Dangerous Crowns by A.K. Fedeau
4.0
Overall, a really fun read! Intriguing, shocking, and satisfying. AK's writing is always a treat. The setting evolves naturally and doesn't get too bogged down in the details at the expense of character development or plot. Its historical influences make it feel fresh compared to the ever-present "historically-accurate" medieval England setting in other stories. There is enough conflict to keep you on edge, keep you invested as to whether or not the antagonist will get what he deserves. It puts you through it without gutting you entirely when things take a turn.
Livia and Marcus are likable from the beginning. Very well-rounded characters, and they work well both together and apart. I love their established romance - seems full of mutual respect, adoration, and the normal conflicts that they work through like the adults they are - it just feels very real and makes for a comfortable read. Will definitely be keeping my eye out for more from this author and/or this universe!
