"They vanish without a trace, disappear into the night . . . Each year on the center island, one girl is chosen to be the next Mortal Queen of the idolized fae. The mortals praise these lucky girls, but their daughters are never seen again. The fae realm is eternal night, where disputes are settled by chess matches, power is acquired through the most devious kinds of trickery, and seven illusive kings roam. The fae hide their faces behind masks and guard their glass hearts to keep them from shattering. But beyond the veil of this luxurious paradise, a dark secret simmers, for their Queens have disappeared. When aspiring artist Althea is selected, she is desperate to avoid the same mysterious fate. With no one to trust, she conceals messages in paintings and receives anonymous replies from a stranger who slowly reveals the tale of a girl who outwitted the fae. Only if she is clever enough will Althea survive the fate of the Mortal Queens. As long as the king who cannot love does not claim her first."

When I read the blurb for Mortal Queens I knew it would be good. Victoria McCombs is a new-to-me author and this first Fae Dynasty novel sounded just too intriguing to pass up. I was totally right on both counts. Yes, it was good. Yes, it was intriguing.
I was totally immersed in Victoria McCombs' Fae Dynasty world right from the start. Mortal Queens had just the right amount of vivid description to make you feel like you were right there while not bogging down the reader's attention span. The stark contrast between landscapes â�" hot dry island and starry palatial opulence â�" was quite well done.
The story itself was well written and everything that I've come to expect from an Enclave-published book. Victoria McCombs kept me interested throughout Mortal Queens and even managed to deliver a few surprises. The only downside is that it ended on something of a cliffhanger and now I have to wait the interminable amount of time before the next Fae Dynasty tale releases and I get to find out what happens next to the intrepid Althea and her allies...
