Review:
Myth: 4.5/5
Gemma’s story continues in Tear Down the Throne. She is recovering from the physical and emotional blows at the end of Capture the Crown, but it hasn’t slowed her down in her quest to find out what Milo is up to and save her country.
Book two kicks up the romantic tension between Gemma and Leonidas. They have to struggle through their feelings for each other and their warring families and figure out what is most important.
Though Gemma and Leo’s romantic tension is a delight, nothing amps me up more than the machinations between Maeven and Gemma. I live for their scenes, their animosity that keeps each other sharper than they care to admit, it’s just a fantastic face off every time.
“Choosing mercy is not a weakness, Gemma. Sometimes it is much, much harder to be kind than it is to be cruel.”
Magic: 4.5/5
I tend to like power that builds and Jennifer Estep really likes to write it. :)
Gemma is a powerhouse to start and throughout her challenges she gets to push various parts of her magic further than she thought possible.
Overall: 4.5/5
Another delightful installment to the Gargoyle Queen series. Heavy on the romance for Gemma and Leo, but still plenty of political machinations to keep you guessing. There is never a dull moment when all the royals are together.
