Über diesen Titel

The first book in the million-copy, Wall Street Journal bestselling Kingfountain series from Jeff Wheeler.

King Severn Argentine’s fearsome reputation precedes him: usurper of the throne, killer of rightful heirs, ruthless punisher of traitors. Attempting to depose him, the Duke of Kiskaddon gambles...and loses. Now the duke must atone by handing over his young son, Owen, as the king’s hostage. And should his loyalty falter again, the boy will pay with his life.

Seeking allies and eluding Severn’s spies, Owen learns to survive in the court of Kingfountain. But when new evidence of his father’s betrayal threatens to seal his fate, Owen must win the vengeful king’s favor by proving his worth - through extraordinary means. And only one person can aid his desperate cause: a mysterious woman, dwelling in secrecy, who truly wields power over life, death, and destiny.

The Queen's Poisoner has a decent story and I enjoyed the audiobook, however in my opinion nothing much happens in the first half. I think only after 4 to 5 hours of listening you're past the blurb of the book.
Also you might want to know before you start the book, that "youngest son" means that the main character is in fact 8 years old and stays 8, no time lapses, since I had different expectations.
Overall the world building is good, I liked the characters and the "magic system" sounds interesting so far. I expect to learn more about it in the future. It has a couple of nice twist and the end is a good set-up for the next book, which I'm going to start on soon.

Slow first half and child main character, but good
