“It really doesn’t matter how many secret fighting arts you learn; they just don’t teach you how to fight squirrel cats in assassin school.”

Queenslayer is the fifth instalment in the Spellslinger series which continues the developed storyline created with the prior four in the series.

Sebastien de Castell has once again delivered a hilarious novel with an array of unique characters and intricate plots. Queenslayer introduced the Daroman Empire, the most dominant military power of the continent ...more

QUEENSLAYER - Episode 5
On this episode of Spellslinger, Kellen STILL doesn't level up.

This book series has been like an anime for me. Each book feels like it's own episode where the MC continues to make a name for themselves by being the reluctant hero. The problem is, Kellen is suppose to be extremely clever, but he's still just getting lead around by the nose. This is the 5th book and he's still asking himself the "who am I" and "am I good or evil" questions.

He STILL only has ONE MOVE. ...more

In this penultimate installment of the Spellslinger series, our hapless protagonist Kellen Argos has once again traveled to a new place and embroiled himself in yet another sticky political situation in which he really can’t afford to make a single mistake. Fortunately, by his side is Reichis, his trusty sidekick (sorry, business partner) who is a cantankerous squirrel cat with the heart of a lion and the mouth of a 4 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2019/06/20/...

In this penultimate installment of the Spellslinger series, our hapless protagonist Kellen Argos has once again traveled to a new place and embroiled himself in yet another sticky political situation in which he really can’t afford to make a single mistake. Fortunately, by his side is Reichis, his trusty sidekick (sorry, business partner) who is a cantankerous squirrel cat with the heart of a lion and the mouth of a sailor. Like all the previous volumes, this one also features a very memorable and vibrant supporting cast as characters new and old make an appearance, while certain absences can also be felt strongly.

In Queenslayer, Kellen has traveled to Darome, a nation with some peculiar customs and beliefs. After accidentally smearing blood on a Daroman flag, our protagonist finds himself hauled in front of the royal court to face justice for his crime. Presiding over his trial is Queen , an 11-year-old girl wise beyond her years. Devising a challenge in the form of a card game, she manages to get the court to spare Kellen and place him under her protection.

But pretty soon, Kellen realizes that being in the queen’s service is not all it’s cracked up to be. Most of the others mistrust him, fearful of his Shadowblack. And some also want to use him to their advantage, putting Kellen in a delicate spot. As a greater conspiracy is revealed to him, Kellen is finding it more and more difficult to keep his head above water, painfully aware that the queen probably trusts and relies on him more than she should.

Five books in, it is fascinating for me to watch the evolution of this series. In my review of the previous book, Soulbinder, I noted how I thought we had reached a turning point, where Kellen’s journey may have started taking steps towards a darker and more mature direction. Queenslayer has certainly not swayed me from that impression. While this book still has plenty of action and humor, I definitely feel that it is more understated compared to the first three in the series. For one thing, the story is heavily focused on courtly politics, putting Kellen’s wits to the test. Having reached his eighteenth birthday, our boy is growing up, and it’s obvious from certain themes in the plot as well as some of the situations in which he finds himself. That said, I was pleased to see that if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed much, it’s that he is still completely hopeless when it comes to women.

With one more book to go, Sebastien de Castell is also preparing to tie everything together, though of course there are still plenty of secrets he keeps close to the vest. There’s more about the Shadowblack, building upon what we learned from the previous book in which we saw Kellen start to come around to what the markings might mean for his future. However, new information about his affliction—including the possibility of a cure—has once more gotten him rethinking all his plans. The author has also teased a greater role for Kellen’s sister, and Shalla makes an appearance in Queenslayer, bringing with her all kinds of questions about her endgame. I’m still not really sure about her, whether her love for Kellen is sincere or if she is merely a tool of their father; all I know is that I’m excited to find out more. And finally, I would also love to see more of Ferius. I’ve been missing her, and of course I’m still holding out hope that there will be a bigger part for the Argosi, but at the same time I can’t deny that a part of me is tremendously proud to watch Kellen come into his own without anyone holding his hand. It feels like his has been the goal of the last two novels.

Needless to say, if you’ve been enjoying the series, Queenslayer is not to be missed. I always feel a nervous energy whenever we approach a finale, and this is pretty much where I am now, waiting on pins and needles for Crownbreaker. I’m going to be sad when Kellen and Reichis’ journey comes to a close, but knowing that I’ll have all the fond memories of their past adventures to keep me smiling, it’s hard to feel too upset. As far as memorable moments go, there are plenty in this one, and I can’t wait to read the final book. ...more

By this point, I CANNOT put this series down. It has the light adventure feel with all the darker currents of modern fantasy while being a YA with a lovable trickster with a nasty penchant for destroying everything he grows to love.

But you know what? It' impossible not to love it. It's like a YA version of Brust's Vlad series with the hardcore coolness of applied magic a-la Sanderson's Law. (Magic must make sense, have rules, be awesome.) :)

I LOVE THIS SERIES! It seriously brings me so much joy. Kellen is growing so much and it's lovely to see. This book had way more political intrigue than I expected but I was engrossed. I really liked all the court machinations as well as the new characters we were introduced too. Shalla continues to be a pain in the arse for Kellen and Reichis continues to steal the show (as well as the butter biscuits).

5 stars, naturally!

Kellen is now confronted with court politics and to be honest – he’s way outside his comfort zone. As he tries to keep himself, his squirrel cat and a number of other random folks alive, he finds himself up against all sorts of foes. Including his sister… By now, there is a hefty backstory that has built up and my firm advice is not to jump into this series midway, but go back to the beginning and savour all the magical madness and mayhem from the first book, Spellslinger.

Kellen now has a major mission – he is trying to find a cure for the magical affliction that is dogging his steps and will leave him dying horribly. So he views all the court politics with a certain amount of detachment, until he’s forced to get involved or watch an innocent be killed… I followed the twisting plot with great enjoyment, until about two-thirds of the way through the book there was a certain incident involving a mage, poor old Kellen and a serving girl. I found it very shocking – as did he, so I expected it to be a major gamechanger. It wasn’t – not really, given that while he was shaken and talked about it changing everything, that was as far as it got. The trouble was, this was just such a major issue that all the ongoing problems Kellen was facing shrank in the face of it and when yet the next round of survival shenanigans kicked off, I found I was a lot less involved.

To be honest, I’m not sure whether it’s me, or if the pacing and narrative arc is really compromised, but while I didn’t dislike what came next, I found I was a lot more emotionally detached from the rest of the story. It was wound up with de Castell’s usual flourish and I definitely want to the read the final instalment, but I think this book is the weakest of the series so far. It says a lot for the overall quality of the Spellslinger series that this book still earns a reasonable score. The series is recommended for fans of adventure fantasy featuring an accident-prone protagonist and regular dollops of humour.

I think my favorite thing about this series was always the character-building. Kellen probably is my favorite character ever: he is a real smart-ass, clever and quick-minded, also one-part clumsy, one-part genius and one-part idiot. But what I always loved about him that he is kind of sensitive and was never really able to restrain his feelings. We could see him complain, we could see him cry, being bratty or even heart-broken. Like a normal teenage boy whose life turned upside down.

Well, that's I think my favorite thing about this series was always the character-building. Kellen probably is my favorite character ever: he is a real smart-ass, clever and quick-minded, also one-part clumsy, one-part genius and one-part idiot. But what I always loved about him that he is kind of sensitive and was never really able to restrain his feelings. We could see him complain, we could see him cry, being bratty or even heart-broken. Like a normal teenage boy whose life turned upside down.

Well, that's the Kellen I remembered and loved: full of feelings and heart, full of depth. But in Queenslayer something changed in his character and I couldn't even recognize him anymore in some parts: he became meaner, darker and so much colder... but somehow also became more "flat" and lacking complexity. Well, you can say that being an outlaw can change your personality completely but it was not like that. For me, this transformation was not quite believable and was not at all consistent with the previous books. For example, Kellen almost totally forgot what he learned from Ferius (!!), he didn't use the Argosi ways anymore which were kind of the essence of his development in the previous books. I also missed him concentrating on the details, I missed his way of thinking and cunning - in this installment he was not as resourceful and observant as earlier and that was kind of unsettling. And most of all I just missed him being himself and not a cold-blooded murderer. (Seriously, when murdering became so okay for him?? He killed people earlier but not it was like nothing?? It was so sad to read.) Sometimes it felt like I was reading about a complete stranger.

The story also felt off... maybe because it was originally written in 2011 (I have no idea) but the whole book's vibe was much more like Greatcoats and not Spellslinger. The Daroman Empire, the marshals, the 11 years old queen and the whole setting reminded me too much of Traitor's Blade and unfortunately that didn't quite work for me. (I believe it was the opposite for some readers but I always preferred Spellslinger over Greatcoats.)
At this point in the story, I expected to read more about the shadowblack, Kellen's being an enigmatist or just about Kellen's family, the past of his grandmother. Like hells, the writer should have started to prepare the story for the last book, started to build the story's climax. But this whole book felt like a filler episode - you know the one episode which is kind of a stand-alone, don't really add too much to the whole and not as detailed and professional as the main ones.

Despite my obvious discontent with Kellen and the story's direction, there were parts of the book I really liked. (Don't get me wrong, the book was still enjoyable and a fast read but it just couldn't fulfill my main expectations). I especially loved Shalla's parts. At least she was totally herself and acted in a way she always does. I always love when she has an interaction with Kellen - you know that she is a calculating manipulator but she loves her brother more than anything and that's more than touching. At least for me. :) I missed Ke'heops in this one but what he "did" in the end for Kellen was everything I had hoped for (and it was so perfect!!).
The interactions between Kellen and Reichis were also great and I loved that the little squirrel cat had more screen time in this book than in the previous ones. He is the heart of the series and I hope that he is going to have the same amount of spotlight in the last book as well.

Now I am really curious how the story is going to end. Although Queenslayer was obviously not my favorite part, I'm in love with the first four books (I read every book twice) and I hope with all my heart that my feelings are going to be the same for Crownbreaker. I need my Kellen (my TRUE Kellen), I need the real Spellslinger. Please.
I am so excited and I can't wait to find out the true story behind the shadowblack and Kellen's grandmother. I also hope that Kellen can meet his family again and they can settle their hm... disagreements.
I could never really hate Ke'heops and Shalla is kind of my girl crush, so... can the Jan'Teps have a reunion? :3
Oh. And Ferius. Don't forget Ferius!

Well, still so much to wait for. Until October I'll definitely read some parts again of the story! Even if my review was not quite positive for this book but the series definitely worth the read and my love is still the same. ...more

This was definitely darker than the previous entries in the series, much closer in tone to the Greatcoats (which I also love). I don't mind a dark tone but there was something about the portrayal of women in this book that made me uncomfortable. Certainly that one scene was fucking horrifying, holy shit.

A darker turn for the series.

The Spellslinger series has always had a grim underside offset by snarky humor and flashy action scenes. Queenslayer flips the dark underbelly topside. The hopeful optimism seen in previous entries is replaced with world-weary cynicism.

Kellen is meaner now. He's less compelled by heroic influences and increasingly prone to ugly pragmatism. We see precious little of Kellen the Argosi, and quite a bit of Kellen the Spellslinger.

Once again, it is a story that focuses on Kellen and Reichis alone as they are still separated from their old group and this time find themselves in the high courts of Darome. The story this time is quite different from those that came before, as Kellen finds himself in a delicate tale of political intrigue. While perhaps not as action-packed as previous instalments, Kellen comes to understand the intricate way that courts function - where words have power and people who are too outspoken meet unfortunate "accidents".

Yet, as interesting as this concept was, it was not without its problems. Unlike Kellen's time spent in Gitabria and the Jan'Tep city, we don't get to see a lot of Darome itself and so I didn't really get a clear picture in my mind of how it differed. The story also meandered for quite some time before it found its feet, with the plot not truly catching up with Kellen until about two thirds of the way through. Yet, at this point, the story became difficult to put down. The climax of the story is particularly thrilling, as Kellen is forced to stop fleeing and actually decide on which side he stands.

Yet, there were some aspects of the story that left a bad taste in my mouth. While the series has not been entirely tame to date, Queenslayer was notably darker than previous instalments. There was a lot more violence, gore and torture than I remember previously, along with references made to child abuse, paedophilia and rape. In particular, one scene of violence against a background female character left a particularly bitter taste in my mouth. The story this time can be difficult to read in places and I would strongly advise caution if you are sensitive about things.

While the ultimate villain was a little easy to spot, I did enjoy some of the twists and turns of the politics of the story and the errors that Kellen made as he tried to understand it. Yet, I am still concerned by how standalone these stories feel at this stage of the series. While Kellen, at least, does not walk off into the sunset in this one, there was still a sense of disconnect. With just one instalment left to go, I would have thought that we would be building up to the climax at this stage.

In terms of character, this book shared many problems that I had with the first instalment. While Kellen, thankfully, does not grow in strength in this story he still is oddly savvy. An entire army struggles to combat a political coup, yet one card player can succeed where they fail? Despite his constant whining about how week he is, Kellen proves to be able to defeat powerful opponents time and time again. Reichis also felt a bit off this time around, as the shadowblack seems to have transformed his bravado into outright violence. Hopefully, this doesn't get worse next time as it's started to make him feel less charming.

The novel also, once again, introduces many background characters that fail to really make an impression over the course of the story. While some growth is given to the likes of Mariadne, the female characters in the novel remain fairly flat and uninteresting, oddly attracted to Kellen on sight and unable to do much for themselves without his protection.

The only exception to this was Ginevra - the eleven year old queen of Darome - who proved to be a really interesting addition to the cast. Her old soul and worldliness formed a nice contrast to the fact that she was a child who had been forced into a terrible (and potentially fatal) situation. I really look forward to seeing how her relationship with Kellen evolves in the final book.

So, all in all, this was a bit of a mixed bag. While better than Soulbinder, it was unfortunately nowhere near as strong as the first instalment of this saga. Still, I am curious to see how the series will conclude when the final book is released later this year. ...more
