I mean, the main plot of the story was the same, but the serial read like SF with some romance thrown in, while the book read like Allergy-inducing Romance with SF thrown in. So when I read The Queen’s Gambit after its official release, I thought that one of these most unfortunate accidents must have happened:Ī) I was drunk as a high-strung puffer fish when I read the online version.ī) I was drunk as a high-strung puffer fish when I read the final version.Ĭ) I was drunk a high-strung puffer fish when I read both the online and final versions. Until I read The Queen’s Gambit, my experience of online serials had been limited to the somewhat slightly awesome Innkeeper Chronicles.

I’ll be posting it in a serial format, with new installments each week. The Queen’s Gambit is a science fiction novella set in its own universe. Torn between duty and desire, Samara must decide if saving her people is worth giving up the one thing she’s always wanted. And the more time she spends with Valentin Kos, the more she realizes that he’s not the coldly indifferent villain she imagined. The Kos Empire will pay a fortune for their emperor’s return, enough to feed the Coalition’s citizens while they wait for the return to a begrudging peace.īut when her plan goes sideways, Samara finds herself evading Quint mercenaries with the very man she intends to capture. With her people on the brink of starvation, Samara hatches a daring plan to snatch the kidnapped Kos Emperor from the Quint mercenaries holding him. But staying neutral in a galactic war doesn’t pay the bills, not when both sides refuse to trade with neutral sectors. But her sister Bianca sends in two bodyguards with her to the house party and one of them will be acting as Cat’s boyfriend so he can be in close proximity to her.When the Quint Confederacy and the Kos Empire went to war-again-young Queen Samara wisely kept her Rogue Coalition out of the conflict. Unlike the first two books, Chaos Reigning puts us right in the middle of high society as Cat infiltrates a house party to look for evidence about the kidnapping and torture of her eldest brother. Chaos Reigning picks up after the chaotic events in Aurora Blazing. Catarina von Hasenberg is the youngest and also the most underestimated member of House von Hasenberg.
I received an ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.Ĭhaos Reigning concludes The Consortium Rebellion trilogy and I recommend reading the series in order.
