tale that skillfully weaves political intrigue, betrayal, loyalty, love, passion, death, life, cruelty, and so much more into a beautiful and emotionally satisfying story that grabs hold of you from the beginning, sweeps you through the lush-sometimes cruel, sometimes sweet-landscapes and personalities that occupy this lovely book, until it finally turns you loose at the very end.The author's writing style is richly eloquent, highly original, elegantly precise, and complex, but clearly and easily understood and laid out. The sex is tender, loving, passionate, and hot enough to melt the screen right off your ereader!! I really like how the author takes an ordinary storyline and turns it into so much more! This is definitely NOT a paranormal fantasy meant for children, and the HEA ending is totally satisfying. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this sweeping, action-packed book and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something that is uniquely different to pass a few enjoyable hours with.Trish's 4 1/2 sweet pea review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=13266
