A Shadow Crown by Melissa Blair
5.0
A Shadow Crown is an amazing and suspenseful second installment in The Halfling Saga by Melissa Blair.
Picking up right where the first book left off, you are immediately thrown back into character development, world, building, plot development, and political intrigue. If it all possible, Blair makes this book even more suspenseful and well written than the first.
We pick ride up with Keera, trying to decide which path she will choose. The path of the kingdom or the path of the rebellion. We get back stories for many of the beloved side characters, and they do take a more front row seat in the second book. We get introduced to more characters through the path of the rebellion. And they are just as lovable as the ones we already came to know. Of course, we do get more suspicious characters that could be friend or foe, and part of the fun of the second book is finding out which side they align with. This book was suspenseful and mysterious from start to finish. The twists at the end absolutely were shocking. The book ends on a cliffhanger setting up the third installment, and I personally cannot wait.
