Liar's Test
Liar's Test | Ambelin Kwaymullina
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
A gripping YA fantasy with a deadly contest to win a crown, a fierce heroine determined to right the wrongs done to her people, and a smoldering love story that could change everything... I didn’t want to rule the Risen. Wreak a little havoc upon them, though? That was something else entirely. Bell Silverleaf is a liar. It’s how she’s survived. It’s how all Treesingers have survived, after they were invaded by the Risen and their gods. But now—thanks to some political maneuvering—Bell is in the Queen’s Test. She’s one of seven girls competing in deadly challenges to determine who rules for the next twenty-five years. If Bell wins, she’ll use the power to help her people and get her revenge on the Risen. But Bell doesn’t know how much she’s been lied to. She’s part of a conspiracy stretching back generations, and she’s facing much bigger dangers than the Queen’s Test. She’s up against the gods themselves. Getting hold of that crown might just be the least of her problems. Aboriginal writer Ambelin Kwaymullina has created a fast-paced, twisty narrative and an unforgettable heroine inspired by the strength and power of Aboriginal women.

This was a fun and sweet book. Felt like a pretty young YA (for example, there‘s a romance but the feelings aren‘t overwhelming and they only kiss once), which isn‘t my favorite, and the world with the competition among seven girls to be queen felt almost like a parody of other YA novels. But the Treesinger culture is wonderful, and I enjoyed the book.
