Athena’s Reviews > Queen Song > Status Update

I just wish it didn’t require Cals mom’s words for him to listen but I also understand he was a 20 year old boy. I’d listen to my mom other a boy I love at that age considering his father put a precedence on the crown while he was alive.

The diary ended unfinished, unseen by any who deserved to read it.

Julian could only save parts of it and make copies while he could before Elara burned/ ruined it. I want to know what lies Elara spewed to make the kingdom hate Cori other than the rumors of Cori using her singing power to enchant Tiberias though that was false. The diary was important for Cal to finally make the right decision to put the crown away

Other than just power and the crown a little bit of her background. I expected a little more from the novela I was hoping to see Elara and Coris relationship a little more. ALSO Julian and Coris relationship was sweet and he was protective of her. Though I wish we got more of Cori and Sara. Sara was important to Cal being his physician but I wish I saw more of Sara and Coris closeness. Sara was also a lady in waiting

What made Elara so evil why was she so evil? I don’t want to accept her as a villain by her own making I want to say that it was the stress from family because we saw a glimpse of that from Evangeline. But pushing someone to a gruesome death like this while also being the main villain in the red queen series, destroying your own husband and son has got to be deep rooted need for power. I wish we knew Elaras motives

Only Elara saw its pages, and the slow unraveling of the woman inside. She destroyed the book like she destroyed Coriane. And she dreamed of nothing

To hide the fact that Elara broke the law and was in Cori’s mind she not only destroyed her diary but also make sure she was the first person to see Cori dead. It probably pulled her and Tiberias closer. I honestly would have loved a book on Elara.

Still you are empty.
The only person in your head is you. And she is no one of any importance. She is nothing.

Elara really messed with Coris head and made her think these things which led to her death.

I feel like you can really see Elaras seed budding now in Coraines mind. It really is poisonous and just enforces a weak woman out of Cori

And it is in your son, in the prince who will never change his blood and will never sit a throne.
The only person in my head is me.
The only person who has not changed is you. You are still the little girl in a dusty room, forgotten, unwanted, out of place. You are queen of everything, mother to a beautiful son, wife to a king who loves you, and still you cannot find it in yourself to smile. Still you make nothing.

Or at least trying to understand the hardships they have gone through instead of being like the other silvers.

Conscripted from every corner of the kingdom, forced to serve and fight. My kingdom, Coriane knew. My husband signs every conscription renewal, never stopping the cycle, only complaining about the cramp in his hand.

She watched her son on the floor, smiling with a single tooth, bashing a pair of wooden blocks together. He will not be the same, she told herself.

Cori is a queen love her for understanding the reds
