The Iron Crown by L.L. MacRae

5.0

The Iron Crown is spectacular epic fantasy! I enjoyed basically everything about this book, except for the fact it ended and now I have to wait to find out what will happen. It’s excellently written and I really like the writing style. It’s easy to read but not simplistic. The author does a fantastic job of world building through the story so the world feels real, but there are no tedious info dumps to slow the story down. I also loved all the characters. This story is told from multiple POVs but I didn’t find any of them boring like can sometimes happen with many characters. Fenn wakes up stuck in a bog with no memory of who he is or where he came from. All he knows is his name. When he manages to escape the bog and not get killed by the mischievous dragon spirit, he comes across 2 women, Calidra and Jisyel who agree to help him. They end up on a journey together and along the way we are introduced to more characters including Torsten (a Master Inquisitor for the queen) and Varlot (a former general). One of my favourite things about this book is the dragon spirits which I found really interesting and unique as far as dragons go. Overall this is a great read and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes epic fantasy!

I received an ARC from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review.
