So recently I've been reading out the wazoo and between school and work I have finally found some time to update my blog!
So a while ago I read The Crown of Embers, a sequel to The Girl of Fire and Thorns, by Rae Carson. It is a breathtaking sequel that readers will literally eat up. I loved this book with all my heart! It stars Queen Elisa (after her husband's untimely death) ruling her city with her loyal Guard, Hector of Ventierra at her side. Together, they tackle the budding war between her people and the Inviernos, who have spies in the city, the Quorum lords forcing her to get married, and the newly found evidence of a sacred power located in the southern kingdom- a power so great that only someone with a Godstone can channel it. While they battle for their lives and the lives of their people, Elisa and Hector form a relationship that isn't, well, appropriate for their social positions. They begin to have feelings for each other and only are able to express/act on them while on the run from an Invierno Assassin.
I honestly can say I LOVED this book! It was filled with suspense, fighter, and thank the LORD, some romance that was much needed. Hector is totally drool worthy which is a huge plus. He is so honorable that it makes you love him and hate him at the same time (Ex. NO! Hector! I don't care that you have to guard Elisa's life! Just friggin KISS HER! ect.) We watch Elisa turns from a simple princess who liked to read into a regal queen, fully capable of ruling a country and stealing the heart of her Guard. This book has everything a good book needs. It draws the reader in and doesn't let go until the shocking ending. Reading this book was an experience and I totally recommend it!
Rate: 5/5
