Welcome to the spotlight tour for The Crown's Fate by Evelyn Skye! Today, I'm sharing the top ten reasons why I'm excited to read The Crown's Fate. I hope you're as excited about this book as I am!
WARNING: Here there be spoilers, if you haven't read The Crown's Game! I tried to keep things as general as possible but sometimes it wasn't possible.
Top Ten Reasons Why I'm Excited to Read The Crown's Fate:
10. The ending of The Crown's Game was quite the cliffhanger. Who wouldn't be dying to read The Crown's Fate, after that cliffhanger ending?! I dare you to read The Crown's Game and NOT be clamoring for The Crown's Fate immediately.

9. I need more Nikolai. Because... reasons. Nikolai was my favorite character in The Crown's Game, and I reaaaaaally hope we get to see more of him in The Crown's Fate. Like, a lot more. In any way, shape, or form. *wink wink*

8. I want to read more in this world. I love the setting of this series! I haven't read many books set or influenced by historic Russia. The author has done a beautiful job with the world-building in The Crown's Game, and I have no doubt that she's knocked it out of the park in The Crown's Fate.

7. More magic, please! Vika's and Nikolai's magical abilities are incredible. I hope both characters use their abilities in an even more stunning display, in The Crown's Game!

6. I want to know what kind of tsar Pasha will be. I make no attempts to hide the fact that I do not like Pasha, nor do I feel sorry for him in any capacity. What will he do, in The Crown's Fate? Will he continue to hate Nikolai for "betraying" him? Does he go mad? I really hope he goes mad.

5. Fooooood. I'm hoping to be kept hungry while reading this book! There better be lots of food throughout the story. :D

4. Who will survive? We already saw a slew of deaths in The Crown's Game... who will survive in The Crown's Fate? Of the main three (if any of them are "supposed" to die), I'm hoping Pasha will. (Did I say that out loud?)

3. Now that the Game is over... what kind of story can we expect? I really want to see how the author is going to keep up the rich, magical, high-stakes quality of the first book, without the Game.

2. More Nikolai/Vika romance! There was NO kissing in The Crown's Game (how rude!). I ship Nikolai and Vika so much and hopefully they are the OTP... even with Nikolai's, um, problem, I'm sure there are ways around that. Make me swoon, dang it! (But not involving Pasha.)

1. My #1 reason to be excited about this book - it's book two of a duology! I love duologies! I am much more likely to finish a duology than a trilogy, so I'm really excited to finish this series and read The Crown's Fate.

About The Crown's Fate:
The Crown's Fate by Evelyn Skye
Book Two of The Crown's Game series
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Publication Date: May 16, 2017
Official Summary:
The gorgeous and darkly compelling sequel to The Crown’s Game—perfect for fans of Red Queen and Shadow and Bone.
Magic is growing, shadows are rising, and the throne is at stake…
Russia is on the brink of great change. Pasha’s coronation approaches, and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter, but the role she once coveted may be more difficult—and dangerous—than she ever expected.
Pasha is grappling with his own problems—his legitimacy is in doubt, the girl he loves loathes him, and he believes his best friend is dead. When a challenger to the throne emerges—and with the magic in Russia growing rapidly—Pasha must do whatever it takes to keep his position and protect his kingdom.
For Nikolai, the ending of the Crown’s Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death, Nikolai remains alone, a shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own creation. But when he’s given a second chance at life—tied to a dark price—Nikolai must decide just how far he’s willing to go to return to the world.
With revolution on the rise, dangerous new magic rearing up, and a tsardom up for the taking, Vika, Nikolai, and Pasha must fight—or face the destruction of not only their world but also themselves.

ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Latte Nights Reviews
It's probably best to binge-read, because there are certain aspects of The Crown's Game that were cliffhanger-y (and mean)! If you read the books, I hope you enjoy them, Genesis. =)
DeleteGorgeous post Alyssa :D YAY for being excited about this one. <3 I hope you love it lots. Sadly, I had to DNF book one. Ugh. But they are such gorgeous books :) Thank you for sharing. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you DNF'd book one! I'm reading this one soon and I really hope it makes up for book one's mess. o_o
