Review:
The Crimson
Crown is a dark gothic romantasy fantasy retelling that will grip you from the
first page. Filled with sapphic love and longing, girl power, and all things
dark and creepy this novel swept me off my feet.
In this
novel, Ayleth is a witch reeling from the loss of her sister and the long-ago
betrayal of her lover. In her mothers eyes, she's just a lackluster replacement
for her more powerful dead sister. The other witches treat Ayleth as if she has
no value. In an effort to bring her more powerful sister back from the dead,
she travels to a dark castle filled with a cast of unique and interesting
characters. It's a tale of love, loss, and revenge.
There
wasn't a moment of this novel that I felt was slow, over wrought, or poorly
written. I absolutely ate this novel up and you will too if you like sapphic
romance, dark fantasy, and fairytale retellings.
