The Hollow Crown by Jeff Wheeler

5.0

I read The Queen's Poisoner in 2016 as my last book for the year and I can't believe 1) it's been so long and 2) I'm only just reading The Hollow Crown now. It's taken me awhile but I've decided to pick up this series again and there's only three words to describe how I feel

OH MY GOODNESSS

This book is probably my favorite of the series. Unlike the first 3 books, this one is more fast paced and we actually end up following Owen's daughter's adventures. Trynne wants to be a warrior like her father and after it's seen that the kingdom is going to be attacked by a foreign army and that Owen won't be returning home (SOBS NOO), Trynne is even more adamant about becoming a warrior. She believes that she can help out somehow and with the help of an ancient guy (forgot his name), she actually becomes the fountain magic's new female warrior, which if you read The Maid's War and picked up throughout the series, is not common (but not unheard of). The only thing is that she needs to keep it a secret, which causes turmoil with her relationships and within herself.

There's action, romance (GOD MY HEART), suspense (GAHHH NOT MY HEART AGAIN), intrigue (*bites nails*), and just so much happening (SCREAMS) and so many FEELS (and not just my own). It's something I felt I had been deprived of in the first 3 books.

I really need to hop on the next book SOON/NOW.
