A review by lolarose1234
Crimson Reign by Amélie Wen Zhao

3.0

Writing was as good as always. Loved the characters, Ramson’s character development in particular was *chef’s kiss*. I don’t want major spoilers in my review but I will say there two characters that were separated for longer than I wished. There were also another set of characters that I thought were building up to a romance but no none developed. Speaking about romances, loved the one/main couple but felt their ending was a bit strange. One of the fmc’s lied to the mmc about having feelings for him but then we next see them together after a time skip they are together. Where was the angst when he realised how much she cared?. Secondly I found the final confrontation to be underwhelming although I know others loved it.

Overall would recommended the series if you want a fantasy with unique characters and good development but don’t expect romance to be a huge component. I also wish there was more development of the second fmc introduced in book 2.
