Are you a fantasy, mystical, or magical book lover seeking the perfect book just for you? Then I humbly suggest you read this multi-genre book, Requiem For A Queen, by Kaylin McFarren. Kaylin McFarren is a fantastic author who lives in San Diego, California, USA. She is a mother and grandmother of three and a lover of dogs. She is also not only a multi-award-winning author who has won over 60 national literary awards but also the director of a fine art gallery in the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon, and a governor-appointed member of the Oregon Arts Commission.

This book, Requiem For A Queen, consists of 325 pages and has thirty-nine chapters. The storyline of this book majorly revolves around three characters: Samara Daemonium; Lucifer; and Papillion, the son of both Samara and Lucifer. After the war between Middle Earth and Hell, Samara had to sacrifice herself for the successful escape of her comrades, hence becoming a prisoner of Lucifer. As Lucifer's prisoner, Samara was tortured, raped, and brutalized by Lucifer. With nothing but her strong willpower, she was able to escape hell. After her escape, she noticed she was pregnant and tried hiding the baby because she knew Lucifer would come for his child. Unfortunately for her, she and her child were found by Lucinda, Lucifer's daughter. Unlike Lucifer, who loved Samara, Lucinda took Papillion from Samara and tried to kill her. Would Samara and Papillion reunite, or would Samara never see Papillion again? Give the book a try to find out.

I enjoyed every part of this book, from the writing style to the storyline. I admire the author's precise writing style, but one of the things I loved about this book was how it started. I love the poem that began the book. I also loved the quotes that were at the start of the book. My favourite quote was the one from an anonymous speaker. It goes: "You can't defeat your demons if you still enjoy their company." To some extent, the quote refers to Samara Daemonium and her relationship with Lucifer. I particularly loved how brave and selfless Samara was when protecting Papillon.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike in this book. It had no errors, nor did it have flaws. It is an exceptionally well-edited book. The other thing I loved so much about this book was the plot twist. I can, at least to an extent, guess the possible scenarios that can happen when reading a book, but this book held me in suspense, and I was unable to predict much of it.

I wholeheartedly rate this book five out of five stars. As indicated above, not only did the book hold my interest from beginning to end, but it has neither errors nor negative aspects. Thus, it deserves the rating it has received.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of fantasy novels and to people who enjoy non-fiction books mixed with other genres, such as magic and action.

A crime story that revolves around three main characters, Samara, Lucifer, and Papillion. The story talks about how Samara was abused and raped by Lucifer which lead to her giving birth to Papillion. The author's writing style is admirable. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the book. Nice review.

This book is so unique and enchanting! I read a lot of dark fantasy, but I haven’t seen a story quite like this one before. It’s exciting, edgy, and fast-paced, and I love the supernatural elements, yet all of the action and drama doesn’t undermine the emotion that runs throughout the story. It’s highly character-driven, and there’s a lot of depth to enjoy and ruminate over. Plus, the style is inviting and beautiful. Even in the middle of another world, I didn’t feel lost even once. I was swept along from the first page, and when I made it to the end, I wanted more—highly recommended!

This book sounds like something that right up my alley. It falls within my favourite genres, so I'll probably try it out. Wonderful review by the way!

[Grace Elkana]

The cover of this book is already enticing. It has the makings of an alternate universe story. I already see myself enjoying it.

[Hazel Mae Bagarinao]

It looks like the story of the underworld. The characters are intriguing. What would happen to Papillion? What would happen to Samara? I would like to try reading this book. You gave an intriguing review of this book. Good job!

[Geraldokeke]

A fantasy book with intriguing characters and a suspenseful plot? Count me in immediately
I am so reading this after my current book.

[Grace Lee Rose]

Samara's motherly love and affection is evident in her determination to protect her son, Papillon at all cost. Her courage is heart warming. Reading this book wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks for a lovely review.

The cover of the book picture how the story is, wonderful. I mean the review is quite interesting kudos to the author of the book I salute you.nice review.

[ELSETH MAEVE]

What a predicament for Samara and Papillion! I think that Lucinda does not like sharing her father and the throne with anyone. Your review is both informative and interesting too. The book is a good read, though scary too.

[Prince Oyedeji Oyeleke Jayeola]

Even if I don't enjoy reading mysteries or magical stories, your review and the book cover page have created curiosity in me to read. Wonderful review well-done.

Already eager to know what happened to Papillion and Samara Daemonium!! Being one of my favorite genres would definitely try reading the book. Very clear and apt review.

[Jay David Randall]

I would love to know what Papillion grew up to be, did he end up like his father Lucifer or did he possess the courage and willpower of his mother? This summary of this review is detailed and I like it.

[NetMassimo]

This fantasy novel seems intense in the protagonists' feelings as they act in favor or against each other, wanting to save, capture, or kill someone. Thank you for your great review!

I agree with the review mentioning the many qualities of the book. I liked the story and the fact that the ending was unexpected. Indeed not a lot of errors. However, there was just one topic that puzzled me, regarding the Phoenix. If it wasn't for the Phoenix they would not have been able to control Lucifer's influence. Also before getting pregnant, Samara thought that she was the Phoenix, but it turned out to be someone else, so I didn't quite understand why the Phoenix was not mentioned again.
