Summary from Goodreads:
The highly anticipated sequel to The Queen’s Rising!
Finally, Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is settling into her role as the daughter of Davin MacQuinn, a disgraced lord who returned to Maevana to reclaim his house. Though she’d just survived a revolution, one that will finally return a queen to the throne, she faces another difficult challenge. She must prove herself trustworthy to the MacQuinns. But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest confidant, she’ll have to balance serving her father’s house as well as her country. And then there’s Cartier, a wholly separate but desirable factor in her new life.
Aodhan Morgane, formerly known as Cartier Évariste, is adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in Valenia as a master of knowledge and his current one as the lord of a fallen house. During his castle’s restoration, he discovers a ten-year-old boy named Tomas, whose past and parentage are a complete mystery. So when Cartier’s former pupil Brienna is as taken with Tomas as he is, he lets his mind wander—what if he doesn’t have to raise him or his house alone?
As the Lannon trial rapidly approaches, Brienna and Cartier must put their feelings aside to concentrate on forging alliances, executing justice, and ensuring that no one interferes with the queen’s coronation. But resistance is rumbling among the old regime’s supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the rebels’ forces. And nothing makes a person more vulnerable than deep-seated love.

Review:
I had such high hopes for The Queen's Resistance.
The first book in the duology, The Queen's Rising, was so intricately written and beautifully woven together to create such a unique world and captivating characters. It was because of my high hopes for this book that I was greatly let down in the end. I didn't feel the same spark (of interest) in this book like I did with TQR. Honestly, the characters felt in a way bland and disinteresting. They failed to capture my attention long enough to generally care about the overall scheme that was supposed to be unfolding within the plot. There was also a lack of mystery and suspense of what will occur next.
With all that being said, it was still an overall okay book to read. I just couldn't find myself getting into the story. Who knows, maybe this is the perfect book for you.

★★★
