A review by iskaldmelk
Crown Thief by David Tallerman
3.0
I felt like this book wasn’t living up to its potential. Though it was interesting to have a main character who wasn’t in the middle of the conflicts and mostly just wanted to keep himself alive, I wish I could have gotten more into what was going on in the world.
I also wish the conflict hadn’t been treated as that simple. I feel like the main villain could easily have been the protagonist, and I wish that was explored more.
Now I haven’t read the first book, but that didn’t really bother me (after I decided to read this anyway). It was interesting to get pieces of the precious story throughout the book, and I think it will still be fun to read it as a sort of prequel.
