Reviews for Attack of the Queen
ATTACK OF THE QUEEN offers for the fan of fantasy an exciting story of self-preservation underscored by a spiritual theme; expository scenes involving Adazzra’s and Moonrazer’s meeting, presented early in the story, tend to slow the progression of the story but it is well worth staying with the book as secrets of the Vlaad race are eventually revealed. The romance of Feodor and Adazzra, to author Cummings’s credit, does not overpower the action yet enhances the story enough to leave fantasy romance fans satisfied. One can detect some Christian inspiration in the story; subtle, and not preachy, a good read for lovers of the genre.

Attack Of The Queen is very well written fantasy. The plot is excellent and well planned. This story is interwoven with very strong religious beliefs; the regular worshipping of Jenico and strong moral beliefs held by many of the characters echo a Christian theme. As the sexual content is restricted to kissing and any description of the Vlaad Queen’s parasitic mating is left to the imagination, I would readily recommend this book to teenage readers as well as futuristic/science-fiction fans.

Attack of the Queen is a well written fantasy. It is a believable romance set in a distant land in another time and a very enjoyable read!

There are two things that make this book a pleasure to read. First is because it moves. There are no long drawn-out explanations of who people are, their history or the history of their religion. Instead, we are brought right into the heart of the conflict and get to know the characters as the story progresses. Specifically, through how they react to one another and the circumstances they are thrown into.
Secondly, everything about this story is real. The characters talk to one another the way friends do. Sometimes arguing but in the end respecting each other for who they are because they have always been there for each other. Even the love that Adazzra and Feodor find is real as to how it grows. I really appreciated it that Cummings did not fall into the “love at first sight” cliché that some authors think is necessary in romance novels. Instead we find two people who question their “destinies.” There is a deep-seeded sensuality between them, but instead they learn about each other from the inside out rather than physically first.
Overall I found this to be a book that I would recommend to anyone, even those who do not usually read books of the romance genre.
