A Crown of Petals and Ice by Shannon Mayer, Kelly St. Clare
5.0
A crown unwanted, A forbidden love and a war that is about to turn a world upside down. Can a newly crowned queen save her people and the love of her life without losing her own life?
This entire series is fantastic! I read this book over night and of course was exhausted the next day, but so worth it.
The characters are well developed, the story moves at a great pace with enough twists to pull you in and keep you turning the pages. The ending was perfect and I hope leads to a new story line with some of the other characters.
Kallik is now queen of both Seelie and Unseelie Fae not something that she is comfortable with. She has set Faolan up as her regent in the Unseelie palace while she stayed in the Seelie palace at least until she could figure out a way to join the two courts.
Neither Faolan or Kallik wanted their positions as leaders but the Oracle had declared Kallik queen of both courts so there was nothing she or anyone else could do about it.
When Kallik is called to deal with a deadly adversary she must use everything that she has ever learned every skill she was taught and find a strength that she did not know she possessed in order to save her people, her love and ensure a safe happy future for those she loves.
The oracle makes a return and of course plays an important roll in this book. Kallik and Faolan face Rubezahl the Fae that they all thought Queen Elisavanna had locked away in Underhill.
In order to keep humans safe and to stay at peace with them Kallik and Faolan must get Rubezahl back to Underhill where they can fight his army out of sight of the humans. Even though they know that he is stronger in Underhill than anywhere else.
I can not say much more without giving away things in this book, but I can say that many of our favorite characters return and we get to meet a new kind of Fae and a few new characters.
Did I mention the dragon? No? Well, there is an actual dragon in this one. Just read it, you will love it. I do suggest that you start with the first book in the series A Court of Honey and Ash.
