A review by izzy_happyfornow
The Crown of Embers, by Rae Carson

3.0

Crown of Embers is a great sequel, but suffers from what I find to be the  usual mid book in a trilogy failings. Slow plot, but the build up is essential to the third book. Still this was enjoyable especially the last 25%. Also that romance! I got so happy and swoony over it.

Full review is on my blog; spoilers below also!

SpoilerY’all seriously that ending with Ximena and Hector.
IT WAS INTENSE and insane and I’m so flipping proud of the decisions Elisa made. She’s becoming a real queen and I can’t wait for her to kick ass in book three!
