THE CRIMSON THRONE BY SARA RAASCH AND BETH REVIS (ARC REVIEW)

★★★.5

THE CRIMSON THRONE BY SARA RAASCH AND BETH REVIS

Thank you Sourcebooks and Netgalley for the ARC.

3.5 stars 

What first pulled me into this book was the Outlander meets Cruel Prince - it definitely intrigued me and after reading I get what it means! If you were ever a lover of Reign or just the Tudor history (like me) and read fantasy this would definitely be for you! Because what if Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I’s Scotland and England were separated by a wall initiated by the fae.

This started off really strong and I love Alyn’s character - there’s something about a strong female protagonist who knows how to wield her powers that makes it so exciting to read from her POV! Samson was an interesting hero and their relationship dynamic was sweet and electric at the same time.

The only thing that fell flat for me at some points was the plot that lost me at times then hooked me back in. 

Overall, I think this was a really unique idea and after the ending of the first book I’m excited to see where it takes!
