A Crown of the Gods (Shadows and Crowns)

Gods have fallen.

A queen is rising.

And the world will never be the same.


The highest throne in the Kethran Empire lies vacant, its once-ruler now a god-ascending, bringing more chaos and darkness to an already chaotic world. The line between the divine and mortal realms is blurring. The battlefield is set. A final, devastating war is on the horizon.


Casia Greythorne has finally come home to claim the throne that is rightfully hers-one that she hopes she can use to unite her empire and help it survive a war with the very gods themselves. But to take hold of her crown, she'll have to wrestle it free of a past that she's avoided for too long. One that is far more complicated than she realized.


The answers she needs to win her war-and save her world-all lie within that past.


But reaching them might destroy any hope she has of a future.

I think these books at their core are good but the issue is each one is so long, so the plot progression feels slow. I think if they were a little shorter it would feel more engaging. I also wish there was a little more depth to the supporting characters like Zev and Nessa. Although, I am thrilled that a romantic relationship with Zev and Cas was not broached.
