The High Mountain Court: A Witchy Spellbinding Fantasy Adventure with a Touch of Romance, Embark on a Quest to Find Lost Relics with Remy and Her Companions (The Five Crowns of Okrith, 1)
Full of romance, intrigue, magic, and passion, the first book of The Five Crowns of Okrith—the thrilling TikTok sensation from A.K. Mulford—The High Mountain Court begins the journey of the fugitive red witch Remy as she fights to reclaim her kingdom and discover what’s inside her heart.
For thirteen years, nineteen-year-old Remy has known she is possibly the last red witch alive, and she is determined to stay that way. But the Northern Court King, who has slaughtered her family and placed a bounty on red witch heads, is intent on destroying her kind once and for all.
When four fae warriors enter her tavern refuge, Remy tries to flee, but her magic isn’t strong enough to stop the determined—and handsome—Prince Hale of the Eastern Kingdom. He claims he wants to stop a war with the Northern Court before his kingdom succumbs to the same fate as Remy’s. In order to do that, he needs a red witch…and Remy may be the only person alive who can help him.
Yet even as she’s drawn to him, can she really trust Prince Hale? Can her fallen court truly be rescued from the evil clutches of the Northern Court King?
Does she even have a choice?
For the chance to save herself, her people, and help rid the world of a murderous tyrant, Remy must put her faith in Hale and his companions on a dangerous quest to find lost relics…and discover if she is ready to secure her legacy.

The first third of this book (100 pages) took me 5 days to get through. I was very tempted to DNF. While reading the first third of the book I was leaning towards 2 stars. However, certain things that annoyed me were resolved by the end of the book.
The second third of this book piqued my interest. I was glad I hadn’t DNF’d. I was teetering between a 3 and a 4 star throughout the middle third.
The last third of this book had me screaming, crying, throwing up. It was like Game of Thrones Red Wedding level shit. Jaw was on the floor. I give the last third 5 stars.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue with this series, but after reading the last 30% of the book, I’m definitely reading onward.
I think the saving grace of this book was the dynamic between our MC and her love interest. I really appreciated how the love interest was written and is the only reason why I'm giving this book 4 stars.
All in all, this book felt very surface level and generic, but I still had fun.
