A review by sturmhonds
A Throne of Swans by Katharine Corr
5.0
I'll be honest. I only picked this up because the cover is STUNNING and bookdepo had it at a discounted price. I did NOT expect to love this book so much??? Ordered the sequel halfway through and I'm literally counting down the days until it arrives.
This book gave me major game of thrones vibes and I was LIVING for it. I'm absolutely in LOVE with Aderyn who is such a badass, despite being frustrating at times. But then again, given the sheltered life she lived, she exceeded all the expectations I had for her. I went into this expecting a spoilt, selfish girl but instead I got this brave, reckless, heroine who's willing to die to protect her dominion.
And the romance, despite only kicking in at the middle/towards the end (the two main characters spend an absurd amount of time pining for each other and the slowburn was killing me), had me swooning and squealing. If Aderyn and Lucien don't end up together I'll riot istg.
I'll admit, a few aspects of the book were slightly predictable and while I did enjoy having my predictions come true, there also were turns where I was shocked beyond words and had to shut the book to comprehend what just happened lmao.
The ending was INSANE and I did NOT see it coming at all??? I have a lot of questions which I hope "A Crown of Talons" answers. Best impulse buy ever!
