My reaction upon seeing the cover:

Seeing the release date:

Realizing how far the release date is:

Realizing how LONG I'll have to wait:

Understanding that even though the publisher is not to blame, it is STILL their fault it is so. FAR. AWAY:

Realizing that there's nothing I can do about it and accepting my fate:

And in the end, realizing I will always love Cinda Williams Chima for delivering such a MASSIVELYBRILLIANTWICKEDAWESOME series:

And i must say, i wasn't disappointed.

Who is killing the wizards? Will Han and Raisa live together? Will Alger Waterlow figure out that Han is his descedant? What do the wolves mean when they said that someone VERY close to Riasa will betray her? (Crossin my fingers for Han to have a good outcome in this mess!)

I don't usually comment on a book I have yet to read... But for this, I'll make an exception. I feel like I've waited all of my life for this series. I started it while waiting to finish the Inheritance Cycle, and found that I would prefer to read these books. I've read thousands of books, and I even remember a few hundred of them... but this, I will savor. Instead of devouring the novel in one sitting, as is my wont, I will restrict myself.

The Crimson Crown is book four in the Seven Realms series. It’s definitely a series that you want to read in order. It’s a high fantasy series, and it’s one of my FAVORITES of all time. If you haven’t read this series yet, you really should!

Since this is the fourth book in the series, I don’t want to get into to many specifics. The series follows several characters, but the main two are Princess/Queen Raisa, and the infamous street lord Cuffs. I also love that there are duel perspectives from th...more

The Series:

The Seven Realms Series is made up of The Demon King, The Exiled Queen, The Gray Wolf Throne, and now, the last book in the series, The Crimson Crown. If you are a fan of high fantasy, you will not find a more well-written, emotional, intense, phenomenal series than this one. This is, hands down, my favorite high-fantasy series ever, and quite possibly my favorite Young Adult series ever. Each book is better than the last, and when you finish reading, all you want to do is pick it bac...more

So I was reading The Gray Wolf Throne, thinking that it was going to be the end since I dunno, I thought it was going to be a trilogy. Then I finished, and I just sat back from the book. I was shipping Han and Raisa, all along, and it was never made canon. WHAT WAS WRONG. I was freaking out for a while before I could get to the internet, which confirmed my suspicions, and now there's going to be a fourth book! I rejoice!

The Crimson Crown was action packed from start to end without any dull moments. A lot of interesting things happened, revelations were made and questions were answered from previous books in the series. One of my favourite parts was definitely learning the truth about the “Demon King” or Crow. (view spoiler) I greatly enjoyed the entire book though and found it very hard to stop reading it once I had started.

Han and Raisa – the two main leads – have been two of my favourite book characters ever since I started reading this series and they didn’t fail to impress me in this book either. In fact I think I love them even more now (especially Han). Raisa is still strong and independent which is partially what makes me like her so much as a character. And Han is...Han. I’ve loved everything about his character in the start and greatly enjoyed watching him develop over the series. (view spoiler) Most of the supporting characters from previous books were great too. I was especially impressed by dancer and his role that he played in the book. I also really enjoyed Crows part in the book…and Amon’s.

Overall I am really happy with how it ended although I am sad the series is over too. A huge thank you to Cinda Williams Chima for writing such a perfect series!

Updated review: Well, as me and my dad were saying... It is extremely rare for me to every enjoy the ending of a series. I guess my expectations are to high, and I'm expecting the worlds largest finally.
The crimson crown wasn't BAD.. But it wasn't AMAZING either. I really loved reading about Han and Risa again, as well as Dancer, Crow, and Cat. The ending was pretty nice as well, and Cinda's writing was amazing as always.
I LOVE Risa's personality. For me it is so hard to display a strong and confident character, who hardly ever sounds winy. Risa was never annoying in that area and her thoughts were always well planned. She never doubted herself, and when she made up her mind that was final.
Han's character was just down right cool. I loved how he was described to be some sort of cocky, bad boy. Not only was he attractive and dangerous, but it was a realistic and consistent persona.
My only quarrel with the Crimson Crown was about the politics, and the meaning of love. To me it felt more like Han and Risa were just lusting after each other the whole time, and were not really in love. It felt so focused on physical attraction and desire I really think the real meaning of love was overlooked. They never really seemed to trust each other fully, and the only time they showed they actually cared was when the other was close to death. That was something I wasn't to impressed with. Especially at that important part at the end when all he could think about was kissing her, when there were really other things he should have been thinking about. (Trying not to give away any spoilers here).
I guess when you think about it, the politics was really thought out. I did love the engaging combat used through verbal arguments. Cinda is just amazing with how she can propose so many realistic ideas in an argument and always have an underlining thread of what really is the truth. I was really impressed with that and hope I can learn to write with that sort of intelligence throughout my writing. Yeah, now Ill get to the real point, the only thing I disliked about it was there was just so much of it. A lot of the book was mainly comprised of politics, and I kept wishing there would be more action.
To sum this up the book really was good. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good read, and some intelligently written work.

That’s not to say that Raisa or Han were meh in this one, not at all, but right now I’m all about Hayden Fire Dancer and Amon Byrne here, (people, here me swoon for these two.) In fact there’s nothing lackluster in this epic conclusion. From here, I feel it only fair to warn you that a gush filled sort of review is coming your way in three, two…

I don’t think lackluster could have played a role in anything in CRIMSON CROWN from the very start it’s evident that the two MC’s are both strong leads, gifted but also burdened with doing what’s right and then later torn over not getting to do what both actually want. Then proceed to them having to watch for and over, and feeling that almost every single person come has his or her agenda and a lot of the time at cross purposes.) On a bigger scope there’s Wizard and Clan that underscores how divided Raisa’s Queendom really is. Throw in some miscommunication, ill timed jealousy here and there, then the graver parts of kidnappings, attempts on their lives as well as torture at the hands of enemies and you get a feel of how confusing and exciting things could get (sometimes both at the same time even.)

I love this because it’s not just about the girl proving her mettle… but about it’s ALL of them proving something, the good and the bad. Like the slum lord coming up from out of nowhere proving just how strong he is, or the princess establishing that she’s not just someone to protect, and the wizard showing that things can change, that people do… no matter how much others refuse to acknowledge the same. On the downside, there’s also people proving themselves to be less… that the wise aren’t always so and things can get muddled.

Were I to complain over anything in this it would be over the little sister that shouldn’t have. If Raisa proves she is a leader to be followed, the younger sister (so put off I was by her that I cannot even recall her name right now!) is a living breathing damsel in distress! But I suppose one cannot have it all, yes?

That said all other supporting characters were superb… Hayden especially, his part in all this is key, and like the rest of them he proves his worth. In him is the melding of the two opposing sides of the Queendom and it was interesting to see how he’d help move things along. Amon too has won me back because in books past (in I’m not sure which one) he broke my heart. Here he shows just what kind of man he is. Sure, Raisa and Han both inspire loyalty but what those loyal do… much more impressive.

So, shout out to Brittany and Stacia, were it not for you two going on and on about Demon King, I likely would never have given it a second chance, but look at me now! Seven Realms officially ranks among my favorites.
4.5/5(less)

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and this was a great ending to it. Raisa gained more maturity with each book. It was nice to see those changes in her character. There were a couple of things that I would have liked to have seen more resolved. One would be Amon married and truly happy and in love with his wife. Maybe I just don't remember, but I don't think we ever find out if he is totally over Raisa or not. I would love a book about Amon. I was so disappointed we didn't get much of him in this...more

Wait? What? Why are all the Seven Realms books gone?

When we last left our stalwart heroes of Raisa and Han, everyone had moved back to The Fells and Raisa had just been installed on the Gray Wolf Throne. Han was trying to con many masters. Oh, and there was the ever-present threat of invasion from any of the southern nations.

This book picks up where that book ended almost exactly. If anything is missing in between it is simple routine. Luckily, the plot waited for us to return to it.

Not sure I will read this.

I can pretty much guess what is going to happen at this point and I can't really be bothered to read a hundred pages of Raisa or Han thinking the same thoughts over and over again (some of which first occurred in book 1 /wrist). I'm not sure I can even be bothered to read certain passages and skim the majority; a short synopsis would be the most I'd be up for.

Well, it did feel like a PG-rated Harlequin romance dressed up in afterthoughts of magic. So not quite romantic and not really magical?

The 'reputations' of some of the characters and their respective ages did have me straining my eyeballs a bit. And the sorry-I-lost-my-temper device to move the plot line along did get a bit old, but it did get things to move along.

I DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT HAD BEEN RELEASED.

I know, i know, i must seem like a fool. But my heart cannot handle waiting for a year without tucking the pain away in the deepest corners of my soul, just to avoid my heartbreak and anxiety that surfaces when thinking about the newest and final book, and so, i had forgotten.

Needless to say, i ran home and reread all of the seven realms novels within the week.

After finishing this last one, i just.. i feel so... empty. Like all my friends are missing and i have nowhere to go. Im so lost...

ANYWAYS, as a whole, the series was amazing. But i felt that the first couple of chapters of this book were a little choppy and after directly reading this book after the The Gray Wolf Throne, i felt like it was awkwardly written and, not gonna lie, I was scared of further disappointment. I shouldn't have worried because OF COURSE it was amazing.

My only desire is that some of the loose ends were tied like (view spoiler)

Regardless, this book was a grand finale to the seven realms series and i honestly don't know what i'm going to do with myself now. (less)

Quotes from The Crimson Crown

“So here's the truth - I love you. I love everything about you – the way you stick up for people even when it costs you. The way you keep trying to do the right thing even when you're not exactly sure what the right thing is. I love how you put words together. You're as skilled with words as any knife fighter with a blade. You can put an enemy down on his back, or you can raise people up so they find what's best in themselves. You've changed my life. You've given me the words I need to become whatever I want.
I love how you talk to lytlings. You don't talk down to them. You respect them, and anybody can tell you're actually interested in what they have to say.
I love the way you ride a horse – how you stick there like an upland thistle, whooping like a Demonai. I love the way you throw back your head and stomp your feet when you dance. I love how you go after what you want – whether it's kisses or a queendom.
I love your skin, like copper dusted over with gold. And your eyes – they're the color of a forest lake shaded by evergreens. One of the secret places that only the Demonai know about.
I love the scent of you – when you've been out in the fresh air, and that perfume you put behind your ears sometimes.
