The usual warning applies—Queen of Seven is still an ongoing regularly updated web novel and my review will be subject to change.  But until then, my thoughts on Queen of Seven:

I’ve tried to write this review for a while now, but I couldn’t really think of the right words.

I love Queen of Seven.  I love it more than Alisiyad. 

I’ve tried to ask myself why, but honestly, comparing the two is kind of like trying to compare oranges and apples.  Sure, Queen of Seven is the sequel to Alisiyad, but it’s also different. 

The story is even more deeply anchored in the characters than Alisiyad was.  It has focused mostly on Elly, Russ’s and Liseli’s daughter who is gifted with magic—powerful magic (all at the same time avoiding Special Child Syndrome). 

It touches on themes of guilt and honesty and love (not the mushy kind of love—something better and realer than that). 

In the form of bonus stories, Sarah has given us bits and pieces of mythology, beautiful mythology that is both real and poignant.

The Myth and the Stories, together, effect me very deeply. 

They are real to me.
