Aug 21, 2017 Elsbeth rated it it was amazing

A strong story about a strong queen. And about people who try to undermine her strongness. And of course about the people who help her be strong (again).
Part 2 of this series is as great as part 1!

From the beginning of Death's Betrayal, I knew it was going to be just as good as it's predecessor if not better. It began with the escape of Daros from the dungeons. As deadly and cunning as ever, he found his way out from the Queen's reach. His disappearance was a major setback for her emotionally and physically because memories of his wretched behavior towards her became overbearing. Another resulting effect is making her pulling away from Nash. To protect him, she pushes him away and keeps ...more

Death’s Betrayal is the brilliant sequel in Janeal Falor’s Death Queen series and is another action packed and fast paced tale that as easily as good as, if not better, than is predecessor and will sweep readers up into a dangerous world of danger, politics and betrayal.

Now with a name of her own, Queen Ryn is determined to do the best for her people and bring peace and happiness to her kingdom. Yet doing what no queen that came before her has been able to do is difficult, with Ryn’s past a dangerous cloud hanging over the her head and various factions determined to disrupt her rule. When Ryn’s former mentor Daros escapes the dungeons and someone close to Ryn is kidnapped, making choices that best serve her people becomes harder than ever before as Ryn’s heart and desires war with what is expected of her. With dangers mounting and lives on the line, will Ryn be able to face her fears and do what needs to be done? Or will putting herself and her desires cost her everything she holds dear?

As far as sequel’s go, Death’s Betrayal is pretty darn solid. Janeal Falor continues the series with the same excitement, danger and hint of romance that encompassed the first book and made it such as thrilling fantasy. Death’s Betrayal details the next chapter in Ryn’s life as she is now queen and looking to make changes in her kingdom. As always, there are those who oppose our strong willed and capable heroine, but Ryn does things her way; making both friends and enemies along the way.

Ryn continues to be a stellar main character to follow. She’s kind at her very base and wants to make things better for those with little within the kingdom, but she’s also daring, capable and headstrong. Ryn doesn’t want to cower behind guards; she wants to be on the frontline, protecting herself and those around her. It’s nice seeing the growth in Ryn as she begins to let people in and make connections with those around her in Death’s Betrayal. There are a few people she’s letting in including her servant Inkga and her hand-maiden Jem, though the biggest influence and most important individual to her is her Head Advisor and confidant Nash.

Nash is someone you can’t help but like and I do really like his place within the story. The relationship between Nash and Ryn is a lovely undercurrent to a fast paced and forward moving story that is filled with plenty of action. Ryn and Nash are so endearing and I’m enjoying reading about the romance between them, especially with the aspect of forbidden that coats their relationship. Stolen glances, stolen touches, stolen kisses—they're all so enticing and Falor has me eagerly reading for another heated moment between them with the turn of every page.

Exciting from beginning to end, Death’s Betrayal races towards an extremely riveting last few chapters with plenty of twists and turns. Janeal Falor continues to detail a thrilling fantasy series and leaves me dying to see what happens to Ryn and Nash next! ...more

Aug 24, 2017 The Mysterious Reader rated it it was amazing

Book 1 on this series, Death's Queen, Was so good that I've been of two minds about the sequel, on the one hand very much looking forward to it while at the same time worrying that it wouldn't maintain the high standard set by the first book. I needn't have worried. Book 2, Death's Betrayal is fantastic - at least as good and possibly better than Book 1 (though it is a necessity to read that book first). It's a true pleasure following along as Ryn continues to grow and develop. She's a superb ...more

Okay part two picks up we're part one leaves off they've got a couple problems in the storyline and they leave some obvious choices that they should have taken that they did not.

Just as goid as the first book if not better!

I can't believe that I'm enjoying a first person view as much as I am. The way her thought process works goes back and forth from organized to chaotic just like a real person's would. Super story line and well written.
