Crownchasers is an amazing sci-fi that grips you from the start and never lets go until the very last page. Crownchasers is full of action, interesting alien species, and beautifully written characters that you can't help but fall in love with and root for all the way!
Crownchasers starts with space captain Alyssa as she runs from her family legacy by exploring all the universe. Sadly, tragedy strikes, and Alyssa is thrown into a race against fellow prime family children to become the next ruler of the empire by finding the royal seal that has been hidden somewhere in the universe. As the chase continues and things become deadly, Alyssa begins to see that the stakes are higher than she ever imagined.
I am really picky on sci-fi books but when I saw that Crownchasers involved a race I figured I would give it shot and I am so glad that I did! Crownchasers exceeded every expectation I had to the point I sacrificed a night of sleep just to finish and what a finish it was!!!! I did not see that ending coming and I still have chills.
I love all the strong female space captains in this book that are smart, fierce, and not afraid to take care of those they care for. I LOVE Alyssa and Hell Monkey because they had me laughing so hard at times. They really make a great team, and I can't WAIT to see what comes next.
If you are a fan of the amazing Firefly series, the Illuminae Files and/or the Aurora Rising series by Amiee Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, I HIGHLY recommend Crownchasers. You won't be disappointed!
