Tempest’s Queen (The Inferno's Heir Duology)
Tiffany Wang
The queen has won her crown. Now, she must prove she’s worthy to wear it. Six months ago, Teia Carthan seized the throne against all odds. She sacrificed everything—her morals, her friends, even the spark of love—to hear the whisper of her new Highness. Now, Teia sets sail across the Dark Sea to warn her cousin, the Shaylani emperor, of a threat that could doom the Five Cornelius Lehm lives, and he’s planning to raise the Serkawr. But as she begins a furious journey across Shaylan, Teia knows she needs help to defeat Lehm—even if it means working with the very rebels she betrayed to claim her crown. Trust is a fragile thing, and Teia crushed it beneath her heel. Can she earn the Dawnbreakers’ friendship once again? Or will the consequences of her treachery win out, dragging all she’s fought for like a wave to the depths?

4.5/5 stars rounded up!
My praises from The Inferno's Heir hold up perfectly here. Teia is still an amazing protagonist, and the chemistry she shares with the side characters, both familiar and new, is still delightful as ever. The heist shenanigans aren't as intriguing here as they were in the first book, but you can't break into a prison twice in the same series. Besides, it still was fun and never failed to show off Teia's intelligence and cunning.
My wish for more worldbuilding was fulfilled here. Shaylan felt just as rich and fleshed as out Erisha, and Teia's perspective as a newcomer to her mom's homeland provided interesting perspectives. I do hope Wang gets to explore the other three kingdoms in a sister series, though, because even though Teia's story ends here, there's so much potential to explore the remaining kingdoms through the eyes of another protagonist.
Overall, I really liked this duology, and I hope to come back to it in the future (When I have the time; I still have so much other stuff I need to catch up on).
