Jester by Brielle D. Porter – Review By Shavon Brown

Jester by Brielle D. Porter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book will have you hooked from the very beginning.

In Oasis it is all about being Jester. A great honor to work for the queen herself. But everyone has a different motive for wanting the position. Let’s meet our main cast shall we…

Lisette/Mirage – daughter of the late Judge who was executed for murdering the King. She wants this position to get away from the stigma and make a path for herself.

Luc- the competition. A great street performer who takes every opportunity to be a thorn in Lisettes side. Though later in the book we find out that he is in fact the bastard child of the late King and wants the Jester position to prove the Queen killed his father.

Yasmin- A really good friend. A pet trainer and magician herself. She helps Lisette get close to the Queen and they become friends. Though we see in the book Lisette does not know how to handle that.

Cillian – Lisette’s trainer and friend. Owner of a cat and a bookshop (Both things I love that made him my favorite character hands down). Blackmailed by Lisette to give her his magic they quickly become friends with great back and fourth banter.

The Queen – Though she comes off as the grieving widower. We see that she is very smart and highly underestimated. And just like everyone else she has a plan of her own.

In the book the Queen and her seekers have come to Oasis to find a new Jester and nothing goes according to plan. There is betrayal, magic, and lies in the air as everyone is looking out for themselves or so it seems.

Things I loved about this book. Strong Female Lead. Quick paced read. Great Friendships. Happy Ending.

I’m just going to say this because I believe it needs to be said. This book did not need a romance angle. and it is the one thing I truly did not like about this book. That and the fact that I wanted Lisette to continue to have her Father’s magic so she could have a relationship with her brother and maybe even father as they are take away from her unjustly. Also the ending did seem a bit anti-climatic.
