A review by katyanaish
Crown of Crystal Flame by C.L. Wilson

4.0

I enjoyed it, and I'm sure I'll re-read it, but I feel like there were a lot of loose ends. Like, with the little Eld slave girl and the kids. With the kids as a whole - what is happening with them? With the dal'reisen - how can she not be healing them all? With her sisters and Kieren/Kiel?

I think I was also a little disappointed with Ellie. It felt like ... with each book she became more of a damsel - more terrified of herself, less likely to do ... well, anything. She was also super stupid at the end. Like ... it was a bit contrived, how she ended up in that final encounter, it was so stupid.

That all said, I really liked the series. It was just a little bit of an iffy wrap-up. And I would have liked to see more of Ellysetta really embracing what she is - it feels like she just ... I don't know. Leveled up and handed her power to Rain. *shrug*
