A Shadow Crown

I think this was a decent sequel to the first book. The plot, while a little stilted in some places, did exist and kept moving which I think is usually the problem in a new author’s second novel. There were several points of transition though that I though were abrupt and confusing. Major points would be revealed and then all of the sudden the FMC was playing a training game with children. Then Blair would hash out the conversation off page which felt like a opportunities missed. I liked several elements of the romance but I thought their fight and eventual come together was a bit disjointed and over unearned so that was disappointing. I guessed about 70% of the plot twist but the other 30% is definitely intriguing. I will be finishing the series for sure.
