The Queen of the Dawn by S.M. Gaither

5.0

“The Queen of the Dawn” is the last book in S.M. Gaither’s Shadows and Crowns series, and for me, it was beautifully intense and incredibly bittersweet. Casia and Elander really had to prove themselves, and they both went through so much in this one. There were some moments that made me extremely emotional, and others where I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Gaither somehow managed to keep me guessing with all the twists and turns this story took me on, and in the end, I even felt empathy for a character I was sure I hated. This world and these characters have become so special to me, and I know this series will live rent free in my mind for a very long time. To sum it up, this was such a brilliant conclusion to this series, and I would highly recommend it to any fantasy romance lover!!!
