I also enjoyed Skye's characters. They were sympathetic, easy to relate to, and I was cheering for happy endings for all of them. Vika, the trusting, kindhearted sorceress who has grown up in the love of her father, and Nikolai, a talented orphan who has never known love, are inextricably drawn together, but fate has pitted them against each other. Pasha, Nikolai's best friend, is a good-natured, golden boy who means well, but complicates everything.I have to confess, the last twenty pages filled me with dread and I read faster and faster, hoping the happy endings I wished for would come true. Laura's "Oh no" sentiment kept echoing in my mind as I read. However, I am happy to report, on May 16th, a sequel, called The Crown's Fate releases! Reading the description gives me hope. Perhaps the dire turn events at the end of The Crown's Game can be reversed, or the situation can be redeemed in some way. The Crown's Fate is available for pre-order at Amazon and is already scheduled to be delivered to my house!

Hmmm, I like endings where the protagonists achieve their goal- but at a cost, rather than everything being tied up with a bow. Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games are both good examples of this. Honestly, though, I really enjoy tragic endings, too. Some of my favorite classic books, such as A Tale of Two Cities and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, have terribly sad endings, but I love them anyway.

Very nice description, Erin. I'm glad to know there is a sequel coming!
ReplyDelete: ) We'll have to see what we think!
DeleteThese books do have very cool covers! And now that you and Laura have both recommended them, I guess I'd better check them out :)
