I'm disappointed to say that this did not live up to my expectations. I absolutely adored Girl, Goddess, Queen, so when I heard about the premise of The End Crowns, I was so psyched. Unfortunately, I was often bored. For a 500+ page book, so much happens, and yet so little is accomplished.
To me, it felt as though everything was happening to the characters, rather than them actually enacting anything, which is odd considering the entire plot is about Cassandra using her powers of prophecy to change the outcome of the war and Helen doing everything she can to aid in that. Maybe there's a message there, that some aspects of the future are truly set it stone and life is what you make of it. I just felt like everything the women were doing didn't really amount to much. The only thing that did isthe little army of women .
Will I read more of Bea Fitzgerald? Yeah probably.
