Week 51 Review: Crystal Crowned

From Goodreads:
Long live Solaris.

One bloodthirsty ruler has been overthrown by another, casting the shadow of death over the Solaris Empire. Vhalla Yarl stands upon the stage of fate, prepared to do battle one final time. Fragile alliances will be tested, and new bonds will be formed as the world is reshaped.

She fights as the champion of peace, but when the night is darkest, will she be able to pay the price of a new dawn?

My Review:
This was such a fantastic read! I loved how everything turned out, and the set up for the future stories sent in this world! After the events of the last book, with the magical uprising, there's the whole thing of reclaiming the empire, which is easier said then done! 

In this book, Vhalla has to come to terms that she is going to become Empress. I mean, she had the feelings for Aldrik, but that was for the man, not to the position he would come to inherit. And to prevent the fate that the pair of them have gone through, had a precious cost.

Something else that Vhalla had to deal with, was that she no longer had her magical abilities, because they got taken by what the bad guy was doing. She'd only had them for a relatively short period of time, but she had come to rely on them. But it was all part of her journey, alongside all the hurts and losses, the ups and the downs, for her to become the person that the world needs her to be.

The empire really has gone through a lot in this series, dealing with adding that last bit to the empire, to this uprising and all the things that the villain was doing. Which made it all the more satisfying to watch him being taken down! And that ending, that was just so cute! 

Loved reading this book, and this series, and I need to read more from this world now!
