Description
Fate once carved a blade across my throat, leaving me to die without a burial place. –This is how Adele described her previous life. As queen, she governed the Roland Empire with great order, yet her reward was the guillotine. The moment she was reborn, she learned– After her death, struggles for the throne tore Roland apart, destroying the empire’s glory. All she was became but a single line in the history books: “She was an able monarch, sadly unable to defy destiny.” Returning to the night of the coup, the Queen sneered at this “undeniable destiny.” Later– Those who had betrayed her fell beneath her throne, utterly mesmerized: The knight whose loyalty was once scorned now only begged to die in battle for her. Hypocritical nobles scoured the earth themselves just to gift her jewels. The bishop who loathed heretics submitted to her, forsaking his faith. … For her, they waged war; for her, they penned thousands of love letters; for her, they were devoted until death. The Queen, seemingly debauched yet cold as iron within, sat high upon her throne: Heh. … “You will never find another woman like her. She was bewitching, mad, and ambitious; flirtatious and charming, yet utterly ruthless.” –Thus the Imperial history books summarized the life of Adele the Great.

My Thoughts on Refusing Love As A Queen
"Refusing Love As A Queen" immediately grabbed my attention with its promise of a strong, politically savvy female lead in a historical fantasy setting. I dove in expecting a story of courtly intrigue and a protagonist who defies expectations, and I wasn't disappointed.
First Impressions
The initial chapters set the stage brilliantly. We're introduced to Adele, a queen burdened by her past and determined to secure her reign. The story doesn't shy away from the challenges she faces as a woman in power, which I found refreshing. It’s clear from the start that Adele is not just a pretty face; she’s a force to be reckoned with.
What Works Well
The political machinations are definitely a highlight. The author does a great job of portraying the complexities of ruling a kingdom, where personal relationships are constantly tested by duty and ambition. I especially appreciated the nuanced characterizations. No one is purely good or evil, and everyone has their own agenda, making the power struggles all the more compelling.
Adele herself is a captivating protagonist. She's beautiful and knows how to use it to her advantage, but she's also intelligent, ruthless, and deeply pragmatic. She's not afraid to make difficult decisions, even if they come at a personal cost. Her relationships, particularly her friendship with the pirate captain, add a layer of warmth to her otherwise steely exterior. It's these moments of genuine connection that make her feel more human and relatable. The romantic elements, though subtle, are also well-executed, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.

Final Verdict
Overall, I highly recommend "Refusing Love As A Queen" to anyone who enjoys plot-heavy historical fantasy with a strong female lead. The political intrigue is captivating, the characters are complex and well-developed, and the romance adds an extra layer of depth to the story. While some may find the political maneuvering a bit dense at times, the payoff is well worth it. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapters to see what fate has in store for Adele and her kingdom.
