Once a King by Erin Summerill

3.0

If I wasnt Already In love with the magical world created by Erin Sumerill, I definitely am now after reading the 3rd book in the Clash of Kingdoms series, Once a King. Warning, this review will contain spoilers. For those of you who have read the 1st two books in this series and loved King Aodren, then this book is for you. Once a King is about Aodren as he attends the Kingdoms Summit and is trying to dismantle the legacy his father set for Malam. It also Follows Lirra who just wants to prove herself to her father. As their Lives intertwine, Lirra and Aodren find out that some dark stuff is occurring under their noses. I really enjoyed getting to read more about this world and the things going on inside it. Aodren and Lirra were so cute together and
I was so happy when they finally realized they liked each other. The Mystery of the sanguine oil was really interesting and a very unique plot for typical YA fantasy. The Biggest Plot twist of all was Who the supplier of the sanguine oil was! I mean maybe I should have seen it coming after she made her distaste for Aodren and Malam very clear, but still..
Overall I really Liked Once a King, it was a great book and I’m very sad that the story had come to an end.
