The fact that they both believed in what they were doing made Queen Move even better in my opinion. And Ezra had opened a private school for disadvantaged kids. Kimba took good care to choose the next candidate she wanted to help win a political mandate. I also loved how both Kimba and Ezra had strong principles about their lives and their careers. And that’s not something I’ve had to deal with, but I felt Ezra’s feelings thanks to the amazing writing. I was especially touched by how Ezra never felt like he truly belonged when he was younger, with his black father and jewish mother, he didn’t fit in anywhere.

And the issues that are brought up are expertly handled. There are just so many things to love in Queen Move, the relationships between the characters are so well done. And if you’re already a fan – you’ll possibly love it even more than her other books. If you’re new to Kennedy Ryan, just know that you’re in for a real treat with this novel. The novel also shifts between the past, when Kimba and Ezra were children and teens, and the present, and I loved getting to know everybody better. Queen Move is written with different points of views, we get Kimba and Ezra, of course, but we also get Ruth (Ezra’s mom). A family that might be very hard for her to get, for reasons I won’t get into here. She’s a multi faceted character, and while her career has been the most important part of her life for ages, she has this little voice in her head trying to talk about having a family one day. Learning more about her in Queen Move made me love her even more. I guess a real review needs a bit more than that, though, so I’ll give it to you – with as little squeeing and gushing as possible 😉įirst of all, I already met Kimba in the Kingmaker series, and I loved her there. Queen Move was so good I feel like I should just tell everyone to pick it up on release day.

Ryan – compelling characters, a beautiful love story, and important issues handled beautifully! Queen Move was yet another masterpiece by Ms.
