The Impostor Queen cover - (un)Conventional Bookviews

The Impostor Queen by Sarah Fine

Sixteen-year-old Elli was a small child when the Elders of Kupari chose her to succeed the Valtia, the queen who wields infinitely powerful ice and fire magic. Since then, Elli has lived in the temple, surrounded by luxury and tutored by magical priests, as she prepares for the day when the Valtia perishes and the magic finds a new home in her. Elli is destined to be the most powerful Valtia to ever rule.
But when the queen dies defending the kingdom from invading warriors, the magic doesn’t enter Elli. It’s nowhere to be found.
Disgraced, Elli flees to the outlands, the home of banished criminals—some who would love to see the temple burn with all its priests inside. As she finds her footing in this new world, Elli uncovers devastating new information about the Kupari magic, those who wield it, and the prophecy that foretold her destiny. Torn between the love she has for her people and her growing loyalty to the banished, Elli struggles to understand the true role she was meant to play. But as war looms, she must align with the right side—before the kingdom and its magic are completely destroyed.

  1. I just read a review of this but I can’t remember where…it sounds pretty good and the reviewer said it was pretty good. I love it when you post WoW books that have a short wait time. 😉
    Happy Wednesday, Lex!! **BIG HUGS**

  2. I really, really, really want to read this one! I’m so glad it was released today! Now I have to convince my husband to let me buy it though, since I’ve promised to spend less money on books this year, ugh. Great pick! Here’s my WoW. Happy reading!

  3. I’ve seen this one around everywhere. I am sure I will grab it if my library gets it and eventually read it, but overall am in no hurry. Seems there are a lot of books focusing on kingdoms, magic, etc so I want to wait until some of the hype dies down. I am sure it will be good though and hope you love it!

  4. Ok so: I kept seeing this one around Lexxie but not really paying any attention to it for some reason. Sometimes I think we all have book blind spots like that? Anyway, seeing it here I finally read the blurb and well I GET IT NOW! This sounds really, really good! Thanks for bringing it to my attention and awesome pick 😀
