A review by bookshelves4paperelves
The Kingless Crown by Sarah M. Cradit
3.0
So this book gave me very ‘Game of Thrones’ vibes, I think this is because of the amount of names/families and places involved. I have to admit that I did get a little bit confused at the start, I did end up taking notes part way through just to make sure I knew exactly what was going on, particularly with the 3rd person POV happening. I think if I had the physical copy in front of me I’d have found it easier as I’d have referred back to the family tree a lot more often.
I did enjoy this book, regardless of the complexity I feel as though it was very well written and I give all the shout outs to the author for being able to keep her mind while writing this because there were points where I was like ‘WHAT?!’
I do believe that triggers warnings are necessary, so I will list these below:
- Mentions of incest
- Fleeting implications of sexual manipulation
- Adult/minor relationship
- Child abuse
- Death
- Death of a Child
- Domestic abuse
The world building in this novel is complex, but I did thoroughly enjoy it due to the realistic feelings it gave me. I could genuinely picture being in some of the characters scenarios like I was watching a film in my head.
I did feel like I never wanted to love a character because I couldn’t decide if they were about to be killed off or not and I cannot deal with that trauma
