So it’d be in her best interests to tell someone. It’s more than a little scary, because not only is it more than one murder, but it’s also people she’s seen before and respect and know are vital to the function of her society. Keralie sees the death of each of Quadara’s four queens.

It’s probably more than a bit traumatizing.ģ. Or, for the general population, make yourself comfortable! Give yourself the time and space you need to adjust to what you just saw. Probably not the way you thought you’d be undressing together, though. If you just so happen to have, I don’t know, jumped out of a high window into the ocean to flee, all while wearing a corset and dress, it might be helpful to take some of that off so you don’t drown.Īnd it doesn’t hurt if there’s a nice love interest who’s got their arms around you, cutting off your corset. Especially if you’re cornered by people who have betrayed you, like Keralie is in Four Dead Queens. Scary.Īnd in moments like these, people have a fight-or-flight response (triggered by the release of hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine from the adrenal medulla, per my anatomy test today) that leads them to decide on what to do.Īnd honestly? None of those are really good options. Because, well, murder in all of it’s shocking, real-life glory. Okay, so if you’re witnessing a murder, you’re probably in a very stressful situation.

I won’t bore you with more intros, I promise, so let’s just dive right in! 1. Yup, that’s right! Inspired by Scholte’s debut, I’m talking a little bit about what you should do and what the main character Keralie does (no spoilers, though!) when she witnesses the murders of all four of Quadara’s queens! In honor of Four Dead Queens, I’ve decided to write up a little something, namely: I’ve sorted myself into Eonia, the science-oriented, cold, northern quadrant led by Queen Corra! There’s a lot of interesting things going on in my quadrant, as although there’s lots of technology, it’s also really cold and the concept of death days is unfortunately real.īut moving on. I’ve read the book and it’s AWESOME with its murder mystery in a fictional setting (my review will go up tomorrow on the blog) and I am so excited to talk a little bit about the premise and how Keralie deals with learning about a conspiracy that leaves all four of Quadara’s queens dead. I am so excited to bring a super fun post inspired by one of my most anticipated releases, Four Dead Queens, to you today!
