This might just be better than the first, which is kind of difficult because Shadows of the Crown was in my top five for 2024.
It was one thing after another and really kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time you were reading. You could feel how high the stakes were. We got more in depth world building and more into the magic system as well.
I really loved that Ariella is starting to let Caspian in just a bit more. She's still really closed off from him and continually pushes him away, but there's moments where she lets in him 🥹. Poor Caspian, though. He comes back to her time after time no matter how hard she pushes because he just loves her stabby self.
There were definitely a few what the heck moments and like?? What was that about?? Need to know immediately. I have a few guesses but I want to devour book three to find out if I'm right. Also? There's a recap of book one at the beginning 😌.
