I'm usually dispointed with the last books in series because they never live up to what I have imagined whilst reading. But this book, this series! I loved every word and every page!

My Review:
What a wonderful, incredible, and breathtaking conclusion to a series I absolutely loved. The Crimson Crown was action-packed, completely riveting, heart-stopping, and stunning. And realizing that this was the last book of the series really brings a tear to my eye because I came to love this world that Chima created and the characters held within.
The story-line was as action-packed as the other books, with toe-curling tension, and dangerous political games around every corner. But now both Raisa and Han are even deeper into the political twist and pull of the magic counsel and the other varies groups that surround the throne. Every scene built at such a lovely pace, and yes, it built a bit slow (like nearly every high-fantasy read). I, however, could not get enough of it. It took time for things to unravel, for secrets that had been hidden for over a thousand years to be revealed, and for true trust to be gained, but when it did, it pulled me even more into the story.
Raisa and Han have both been on a whirlwind of an adventure, both separately and together. I’ve watched them grow, discovery themselves, fight their attraction, find trust in each other, ultimately come together, discover secrets, unravel plots, and then find happiness. The growth they have experience is by far my favorite aspect of the entire series and something I couldn’t get enough of. I loved where they were at the end of the book and who they became.
The plot does throw quite a few twists and turns at you, and some really took me by surprise. Though I did figure out a few of the twists, the book was completely engrossing. I came to love so many characters in the book and loved that I was able to get a glimpse of all of them.
The ending was absolutely beautiful and very much deserved for all the characters. The building of the world was deep and the culture, the people, the land that Chima created diverse, realistic, and beautifully detailed.
The Crimson Crown was an amazing journey of a read. Watching Han and Raisa fight, struggle, love, overcome every obstacle they faced, and then find their happy ending, well, it was magnificent. I loved this book, I loved this series. I felt it was a perfect ending to a wonderful story.

Okay, first of all let me just say, thank you Chima for not forgetting one of the most important characters of the whole Seven Realms series. That epilogue was beautiful. It might be odd that this is the first thing I want to get out of my system, considering the brilliance of this whole series, but I wholeheartedly appreciate that the author wrapped up the story with that epilogue.
While most people would consider the author's way of storytelling a little slow, I like to think she is building up everything perfectly, making sure no detail is missed out. All the events stack on top of each other flawlessly.
This was the perfect ending to a pretty darn awesome series. I just hate that it had to end.

Not the ending I was hoping for. I knew 1/2 way through the ending would be a dud because there was like 10 open story lines and nothing was wrapping up or coming to conclusion, more was just happening. This is an immediate indicator that the ending will be rushed, and anticlimactic… exactly what it was… predictable, and kind of lame. It also just ends, for as much words and rambling went into 4 book, there could have been a little more detail in the resolution.
So over all it was a good book to read bc I kept picking it up and I wanted to know how it was gonna play out but in the end it just didn’t wow anything.. the whole series ending is like 1 chapter and it really doesn’t even tell a good story. There is zero closure for 95% of the character plots. If you’re gonna give a lame predictable happily ever after then at least make it worth it to read a good ending. I would probably recommend this is your really into ya fantasy or if you’ve read all the other good romantasy stories and are a fast reader so it’s not a huge waste of time.
