Another option is to check some second - hand bookstores. Sometimes you can find some relatively rare novels there at a more affordable price. You can call them in advance to ask if they have the 'Shadow Queen' novel in stock.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it yet. But generally, it might be about a female character who has some kind of power or influence in a shadowy or mysterious world.
The 'Shadow Queen Light Novel' could potentially revolve around a character who is in the shadow, meaning she may not be in the spotlight initially. It could be a story of her journey to gain recognition or power. Maybe she has to face many challenges and political intrigue in a fantasy - like setting, with different factions and characters that either help or hinder her progress.
It depends. If the novel is available for free on the official website of the author or publisher, then it is legal. For example, some authors offer their works for free as a promotion or for a limited time.
Goodreads is a great place to start. It often has links to where you can find the book for reading, whether it's on a paid e - book site or sometimes even free on the author's official website. Another option could be Google Books, which has a large collection of books and might have 'Queen of Shadows' available for preview or purchase.
I'm not sure which novel you're referring to because you didn't provide any context or information. If you can provide more details or background information, I will try my best to provide you with a more accurate answer.
You can try Project Gutenberg. It has a wide range of classic stories available for free, and there's a good chance 'The Snow Queen' can be found there.
