#Review of Queen of Tomorrow (Stolen Empire #2) by @AuthorSherry

Sophie—now Catherine, Grand Duchess of Russia—had a tough first year at Imperial Court. Married at sixteen to Grand Duke Peter, heir to the throne, and settled in their own palace, things are finally looking up. As a new day dawns, she thinks only of securing her future, and the future of their country, during one of the greatest political upheavals of her time. Fighting desperately against forces trying to depose the Empress Elizabeth and put the young Prince Ivan on her throne, Sophie soon finds herself in the middle of a war brewing between her beloved Prussia, and her new empire. But even as she navigates the fragile political landscape, she quickly realizes that she has only begun to discover the tangled web of deceit and infidelity woven over the lavish court of Oranienbaum Palace.

When a strange and delicate alliance forms between the young couple, she glimpses a future of happiness, only to see it lost in a moment at the hands of those who still seek to end her life—and prevent her reign. Out of favor with the empress and running out of options, Sophie will have to sacrifice her own innocence on the altar of Russia if she is to save the nation, and herself. To survive, she will have to do the unthinkable, betray those closest to her and become something greater and more dangerous than she ever imagined she could be… a queen.

A former military brat, she loves to travel and meet new people. She can often be found browsing her local bookstore with a large white hot chocolate in one hand and a towering stack of books in the other. That is, unless she's on deadline at which time she, like the Loch Ness monster, is only seen in blurry photographs.

Ok first off AAAAAAAA I just love that cover!!!! I think this one is my fav but its in a war with book three!!!  

Ok so this one picks up after book one leaves off.  I have to say that this story just ripped my heart out. Sophie grows so much in this book and I loved the entire thing.  I finished it in an hour and a half and I just couldn't put it down. 

By the end of this book Sophie is just done with all the bull crap.  She is going out for blood and that just makes the ending that much better.  

This series I could see writers and schools using to show how a character changes over the course of a book. It is a must read!!!  

 Go Into This One Knowing 
It will make you cheer, cry, and scream for book three.
