i really enjoyed this story,i felt the relationship between Sylvia and Arin was very entertaining. i really like the epilogue. i felt sylvia was a strong was fearless.i like the conclusion was stunning.
I would award this more than 5 stars if I could. Sara Hashem has created such a beautiful story in this duology and I love it so much, I was sad that it ended. The last chunk of this book was read through tears.
I just have to say that The Jasad Crown started out with a bang and absolutely never let up. It chased me through the pages and kept threatening me like a deranged goose. There were times I wanted to sit with what I read and take it in but there were (many) other times where I binged chapters at a time and wasn’t able to stop.
I’ve talked so much about The Jasad Heir to anyone that would listen but now I get to rave even more about the complete duology and do my best to press these books into the hands of readers that will love these characters and this world. I’m so happy that I could be talking to my buddy reading bestie about it because she also had an ARC and we both needed to weep and frantically text about it more.
Thank you to Net Galley and Orbit for providing a copy of this to me in exchange for an honest review! I can’t wait to have the physical version in my hands to read the duology again.

The fact that this duology never actually had a spot to go on my shelves and was just sitting on my desk waiting for me to read them feels, in hindsight, like a portent of what was to come.
My god I wanted to love this so much but I just didn't. The writing felt slightly off, like even through descriptions of horrible things happening and big emotions everything was still slightly sarcastic and not hitting the mark and despite how much I like the idea of the characters I just didn't click with them at all.
Very unfortunate, but I guess I don't need to figure out where to put these two books on my shelves anymore so that's a win?

I know I’ll be in the minority here, but I was a bit disappointed with book two. For me, it didn’t really feel like an adult fantasy. At times the characters came across as a bit immature. I also felt that the romantic elements and the political plotlines were competing with each other, leaving me unsatisfied with both. Personally, I think this story would have worked better as a trilogy.That said, there are still so many aspects I love about this series, the diversity, the worldbuilding, and the magic system. I just wish the execution had been a bit more fluid, and I wasn’t fully satisfied with the ending. Still, I’m excited to see what this author creates next and will definitely be looking forward to their future work.

This was such an incredible conclusion to this series 😭 I am unwell. I love Essiya and Arin with my entire being, they're so good. They are the definition of yearning and I'll never get over it.
Sara has such an incredible way with words and did such a good job taking these characters and this story to a wonderful end. I think the first 1/3 of the book was slower than I would have liked, but the audiobook does such an incredible job that I didn't think it was too noticable. It helped that we got more POV characters, which I absolutely loved.
Thank you to the publisher and author for the eARC, I did purchase the audiobook myself as I loved the narration from Jasad Heir.
