Synopsis:
Russia is on the brink of great change. Pasha’s coronation approaches, and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter, but the role she once coveted may be more difficult—and dangerous—than she ever expected.
Pasha is grappling with his own problems—his legitimacy is in doubt, the girl he loves loathes him, and he believes his best friend is dead. When a challenger to the throne emerges—and with the magic in Russia growing rapidly—Pasha must do whatever it takes to keep his position and protect his kingdom.
For Nikolai, the ending of the Crown’s Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death, Nikolai remains alone, a shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own creation. But when he’s given a second chance at life—tied to a dark price—Nikolai must decide just how far he’s willing to go to return to the world.
With revolution on the rise, dangerous new magic rearing up, and a tsardom up for the taking, Vika, Nikolai, and Pasha must fight—or face the destruction of not only their world but also themselves.
Review:
This series is amazing. No doubt about that.
The Crown’s Fate just wasn’t as good as The Crowns Game. Not saying that this was bad at all. It just wasn’t as captivating as the first one.
Again, the nail is hit on the hit with the Historical factor of Imperial Russia. Honestly you find yourself in awe of this world and its brilliance. And the magic on top of this world is just incredible.
Just like the first book, the characters and amazing. I love Pasha, Nikolai and VIka. There emotions through this book are deep from the despair that the first book left them in.
The only thing that was a bit of a downer compared to the first book that the pace was a bit slow while the characters were wallowing in their self-pity. Don’t get me wrong, they do need some recovery time after the events in the first book but I think it was too much time? Other than that, this book was brilliant.
