The Rivaled Crown
Ratings4
Average rating3.3
I swore I would never return to this palace. Never kneel before my father again.
But I have been dragged back into his gilded cage, trapped beneath his rule, and bound to a fate I had tried to escape.
My body is his to break, my magic his to wield. And no matter how many nights I dream of Dacre storming these halls, of his hands pulling me from the darkness—dreams are nothing against the greed of a king.
Even if my mate comes for me, even if I am freed from my father’s grip, I’m not sure there will be anything left of me to save.
The kingdom is dying. The land withers beneath the weight of stolen magic, and my father’s reign will not end without bloodshed.
But I have lived in the dark for too long.
And I was not made to wither, I was made to burn.

Definitely the best of the 3 book series. We get some serious plot development and character growth. It still rushes through everything, there's no element of fear or worry for the characters because everything is dealt with so quickly. In less than 2 minutes the king completely changes his mind about venera, after hunting her down for 3 books? I'm just glad I finished it, it's nothing to write home about, but it was an enjoyable easy read.
“War is coming to us quickly” but then at 80% of the book, war still hasn't come for them.
I super loved the 1st book in this series but hated how the succeeding books disappointed. I think this book could have been shorter if not for the tautologies at each chapter.
Like, yeah. You're mates. You can feel each other. Get over it! I didn't like the writing style as well because the lyrical writing felt out of place.
And the way the king was killed? Anticlimactic.
