bandherbooks 's review for:

The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
4.0

Book 2 of this series made me super glad I stuck with it. Elisa is newly crowned queen, but is struggling to gain power and respect as ruler of a land she is not from. More information surfaces about her fate as the bearer of the god stone and another adventure awaits her.

The action in book 2 is much more riveting, along with the love story (much more plausible) than book 1. Gone are the terrible body issues (thankfully) although it was a bit weird they were such a focus in the first go around and now they are merely an afterthought. Ah well.
