I received the ARC for this book and I'm so glad that I did it was epic!
Oh my goodness, where do I even start with Kingdom of Crowns and Daggers? This book was an absolute whirlwind of emotions, and I loved every second of it! Set in the cutthroat kingdom of Dresha, where power is everything and loyalty is in short supply, this story had me hooked from the start.
Alyx is our fierce heroine—a girl forged by the harsh realities of life as an orphan. She becomes a deadly assassin, part of the notorious gang known as The Daggers. Her journey is raw and powerful, and I admired her resilience. Crux, the head assassin who took her under his wing, also stole my heart. His unspoken love for Alyx adds such a poignant layer to the narrative. You can practically feel the tension every time they interact!
Then, there's King Joha, who enters the picture when Alyx saves him from a terrible fate. The offer he presents—pretending to be his betrothed to uncover a plot against him—was absolutely gripping! I found myself torn between Alyx's desire for revenge and the undeniable chemistry that blooms between her and Joha.
And let's not forget Orion, the king's head guard. His initial distrust of Alyx is so relatable; I mean, who wouldn't be wary of a former assassin? But watching him gradually open up to her, ultimately falling for her, added a delicious tension to the plot.
Towards the end, just when I thought I had it all figured out, BAM! A twist that completely blindsided me! Seriously, grab your tissues because the emotional rollercoaster is real. With kingdoms rising, friendships shattering, and shocking truths coming to light, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Kingdom of Crowns and Daggers is a beautifully written tale that explores themes of power, revenge, and the quest for love. Seriously, if you're ready for a wild ride through a world where every character has secrets and every page holds a surprise, dive into this one! You won't regret it.
