A review by melsshelves
The Rivaled Crown by Holly Renee

2.0

I think this would work for people who love smut-heavy fantasy all the way through. 

I also think that HR’s fantasy series do not stick the landing for me.

The first book in both series are a fast, fun, giggly good time, but the last book always has me cringing at the dialogue, wishing it was over, and wondering if the first book was actually as good as I remember?

HR would be better off writing fantasy duologies instead of trilogies. Even though the books are so short, they are overwritten with repetitive love-declaration dialogue and chapters long scenes.
