Another great Black Jewels bookThis story continues the Chronicles of the SaDiablo family and the troubled daughter of Sadi and Surreal。 I liked that Sadi， who took over for his father as head of the family and as High Lord of Hell， is not just a carbon copy of his dad。 He's had very different experiences， which broke him several times in his long life， and he continues to do his duties as he sees them。 I feel that Surreal is given short shrift in this book， but it's not her story。 I do hope she Another great Black Jewels bookThis story continues the Chronicles of the SaDiablo family and the troubled daughter of Sadi and Surreal。 I liked that Sadi， who took over for his father as head of the family and as High Lord of Hell， is not just a carbon copy of his dad。 He's had very different experiences， which broke him several times in his long life， and he continues to do his duties as he sees them。 I feel that Surreal is given short shrift in this book， but it's not her story。 I do hope she gets a book of her own again。I also like that their daughter Satien is having very real problems trying to live up to her illustrious name and family， and is a very real person， not a "thousand point character" as the gamers say。 This book tells her story， from several points of view， and the author writes all these characters with real empathy for their struggles。 。。。more

Surprised meI started this book thinking that some people were hopeless， but I was pleasantly surprised with the ending。 I should never have doubted Anne Bishop's ability to reform any character。 This book made me laugh and cry。 We get to see most of our favorite characters （I miss the previous high lord of hell）。 I hope this isn't our last foray into the Black Jewel world。 Surprised meI started this book thinking that some people were hopeless， but I was pleasantly surprised with the ending。 I should never have doubted Anne Bishop's ability to reform any character。 This book made me laugh and cry。 We get to see most of our favorite characters （I miss the previous high lord of hell）。 I hope this isn't our last foray into the Black Jewel world。 。。。more

I’m grateful for this continuation of the story。 Unfortunately， while it provided good updates， the story feels pretty incomplete。 We learned important things about characters， but the school story arc， in particular， felt very sketchy。 I’m sad that I have to wait another year or more for more of the story。 Also， there wasn’t enough detail about the characters to make them truly relatable。 I will still read anything Anne Bishop writes， but this one was a disappointment。

The Queen’s Price by Anne Bishop is the 12th book in her fantastic Black Jewels series。 I am a huge fan of Anne Bishop， as I have read all her series。 Black Jewels has always been one of my favorite all time series， and every time Anne gives us a new book， I cannot wait to savor it。 The Queen’s Price was a fantastic read， I could not put the book down， as this was a masterpiece。The Queen’s Price focuses on Daemon & Surreal’s daughter， Saetien’s for a major part of the story， with the rest of the The Queen’s Price by Anne Bishop is the 12th book in her fantastic Black Jewels series。 I am a huge fan of Anne Bishop， as I have read all her series。 Black Jewels has always been one of my favorite all time series， and every time Anne gives us a new book， I cannot wait to savor it。 The Queen’s Price was a fantastic read， I could not put the book down， as this was a masterpiece。The Queen’s Price focuses on Daemon & Surreal’s daughter， Saetien’s for a major part of the story， with the rest of the story centering on the training at SaDiablo Hall。 Daemon， Lucifier and staff offer training for young Queens， Black Widows， as well as the boys who would be part of the first circle courts。I did not like Saetien in the previous book， even at the start of this book， as she was not likeable and deserved her punishment from the previous book， but in the last half of the book I did begin to like her。 She went to Scelt on a heart quest to learn more about Jaenelle’s sister and discover truths about herself。 As Saetien meets Prince Butler， he will teach her the truths about the past， and along the way she begins to change。 I loved the past stories， as we learn more and more about Jaenelle， the purge， and her terrible recovery。Zoey is considered one the best young Queens， and very close to Titian; when someone new comes to the hall， she over steps herself， not listening to those in control， such as Daemonar。 After Zoey is reprimanded， she loses her confidence， and begins to struggle; not to mention a separate group of Queens， who do not like Zoey， were mean， jealous and manipulative to her。 Zoey’s group of friends， such as Titian， Jhett， Kathleen， Grizande， were all loyal and great friends。 Zoey will need to step up and convince the Queens that they need to pay the price， required by Jaenelle。I also got a kick of Jillian facing Virgin Night， and Brenda’s help explaining things…this was funny。 I also enjoyed seeing Surreal， who continues to be Daemon’s second hand。 Karla once again was fun in her short appearance; and loved spending time with Jaenelle （Witch）， which was always great。 The entire book was fantastic， exciting， intense， dangerous， with heartwarming moments that do not allow you to put the book down， as you become totally enthralled。 I will say I absolutely loved seeing our favorites Daemon， Lucivar， Surreal， Daemonar， Marion， Karla and of course， my favorite heroine， Jaenelle。 And as always， I love the Kindred。Anne Bishop not only creates such wonderful leading characters; her secondary characters continue to be to be equally memorable。 Black Jewels has always been one of my top favorites， especially all those people we loved， and Anne Bishop continues to bring joy to our lives with these fantastic characters。 The Queen’s Price was another masterpiece from Anne Bishop。 I want more。BarbThe Reading Cafe 。。。more

What's it about （in a nutshell）:The Queen's Price by Anne Bishop is an epic fantasy set in a complex world of jewel-infused magic with a cast of imaginative beings that tell the story of why it's essential to meet the Queen's price。 The Queen's price for being a queen and having all that power is always doing what's right， especially when it's a hard choice。 How can she protect her people if that is not a price she is willing to pay。My Reading Experience:I'm not even going to pretend that jumpin What's it about （in a nutshell）:The Queen's Price by Anne Bishop is an epic fantasy set in a complex world of jewel-infused magic with a cast of imaginative beings that tell the story of why it's essential to meet the Queen's price。 The Queen's price for being a queen and having all that power is always doing what's right， especially when it's a hard choice。 How can she protect her people if that is not a price she is willing to pay。My Reading Experience:I'm not even going to pretend that jumping into a series starting with book twelve is in any way easy， especially with the creative world-building that Bishop is a master。 Still， I did just that because I successfully jumped into her other popular series， The Others， at book six。 I know that Bishop provides just enough information to enable me to work my way in and understand what is happening around me。 I love everything about Bishop's writing。 However， I recommend starting this series from either the beginning or possibly from book 10， where the focus changes to the characters explored in this story。 If I had more time， I would have read book 1 to get a good basic understanding of the world and its magic system， then skipped on to books 10， 11， and then this one， Book 12。 Leaving Books 2-9 for future enjoyment。But that being said， I enjoyed this story very much and loved the underlying message， which is the importance of doing what's right， especially when it's hard。 This is one of my favorite messages in coming-of-age stories and one that I have always lived by。 The storyline that brings this message home felt very authentic， even in this fantasy world， as the teens are just teens， after all。Characters:There are many， many characters in this story。 So many that there is a glossary of their names and relationships to each other at the end of the book。 They are all very well-developed with a distinct uniqueness that makes them easy to keep straight as I read the story。My favorite character， though， is easily Saetien。 Yes， she can act entitled and thoroughly spoiled， but there is an edge to her and a light in her moral grayness that I found intriguing and wanted to explore more。 There would be no persuasion necessary for me to read a book focused solely on Saetien。Narration & Pacing:The story is quite long， and the pacing is relatively slow， which was the only drawback for me。 The story relies on the strength of the characters， and they are developed enough to carry it。 Still， I need more action and adventure for my reading enjoyment。 Especially when I am faced with over 500 pages worth of a story。The narration is in the third-person omniscient style， which is a must considering the broad scope of the story。 I found this to be the perfect way to tell it and include enough backstory for crazy readers like me， who aren't afraid to pick this book up without reading the previous 11 books。Setting:Primarily， the book is set in SaDiablo Hall， which has been converted into a training ground for young queens and their courts。 The school aspect provides some fun in the story， with the young magic wielders getting into mischief regularly。 Anne Bishop always takes special care in her world-building， which is extraordinarily complex and expansive with a unique magic system and many different types of beings to give it a depth of flavor uniquely its own。Read if you like:Well-developed complex charactersCreative and expansive world-buildingStories that involve magic 。。。more
