The Queen of Nothing (2019) is the third book of the series. It follows Jude and Cardan as they face not just Madoc who is hungry for the power and position of the throne, but also the extent of their love for each other. [6] This story has a duel timeline and it's told in the past and present format. It's a heart-breaking story of Harriet's search to find out the truth about her family. The historical part of the story is based on true events. The Olympic was the Titanic and Britannic's sister ship - three sisters, three sister ships. The author has done her research before writing this book. Even some of the characters were real people. The part that was written in the present day were just as interesting. The Bomb, from the Court of Shadows, tells Jude that they have intercepted a note from Balekin asking Cardan to visit him in prison. Jude goes to visit Balekin instead, but he does not tell her anything about his plans. Jude learns from a prison guard named Vulciber that messages are being exchanged by Balekin and Orlagh, queen of the Undersea, to undermine Cardan's rule. Jude is surprised since Orlagh's daughter, Nicasia, is one of Cardan's friends. While at the prison, Jude encounters Cardan's mother, Asha.

You’re awful.” He said it as though he was delighted. “And the worst part is that you believe otherwise.” The contemporary story isn’t stronger than the historical one, and maintaining the links and resonances between them is something the author manages particularly well, but there were times when I found it more engaging. Harriet was particularly easy to identify with – I empathised with the way she’d neglected her relationship with her brother, really liked the tentative steps towards a reconciliation, and there were aspects to her difficult relationship with her daughter Davina that worked particularly well at an emotional level. And there are quite a few surprises – connected with the story of her grandmother and her sisters, but also stemming from the twists and turns of the contemporary one. She turned to me, head titled, her expression pure confusion. As though I had no reason to be afraid of a broken heart. She had no idea how dangerous a broken heart could be. You do, though. You know.” I really enjoyed this dual time-line story and felt completely connected to the characters. Laughing and smiling with them, I also felt their sadness and tragedies as well. I think this is a book that will stay with me for a while.

Eleven explains her situation to Kali, who says that Hopper is being naive if he thinks he can bargain with the men from Hawkins National Laboratory, as Eleven will always be a monster to them.

Eleven has a vision of Hopper apologizing to her through the radio, Kali wakes her up before she can react.An engrossing story from beginning to end, THE LOST SISTER sweeps you away to another time and into the history of Titanic and her two lesser known sisters, Olympic and Britannic. Kathleen McGurl has meticulously researched the history of these liners interspersing them with a fictional tale of three other sisters around the same time. The journey she takes us on is as emotional as it is heartbreaking through her wonderful cast of characters. Her depiction of Titanic's demise was breathtaking as well as poignant as one of the most famous events in history is interwoven with this book's own tragic tale. The story starts in present day with Harriet who’s recently been widowed and is decluttering her attic as she prepares to move from her large family home to a smaller property. During the sort, she comes across her grandmothers sea trunk from when she worked on board ocean liners. Amongst the items is a photograph of three sisters. This discovery surprises Harriet as her grandmother only ever mentioned having one sister. As the novel progresses, the narrative effortlessly switches between Emma and Harriet. I loved how seamless this was and, watching events unfold, could not believe how many parallels are made between the different generations of this family. Emma’s narrative was particularly gripping because of my history awareness but, at the same time, I loved being with Harriet on her journey of moving, learning about her grandmother and supporting her daughters. Her estranged relationship with Davina was very touching but, the storyline of her grandson was more harrowing. Therefore, I thought this novel encouraged a range of emotions as you really get to know this family to the core.
