I have to admit, I am a little upset. Not because of the cliffhanger ending, but because I was expecting one and it never came. Seriously. I pre-ordered this book and have been staring at it longingly on my shelves for MONTHS, refusing to be subject to a terrible, heart-wrenching cliffhanger, only to have an ending that leaves me jumping up and down for joy, completely satisfied and happy. Needless to say, we all need to re-affirm our definition of a cliffhanger ending.

Original Review

Pardon me while I pick my heart up off the floor. This was such a great follow up to Girl of Fire and Thorns.

The book starts off shortly after GoFaT ended. Elisa is trying to run the country, but it has been difficult she has been met with riots, new attacks on her life and threats from both inside and out. She has to build her country again and to do that she needs to find a husband to be allied with to help build support. She is having trouble being strong, or seeming strong. She hasn’t quite grown into the role she is meant to play. She questions her decisions constantly which got a little tiresome at times but it was truthful no one becomes a great leader overnight. Hector is now the head of her Queens Guard, best friend and strongest supporter. After a failed attempt on Elisa’s life she finds out about the Zafira and constructs a reason to go south to search for it.

On her journey is the Elisa we love, the strong confident brilliant one back in her element she comes to life again. While she is so sure in some area’s it was refreshing that even as a powerful woman she was so unsure of herself and love. Elisa wants to be loved for herself, not her kingdom or the godstone. I love love love swoon over the romance built between Hector and Elisa. It is by far one of my most loved romances in any novel. The speech that Hector gave to Elisa on the log after they kissed, I fell in love with him too. The ending was so beautifully brought to fruition. It was equal parts heartbreak and hope. (view spoiler) I was so excited I can’t wait to see what happens in A Bitter Kingdom. (view spoiler)

The supporting characters were great. I liked how Mara shared with Elise stories of her past with her two lovers and was more like a supporting older sister or friend who was needed since Ximena was more like a mother than nurse or friend. Belén has earned his way back to hero status after his betrayal in GoFaT. Storm gave interesting insight into the Invierne and I was surprised by his role on the isle, Elisa proved how great she could be when she made her choice there.

A Bitter Kingdom can’t come soon enough ...more

What a difference the introduction makes. I'll admit that the first time around, I abandoned this book because I could not get past the beginning. Ok, Elisa almost dies several times, her country is in chaos, but they are the most boring murder attempts/civil unrest possible. I don't think it's the writing, it's just tossing events after events at us with little character development that made the beginning intolerable for me, however action-packed it was.

Or finish what you're reading and then check it out, as Rae Carson has come into her own with The Crown of Embers. Similar to the Mortal Instruments trilogy, the first book in the Fire and Thorns trilogy (The Girl of Fire and Thorns) didn't win me over, but its sequel did. Boy, it did.

Similar to the Mortal Instruments trilogy, the first book in the Fire and Thorns trilogy (The Girl of Fire and Thorns) didn't win me over, but its sequel did. Boy, it did.

In The Crown of Embers Elisa continues her quest to fulfill the duty given to her by her Godstone. As queen of her kingdom, one might expect this to be easy - but it is anything other than that. Riots begin to break out as some are dissatisfied with her rule, enemies emerge from inside and outside of her palace, and her confidence wavers as even her allies seem to conspire against her. After a failed attempt on her life, Elisa decides to embark on a journey to redeem herself and revitalize her country - before it is too late.

Elisa has earned her spot amongst my favorite female protagonists. She's not a Mary Sue reincarnate, but she's not an unrealistically kick-butt heroine either. She learns from her mistakes and possesses a patriotism alongside her personal compassion that pushes her forward. As a seventeen-year-old, Elisa manages to act her age and exceed what's expected of her as well.

The plot entranced me enough to keep me reading for three hours straight instead of doing my government homework. The Crown of Embers blends political intrigue, palace politics, and good old high fantasy action and adventure to create a winning combination. Everything worked effectively and the cliffhanger made me internally scream in frustration.

I give the romance in this book 6/5 stars - I ship Hector and Elisa so hard. Finally, a young-adult romance that's not, "okay, we just met twenty pages ago, but I am already irrevocably in love with you." Elisa and Hector's relationship is built on respect, trust, and companionship. They didn't rush their feelings, which made it much more rewarding because every time they acted on their emotions I squealed. The cliffhanger only exacerbated my affection for them and I am almost dying to see whether they will make it or not.

Overall, I cannot wait for The Bitter Kingdom. This series has become an unexpected and unappreciated favorite. I hope more people decide to pick it up, because it is definitely worth it.

I loved this book. It was a whirlwind of emotions. I honestly did not expect it to be THAT good. I liked the first book, I liked Elisa, but now I admire the girl - what a wonderful character development indeed! She came a way from one of the most annoying heroines to one of my favorite heroines. Just WOW. Elisa was left with the kingdom on her fragile young shoulders and in The crown of embers we see how really hard it is to be a queen. More dangerous intrigues are plotted behind Elise's back and hard decisions must be made. I thought Elisa was strong in the end of The girl of fire and thorns, but I was wrong: in this book she is vulnerable and strong at the same time and that makes her one of the best characters ever. She hesitates, she suffers, she loves, she rules and she becomes more mature - not an innocent girl anymore, but a woman. Elisa awakens sexually and all her previous loves seem like a child's play compared to what she feels now.

I loved how intrinsic the plot was. We have palace intrigues and assassination attempts. The enemy is so close and Elise can trust only the closest friends. And decisions she must make - oh it's so hard to be queen:

“Remember this moment and treasure it, my sky. No sovereign remains popular forever.”

“But you have difficult decisions coming up, like raising taxes to support rebuilding efforts. You will find that when people are tightening their belts, your heroics won’t matter. They will blame you, Your Majesty, and you alone. They’ll demand we hand you over to our enemy.”

Is it really worth it, to destroy someone’s life to save my own? Even if I am the queen?

This book has more romance. It's slow-burning but so sensual and intense. Hector surprised me in this book. I liked him from the first part, but he was just a friend and I didn't think much of him, and here we have him as one of the MCs and oh my, he is hot. Every moment they spent together, every touch - everything is oh-so-sensual. Hector is my new favorite book boyfriend.
This time, when his arm slides around me, it feels slower, more deliberate.“The trick,” he says in my ear, “is to be wholly committed to your action. No hesitation.” His arm tightens in a little jerk, and I catch my breath. “Do you understand, Elisa?

But something in the air has changed. I am too deeply aware of the warmth of his nearness, the scents of mink oil and aloe shaving gel, the touch of his callused but gentle fingers. And I am forced to conclude that doing the slow, dancelike warm-up exercises of the Royal Guard with Hector as my partner is not calming at all.

With a swift motion, he cups the back of my head and presses his warm lips to mine. The pit of my stomach drops away as I open my mouth to his.He groans, wrapping his other arm around my waist, pulling me toward him until I am almost in his lap. I arch against him; my breath comes fast as he explores my mouth. Before, his kisses were patient and sweet. But there is nothing of sweetness in him now, just heat and desperate need.

Do you see what I mean? It is so intense and sensual and... I want more of these two.

There was another male character who surprised me not once and he is my number two favorite male in this book. It's Storm. Well, it's a short version of his name, the longer one is... well, longer. Storm is mysterious and arrogant and I am sure we'll see more of his past in the next book and will learn a few of his secrets.

And the ending... well, I am so happy I read this book after the last one is already out and waiting for me.

More action, more intrigue, more magic, more humor and love. I understand now all the hype about this series. It is THAT good. If you haven't read this series yet, read it as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed.

I enjoyed this book.

Elisa discovers it’s not easy being queen especially when it appears someone is trying to undermine her.
She makes mistakes and bad decisions and it’s very easy to forget that she’s only seventeen years old. But she’s intelligent and learns from her mistakes.

My issues with the first book weren’t really a problem here.

Holy Fuck, a book without insta-love! There must be a blue moon or something, right?

Thoughts:

Rae Carson may be one of the few authors of Young Adult fiction I love most. Here’s why: she doesn’t slut shame, she doesn’t write insta-love, she writes realistic character development, and she has the heroine save herself instead of the male lead swooping in.

But, she also does something I feel was quite brave: she created a story line that has a big influenc ...more
