Magic, murder, adventure, and romance combine in this second novel in the exciting Crown of Shards saga from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Estep.

Everleigh Blair might be the new gladiator queen of Bellona, but her problems are far from over.

First, Evie has to deal with a court full of arrogant, demanding nobles, all of whom want to get their greedy hands on her crown. As if that wasn't bad enough, an assassin tries to kill Evie in her own throne room.

Despite the dangers, Evie goes ahead with a scheduled trip to the neighboring kingdom of Andvari in order to secure a desperately needed alliance. But complicating matters is the stubborn Andvarian king, who wants to punish Evie for the deaths of his countrymen during the Seven Spire massacre.

Dark forces are also at work inside the Andvarian palace, and Evie soon realizes that no one is safe. Worse, her immunity to magic starts acting in strange, unexpected ways, which makes Evie wonder whether she is truly strong enough to be a Winter Queen.

Evie's magic, life, and crown aren't the only things in dangerâ??so is her heart, thanks to Lucas Sullivan, the Andvarian king's bastard son and Evie's ... well, Evie isn't quite sure what Sullivan is to her.

Only one thing is certainâ??protecting a prince might be even harder than killing a queen..… (meer)

Why does everyone have the motivations of an angsty 15 year old? The romance is so one dimensional. My problem with these books is essentially that they have an excellent premise, and in the hands of a better writer might be more compelling as fantasy and/ or drama. I liked the end though, doing a grand gesture was good. It was really hitting the 11th hour there. ( )

This was a good continuation of the story. It was nice to see Evie discover what it takes to be a Winter Queen. It was also interesting to see Andvari from her perspective and learn more about the Mortans as well. I'm thinking I will continue on with book 3. ( )

First - is there a short story about Gemma, Alvis and Xenia's adventurous escape I missed? Because they acted like there was.

Second - gonna go ahead and picture Sully as Torrence Coombs (circa his time as Bash in "Reign").

Third - damn me for figuring out THE ENTIRE MORTAN PLOT after meeting the chief traitor. Like. Just once I'd love if my brain pretended it was surprised. (This isn't to say I didn't enjoy the journey to the reveal, this is a complaint I often have about my brain).

Man oh man, poor Evie. Here she was, being told by Serilda that killing Vasilia would solve all their issues...and yet.

While most of the Troupe takes a backseat (Serilda and Cho appeared less as well as spoke less), Sully and Paloma took the stage. The return of Gemma, as well as Alvis was welcome. The mystery surrounding Gemma and Alvis' bloody cryptic words less so.

Maeven is a BRAZEN BITCH let me tell you. Not stupid, just super brazen.

Hopefully next book Evie takes down the Mortan King so she can reap the rewards of the final chapter of this book. Many, many times. ( )

Main characters are in their late 20's/early 30's but act like a bunch of teenagers. Additionally, the characters are one dimensional and their relationships with each other are just so poorly developed. ( )

Well written, but

Dear sweet damnable fools...umm, hello? ASSASSINS?!?!?!? How many times are assassins going to penetrate a castle and attack before someone takes their job seriously?!? Seven different assassination attempts over two books with varying levels of success. Oh, look, the queen is off to let them try again!!

Look, I liked the writing. The characters were decent (if terrible at their job) and the plot moved well...as long as you ignore how bad the palace guards are at their job.

I can’t recommend this book or series unless you can completely ignore logic. Plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon!! ( )
