The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon

4.5

dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

First I must say this books cover doesn’t do it justice. It looks like a dark romantasy book and I was not expecting it to a book that was more about court political intrigue and a very well established magic system. The writing is excellent. I would have given this 5 stars if the characters hadn’t infuriated me (this is definitely part of the story so not a flaw in the writing but it did take me out of the story a few times a personally). These characters really are morally gray and this isn’t really a romance because the romantic aspect is not the forefront of the story. I am really looking forward to next book for the character development I know is coming, this book most certainly set up a lot of the story that is to come and the characters still have a lot to work on.
