SYNOPSIS: A story about the last Oracle Queen. RATING: 4.3/5
REVIEW: This was such a greatly written short story. It made me feel all sorts of emotion such as happiness, sadness, and anger. I'm glad that I got to find out the story about why the last Oracle Queen had a very bad reputation. There was a lot of betrayal in this short story and it was written amazingly (because it made me really angry).
SHOULD YOU READ IT: Yes! Especially if you're curious about the last Oracle Queen.
I hate Francesca, William, Gilbert and Sonia so much. Francesca was such an evil person. William was an asshole. Gilbert was a freakin' idiot. Sonia was such a bitch. I hate that they won. They were able to take the crown from Elsabet and kill all her friends.
I really like Jonathan. He was able to comfort Elsabet and I wanted them together. I really hated that he became a casualty of Francesca greediness but he was partially to blame for taunting Francesca.
I really like Elsabet, Bess, and Rosamund's friendship. Beth and Rosamund were always there to support Elsabet even though she was unreasonable at some point.
I hate that Bess was killed. She was such a lovely person. I'm glad that they mourned her death hard.
I felt really bad for Rosamund. She's such a badass character and tried to fight Sonia but there were just too much. I felt bad for her especially since she knows that her family was killed as a casualty.
I wonder how they were able to continue the line of the Queen from Elsabet. She probably just lost all hope.
It broke my heart that they found out about Francesca plan late. They figured things out but it didn't help them. It just made things worse.
SHORT SUMMARY:
Elsabet, the Oracle Queen, won the throne. Many of her council members do not like her because she's headstrong and does what she wants. Francesca plotted against her.
Her consort flirted with every woman in the kingdom and she kept losing her patience with him in public. Her maid, Bess, and her friend Rosamund tried to help her relax. She met a painter during a festival and they become close. She already lost interest in her consort and is now entertaining Jonathan Denton.
It was revealed that Francesca is the king consort's lover. He was purposely flirting with other women so that Elsabet would not know about his affair with Francesca. It was also revealed that Elsabet has been drinking poison that kept sealed her powers off. It was created by Francesca. Jonathan figured it out and told Bess and Rosamund about it.
Bess tried to talk to him one morning. She left immediately and Jonathan followed her. Bess died because Francesca and Sonia thought that it was Jonathan who was coming out. They turned the story and told everyone that Elsabet ordered the killing. They made it look as though Bess and Jonathan were having an affair and Elsabet got jealous.
Sonia and Rosamund fought. Rosamund fought hard but Sonia had many guards. She lost. Elsabet lost everyone and was locked up in the tower until she gave birth to her triplets. Francesca won.
FAVORITE QUOTES:
"You should not have told me about my house, Sonia." "Why not?" "Because now there is no one for me to protect by surrendering."
THE ORACLE QUEEN
