Gawain and Hwyfar were two of my favorite secondary characters in Queen of None so I was very excited about them being the focus in Queen of Fury. Just like in the first book, the world that Barron has built here is so easy to get lost in, especially if you’re a fan of Arthurian legend. The magic system felt A LOT more intricate than in the first book since we get to see more lands, which no complaints here, but you really do have to pay close attention. There were many things I loved about Queen of Fury, but the best part in my opinion were the character journeys of Gawain and Hwyfar. Watching them recognize strengths they never knew they had and taking claim of what was rightfully theirs was such an incredible thing to read. I absolutely loved their romance too. Oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. The action was so exciting and so vividly written. I feel like this book ended so perfectly, but it also sets up another book so well and I honestly can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.
