The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye

4.0

I'm really glad I read this book despite all the 1 & 2 star reviews on here. I wish I hadn't read all the bad reviews, as I feel like it did make me more critical of it than I would have been otherwise, yet I still really enjoyed it. The writing may not have felt super sophisticated (for lack of a better word) but I still certainly didn't think it was bad. And most importantly, I enjoyed reading a story set somewhere I've never read about before (Russia!) It's always refreshing to read fantasy that doesn't use the same western European base for their ideas about magic (and mythology, and monarchy, etc etc). I'm looking forward to the next book!
