Initially the premise of this book was interesting. The twist about the father of the girl and the current queen was a surprise. The parts of the book that were told in third person were well-done. The countless pages of dialogue just weren’t interesting and didn’t flow well. For the most part there really wasn’t a lot going on in the book other than a search for a kid so they could transfer power. Thus, the lack of complexity left me looking for more.

The Girl Who Stole the Queen's Eyes is a fantastic novel. The story begins with a tale of forbidden love which results with the power of the crown being usurped by an unplanned pregnancy. Fast-forward to the present day we are introduced to the main character, Camilla, a kind and loving girl who feels out of place in her high school.
As the story unfolds we learn that Camilla is the child from the forbidden love that has stolen the crown. On Camilla's 18th birthday her eyes change, she has unbeknownst to her stolen the Crown's power and with it the Queen's sight. The Queen will stop at nothing to get her sight back, even if it means making an 18-year-old blind for the rest of her life.

I loved the concept of this book, the prologue had me hooked from the very beginning. I thought the character development was well done and relatable. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer but that's simply because I devoured it one day.

This book was pretty good. Not my favorite but it wasn’t bad by any means. The narration style was a lot different then what I’m used to but it was interesting to see someone write this way. I thought the concept of the book was cool and I liked that there was two pov’s. Overall not that bad. I probably wouldn’t read it again but I would buy it for my shelves.

I feel bad because this is my first pre-published book read, but I just did not enjoy it. I like the prologue and felt like it was setting up an interesting world, but then we mostly leave that world. The biggest part of this story lives in a present-day high school, with an awkward, self-doubting teen.
I like the cover and found the title intriguing. I assumed or maybe hoped that it was more metaphorical, but it is meant almost quite literal.
Ultimately, Camilla is kind of sweet but for me unrelatable, especially her annoyance with getting compliments for her eyes...

Great idea. Great plot. Although the heroine was a little too mellow and naive to my test. I hope that in the next book, which I am waiting too, this will change.
