manikahemmerixh 's review for:
The Crimson Crown
by Heather Walter
I love villain origin stories, and I like that this one held elements I could recognize from Snow White but also read like it could be about a unique villain never explored before. Walter does the worldbuilding needed to let The Crimson Crown stand on its own, and I look forward to reading The Witch Queen. While there is a line of betrayals that I can see leading to how this book ends, I am curious to see how that further develops in the second book. You don't start a villain origin story expecting a "happy" ending, but I think that I need more to fully wrap my head around the trajectory of Ayleth's path (especially if I'm thinking all the way to the Evil Queen).
