Chefs freaking kiss to this series what a great book to wrap up the story and set the stage for the kingmakers series. This book took me by surprise from the first book I kept saying I think the last book will be my least favorite I just wasn’t super into Sebastian but I was 100% wrong because I could not put this down I freaking loved it.
I don’t see a ton of people talk about this one much which is wild because this was probably the most intense book of the series also probably one of the saddest

Thank you Sophie Lark, Bloom Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to express my honest opinion for a copy of the eARC of Heavy Crown.
First and foremost, what a finish! I've read a few other reviews and while I agree that the conclusion to this series was not what I expected; it's also not my series to end, nor are these my characters to write. After reflecting a bit, I have come to the conclusion that the how and why each family member found their own way was how it was meant to be. I don't want to give too much away - but try to put your own expectations aside and go with it.
I'm not a usual fan of the miscommunication trope, but Sophie is such a fantastic writer and the action/suspense was enough to keep me satisfied to not focus on the absurdity of how much I hate it. It really was that good. I also very much enjoyed the sub-plot that we got of Enzo + Yelena, Greta, Sebastian, etc.
The pacing was pretty on point but the extreme time jump with the epilogue, while it made sense to set up the next generation, was not my cup of tea and felt rushed to the max. I could have done without it. All of that being said; I loved this book - I loved this series, and I love Sophie Lark. The end.

A story that showed the sides of the mafia that the other books didn’t get into as much was written so well. The obstacles and lack of trust Sebastion goes through and the character development he experiences through the story really makes you feel for him as a character. The action, the spice, the story, the twist and turns were all soooo good! That was a great way to end the the series, however I do wish we got one scene with all of the siblings from each side of the family as a “goodbye”
