The audiobook is good but I had to DNF when Alyssa didn't kill Edgar. Like, this is why I don't read much YA anymore. I wanted to see him die and her have to deal with the aftermath. Or her kill him, get away with it, help someone else get on the throne, and then struggle with confessing. Something other than, boo-hoo I don't want to be a murderer even though he killed her in cold blood in front of me for the throne and ISN'T GOING TO FACE ANY OTHER CONSEQUENCE. I'm so filled with rage tbh. I finished the first book - TORE through it - because it is SO GOOD. Really disappointed, like if you're going to decide not to kill him do it before getting in that situation, decide. Fine, I'm going to work with the prime families to prove he did it and get someone else on the throne, get into the politics I've always avoided. Just, HATE this direction (personally. It's still a great story if you want a purely good hero one-dimensional character).

This book was SO. EFFING. GOOD!!!!! Seriously I am stunned. I thought I was going into this cute little sci-fi duology but no. This is about revolution and leadership and grief and family. It feels way bigger than just the main character and it was so stunning. I listened to it on audiobook which I highly recommend - the narrator was fantastic and she brought so much life to the series!! Honestly this was like a better, more concise version of stars wars lmao.

Thronebreakers is the sequel and conclusion to Crownchasers. Things are left pretty up in the air in the final pages of the first book. So, we open to Alyssa and Hellmouth a few weeks (maybe days, I don’t remember), later and they’re on their way to enact the first step of their plan to avenge their friend and save the empire.
Without going into much detail about the plot, I can say that this book has the same action-filled and exciting plot. It was fast-paced and the stakes were high making the whole story a tense experience. I liked Alyssa. She felt like a real character. She was hurting and maybe not making the best decisions. But that made things more fun.
The best part was the romance with Hellmouth. I just loved them both together so much.
Overall, I highly recommend this duology. The whole and politics were interesting. I loved the competition to find their new leader and the repercussions of that competition. I loved the characters and their relationships. They were hurt and that hurt was shown, which I appreciated. I highly recommend these two books.
