The Rivaled Crown
by Holly Renee
I had to drag myself to the finish line for this and I’m quite sad about it.
I was very excited for the finale to this trilogy because I absolutely loved book 1, Veiled Kingdom, and while I thought book 2, Hunted Heir, was too short with nothing really relevant happening, I still enjoyed it.
Rivaled Crown, however, started out pretty strong. It immediately locked in my attention and I practically devoured the first 25% and then…it just dragged on and on and onnnnnn….
And to be honest, it was quite cringe.
Seriously, I was cringing most of the time that Dacre and Verena are talking to each other because it’s literally consistently extremely POETIC.
I swear no couple speaks like this ALL THE TIME, not even in fantasy books.
They rarely had any normal conversation. Every time they talk to each other, it’s like someone shoved down a poetry book down both their throats.
The ending was pretty anticlimactic. It’s weird that Dacre’s dad was redeemed when he’s basically President Coin from Hunger Games. It was weird.
I just really truly enjoyed the first quarter hence the 3 stars.
Oh and plus the spicy scenes are actually good. At least when they’re going to poundtown, they talk like normal people.
