karrakoren 's review for:
A Crown of Chains
by Erin Phillips
I don't like books where I can tell pretty early on the religious beliefs of the author. It's tiring. It's a tired concept.
Make no mistake, this was a book about religion. That's all I can tell you. It had the potential to be really cool and there were parts of it that I liked but you could absolutely tell the author was overwhelmingly Christian. I'm not sure what the purpose of this book was, tbh. Was it to make the FMC stronger? Was it to reform the MMC? Was it to save the FMCs people? There doesn't seem to be an actual point. The ending with the king softening to the queen comes from nowhere? Like this guy killed people for fun, mutilated his previous wife bc she upset him, and raped young girls. Not really sure why he gets a redemption arc.
I wish I hadn't read this lol the only thing I'll say is I was impressed with the author not shrinking away from death and details. Women were raped (it's more than implied, even if you don't "see" it), people important to the story were killed and mutilated, the FMC kills people.
