Week 47 Review: A Crown So Silver

From Goodreads:

On a mysterious snowy island ruled by a trickster king where magic comes at a price, a deadly trial commences. The a chance for vengeance.

 

After her sacrifice on the Ember Moon, Fia is flush with powerful magic and eager to rush into battle against her murderous sister, Eala. However, Fia's new husband Irian suggests they bide their time and retreat to the Silver Isle, a snowy island at the edge of the fae world.

 

Ruled by the cunning smith-king, the Silver Isle proves far from a safe haven. Fia and Irian become embroiled in the Tournament of Kings competing for a magical forging of immense power. Their relationship will be put to the test as they navigate their conflicting motivations, shifting allegiances, and ancient magic.  

 

With the end of the tournament looming and Eala's threat growing, Fia must decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice to defeat her sister.

My Review:
Reading this book was so fantastic! I loved the first book, and I was so excited to see where this sequel was going to run! With everything that was set up, and where we left these characters, I had to know how they were going to proceed from there! 

The whole situation with Eala and what she tried to do, and how Fia had to respond, and what power it left her with, that was a big change. Not to mention being married to Irian. That was a pretty big game-changer, and I loved seeing what happened next! 

The first book set up this world and these characters, and I loved exploring it further, spending this time on Silver Isle, getting to know the politics of this place, as they were working out their new dynamics, of how much they can trust each other and others, it was just so great! 

I wasn't sure going in, if this was going to be a duology, or if the series was going to continue. With the way that things left off in this book, yeah there's got to be more, because it can't just leave them where they are! That was such a cutting cliff hanger, and I need to know what's going to happen next! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Lyra Selene, and more in this series!
