Sistar Sunra's novel Queen of Hearts is about a young woman named Mandisa Isoka King. Mandisa comes from a bad family with a tyrannical father who has caused her a lot of misery. As a result, she is traumatized and in need of healing. Mandisa and her mother flee to a Texas town to avoid her father. She meets and falls in love with Hakim there. Hakim, on the other hand, has secrets of his own that could push her away. Mandisa learns to love and trust others while healing from her emotional scars in this book. This is the first installment in a series that seems to be extremely enjoyable.

The relationship between Mandisa, Hakim, and Darius struck me as unconventional. Readers will have to read the book to learn more, but I found it to be rather unique. It piqued my curiosity in the book since I was intrigued by how they would handle this relationship. There were also serious subjects in the novel that I had not encountered previously, such as modern slavery. This kept me glued to the book, as I was interested to see how the events in the book would unfold.

I appreciated how loyal the characters were to one another. I thought the bond between Hakim and Darius was particularly unique since they were willing to go to bat for each other. I admired how they handled their relationship with Mandisa and loved reading about it. I enjoyed how all of the characters had flaws because it made them seem more human. When I read about all of their troubles and the emotional trauma that occurred, it was easier for me to connect with them.

The misogyny that ran rampant throughout the novel was the one aspect of the book that I did not enjoy. The way the male characters described and talked about women made me uneasy. I got the idea that the majority of the male characters in the novel saw women as toys. I understand that the author made this choice on purpose, but it still made me uncomfortable.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it was enjoyable to read. I felt it to be really well edited since there was not a single typo or error to be detected. Readers should be aware, however, that this novel contains a lot of profanity. Because almost every interaction between the characters was loaded with profanity, you should avoid this book if you find it objectionable. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes unusual romantic stories, as that is exactly what it provides.

I like the the female protagonist has views towards life.

[Oliver Kalowela]

This review shows one thing that human beings will always have flaws and we should always try to understand each other. Also, the fact that Mandisa had to run away from his father to Texas for new life tells me that fathers have a big role to play in the life of their children, always treating them with love cause they do to their children will always have an effect on their adult life. Thank you for the review.
