Broken Crowns by Lauren DeStefano
4.0
Broken Crowns, the final book of the Internment Chronicles by Lauren DeStefano, is a book I was both looking forward to but also dreading. I really enjoy this series and I am horrible with final books in a series mostly because I don’t want the good ones to end. On the other hand, of course I want to know all the things so…it is a balance.
The story picks back up shortly after Burning Kingdoms and we get to dive back into the world of the main characters, Morgan, Pen, Basil, and the rest of the group. As we get back into it, it is revealed that Internment is sinking and Morgan decides she is going to do what she can to stop it.
As far as characters go, Morgan is still interesting and wants what is best for those she loves but I really wanted her to be better to Basil. I loved him and thought he was lovely and no matter what wrong Morgan did, he was always willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
The story itself moved along well and the twists and turns made it interesting. I have to admit that this book didn’t keep me as engaged as book one – I have a feeling it is because I had to wait in between each book and tended to forget everything in between which meant I had to get caught back up each time I dove back in. With that said, I thought this was a solid series that might be a better experience if all the books are read back to back.
Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss for the review copy!
