She has to do it to get her throne back.īut there’s more to her trip to Skyvale than she ever anticipated. When Wil is tasked with impersonating a dead girl of noble birth in order to gain access to Skyvale Castle and all its secrets, she knows she can do it. They forged documents, they spied on their enemies, and they formulated plans to once again claim their homeland. For years, the Ospreys learned to fight, to steal (to feed themselves), and to impersonate others. But they all escaped into deserted lands to regroup, calling themselves Ospreys after a bird on their former kingdoms crest. Several other children survived and were put into orphanages in Skyvale, the kingdom that killed her family. Her people, her family, were slaughtered when she was a child after refusing to sign an alliance banning the use of magic.

The Orphan Queen is a tale of Wilhelmina “Wil” Korte, surviving princess of a conquered kingdom called Aecor. If you can’t show the world all that you are. If you put on personalities like clothes. I heart you.įirst off, The Orphan Queen opens with this dedication:

“Here, Almighty Word Doc, take these thoughts, emotions, THE FEELS, and the oh-my-Gods and put them into a clever review!” It didn’t work.

I wanted to take my word doc and fill it with words through sheer force of will alone. It’s just one of those books that are so ridiculously good that the words to express their awesomeness don’t come. It took me a while to gather my thoughts on THE ORPHAN QUEEN by Jodi Meadows.
