The Queen's Weapons by Anne BishopMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Although I may need to give this a second read to let it all sink deeper in, right now, I can say that this is a superb addition to the Black Jewels series. This book revolves mainly around Jaenelle Saetien’s life. She is now more than several centuries old but still a; well, let's say, a young adult. She has not yet made her offering, so she still has only her Twilights Dawn jewel. She has turned into a right little b*itch, and it gets worse as the book progresses. But you'll see why and it's a doozy of a plot twist!
If you've kept up with the whole series, don't do as I did and re-read
since it will make the first, oh, maybe 10% of this book boring. There is a lot of repetition about Surreal and Daemons' marriage and 'the heat'. A conflict that does seem to get resolved in this book.
This book is definitely a must-read for those who love The Jewels series and will definitely be going on my comfort read shelf. You know the one I mean- the books that you just read for pure enjoyment when nothing else seems to suit!

SYNOPSIS: "Enter the dark and sensual realms of the Black Jewels, a world where power always has a price, in this sweeping story in the New York Times bestselling fantasy saga.
They are Warlord Princes, men born to serve and protect. They are the Queen's Weapons, men born to destroy the Queen's enemies--no matter what face that enemy wears.
Daemonar Yaslana knows how to be bossy yet supportive--traits he shares with his father, the Demon Prince, and his uncle, the High Lord of Hell. Within his generation of the family, he assumes the role of protector, supporting his sister Titian’s artistic efforts and curbing his cousin Jaenelle Saetien’s more adventurous ideas. But when a young Eyrien Queen, someone Titian thought was a friend, inflicts an emotional wound, Daemonar's counterattack brings him under the tutelage of Witch, the Queen whose continued existence is known only to a select few.
As Daemonar is confronted by troubling changes within and around the family, he sees warnings that a taint in the Blood might be reappearing. Daemonar, along with his father and uncle, must uncover the source of a familiar evil--and Daemon Sadi, the High Lord of Hell, may be forced into making a terrible choice."
