Thank you to the publisher for providing me with ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

In the beginning i wasn't so sure i was going to like this book to be honest...the main reason was the abrupt way you're thrown into things,like you're hit with a pan on the head and told "that's the way things are,deal with it".
I mean, before you have a chance to know where you are,what the main characters are like, we already have the strong romance given to us and it's little hard that way to connect emotionally and build some foundation through their previous history .
The world bulding and the atmosphere were made beautifully and although i disliked Kaelyn for her naivety and a little petulant behavior,she got a huge growth of character and gradually start to develop into a character you like a lot.
The mix of YA, sci-fi fantasy and romance is a breath of fresh air and when you add unpredicted twist and turns in the mix,it's a combination resulting in a really good read.

Crown of Crowns is a sweeping epic futuristic YA novel that is so engrossing. The plot is well paced and so well written and the characters feel so real. A great read,

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Crown of Crowns in exchange for an honest review.

First off, the book's plot was wonderfully unique. Crown of Crowns mixes sci-fi, fantasy, tropes from historical fiction, and it's unique mythos system all together and I loved the world it created. The story was engaging and while it definitely had hallmarks of a lot of YA genres and YA books in general, it's not quite comparable to any other book I've ever read (and when you read as much YA as I do, that's always a plus).

My one issue was the way the plot was revealed. A lot of world building is done in these huge blocks of dialogue instead of casually incorporating it or putting it into narration and it ended up revealing one of the bigger plot twists long before I think the narrative wanted it to be revealed. Planting the seeds for twists is wonderful, but having your protagonist go into a long winded story in the second chapter that has even the person she's talking to go "uhhh why did you just tell me that?" (I'm paraphrasing. He was far more charming about it than I am) isn't planting seeds, it's plopping a fully grown, thousand year old tree right in the middle of an apartment. With a low ceiling.
