The Queen of the Cicadas

I thought it was going good up until The Queen's POV. I felt the tension deflate once her perspective was shown and plans revealed and then around the 60 % mark I started to get bored and then around 70% I started skimming until the end. I lost interest in the plot and did not care what became of the characters I just wanted to be done with the story. I think this would have worked better as a novella without all the extra filler at the end. A love interest pops up in the last 20% of the book along with a double pregnancy...this was not the book for me.
