《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'The Fire Queen' by user200107

I have so many mixed feelings about this. I don't even know where to start. I am CONFLICTED at best. Please bear with me while I try to sort out my thoughts.
This book isn't bad. It's got it's good parts. It's got its fair share of... good things? But it also has many flaws and we'll just have to see how they balance each other out.
This story is about Eleftheria, born Prince Eleftherios, the transgender prince(ss) of Greece. Eleftheria has fire powers that she has to hide from her brother Gregory. On the day of her coronation, everything goes to shit. King Eleftherios flees to Mount Everest, switches genders and becomes Queen Eleftheria. It's up to Gregory to find her.
As you can see, this is inspired by Frozen. Dunno if it classifies as Frozen fanfiction or original story, so we'll call it 'Original Frozen Story'.
I can't call the plot original. It's literally Frozen with different characters, different setting, etc. However, I can't call it unoriginal either, because the changes that are made are fairly original... I think.
Same goes for the characters. I do have to say that I don't think every interaction between then is realistic. Example:
"Oops! I forgot it that you're carrying our second son."
How the fuck do you forget about your child. How is this stupid bitch still king of Greece. How is Agapi not thinking 'what did I ever see in this truly inexplicable example of stupidity'. How have the people of Greece not decided to behead this loser yet.
Anyways. That's an example. Realism, people!
The GPS is, as you can see in the screenshot, not always spot-on. Actually, it isn't most of the time. I'd recommend editing and an English course on Duolingo.
What I do like about the story, is the message it conveys, namely that things such as homosexuality and being transgender are natural and okay. Good message! Keep sending that one!
It's kind of an enjoyable story, once you get past the flaws. I guess I can say it's a....
...fixer-upper....
Alright I'm done.

Waking from a slumber aeons long, it brought with it the last of the humans it had kept in stasis. Enter a story of magic and technology where mages battle with lightning and spaceships alike. Follow along as they explore the remnants of their golden age and rebuild their civilization from dust. They’re the paradox, the precursors come back to haunt the present.
