A Royal Tournament. Thrilling Magic. Deadly Mysteries. Slow-Burn Romance.

Last night, Eira killed a man.

However justified her actions were, many now regard her as a cold-blooded murderer and a heretic who extinguished their hope. But there’s no time to explain herself. She barely has a chance to wash the blood off her hands before the Tournament of Five Kingdoms begins.

Sequestered with the other champions for the duration of the tournament, Eira must now navigate the games, her competition, the enemies who hunt her head, and — somehow worse than all the rest — being stuck in close quarters with the man who broke her heart.

All is fair in love and magical tournaments, and Eira is ready for the fight of her life.

Get ready for twists you never saw coming in A Tournament of Crowns. This series is perfect for readers who enjoy young adult, epic fantasy full of elemental magic, slow-burn romance, found family, and battles for the futures of kingdoms set in a world you’ll never want to leave.

Don’t miss a single book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series. Readers should start with A Trial of Sorcerers, and then A Hunt of Shadows, before reading A Tournament of Crowns.

Ha!! Finished just like I thought it would!

Ha!! Finished just like I thought it would!
Now the almost year long wait for the final book!I enjoyed this installment in the “Trial of Sorcerers” series very much. It had the competition elements that I enjoyed in the first book again along with the formation of a triangle. Although the story was more about discovering secrets and learning to have trust in your friends and learning to let said friends help you in dangerous endeavors. Found Family at its finest!This series is for those who love elemental magic, are fans of the “Air Awakens” and “Vortex Chronicles” series, who love competition stories, and spy work novels.This book ends on a cliffhanger and leaves many questions to be answered in the final book. Which I will wait for with bated breath!For audiophiles like myself, Vanessa Moyen, once again, gives an incredible performance!

The book arrived in excellent condition. The storyline was compelling and interesting - no R-rated sex scenes. Of course, there is a cliffhanger at the end, so you'll want to read Elise's next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fantasy. Romance was lacking. Eira being the "One" was annoying.

The story had many exciting elements about it, the tournament itself, the Pillars, Eira's interactions with the other contestants, and character growth. All in all, it was an entertaining read and I'd recommend the series to others.

Character Growth
I appreciated the depth to Eira's character and her ability to grow in each book. Also, her reconnecting with family.

The Savior
Two things I didn't like about it, the first was the way Eira solved everything herself, and that her beauty and skills were hyped up too much. There were more than enough one liners "Eira figured it out," "Eira is the one who save you" etc. that had made it feel cheesy. She was clearly the "one and only one" able to figure out any information and save the day . . . in every situation, and, of course, the most beautiful and desirous and powerful and. . . . Their team having won so many events (because of her) also was a bit too much.

Romance
On the romantic side, I enjoyed the addition of the foreign competitor, but cannot say I remember him from book two. Their relationship development was built up well. As long as he doesn't turn into the new Cullen (instalove like in book two) and stays strong, I'll continue to like him.

Cullen's character, on the other hand, went down the drain. This was the second part that I didn't like about the story. He was attractive in the first book, confident, commanding, powerful. In the second book, he became a weak character who pined after Eira without reason. There were no obvious reasons why or how he fell in love with Eira. They went from acquaintances to "I can't live without you Eira" without development.

My least favorite scenes in this book were when Cullen kept professing his love for Eira. He continued to run after her, even after she turned him down multiple times. At this point, he's a throw away character, which is a shame because there was so much lost potential for him in the series.

All in all, I cannot wait to finish this series.

This is my favorite in this series so far. I loved that the story was centered around the tournament while at the same time still addressing and dealing with the chaos that started in the first and second books.

I’m so happy and scared for Eira; I really hope she can catch a break soon. I’m worried about her both because of the stunt she pulled there at the end as well as the company in which she accidentally found herself. I can’t wait for that explanation.

This book made me really want to go back and read Vi’s story more than I already wanted to because it was very clear that there is a lot there. I’d really like to know what it is.

I’m floored every time I meet more characters in Elise’s books because she not only makes an incredible main character (or five) but every side character is also very well written. We love a good side character, and I’m glad we got to meet a few more in this book.

Needless to say, as always, what a freaking cliffhanger. I’m excited for the next book and to see how each of our friends ends up following all of that chaos.

If there is anyone who can pull me away from a book slump it is this queen Elise Kova…..

Mam! That cliff hanger! That ending! Aaaaahh how do I wait a year for the next book!?! How!?! I can’t.

Short review trying to keep it spoiler free my feelings above is an even shorter summary.

This is the third book to the trial of sorcerers series set in the air awaken world of Elise Kova.
This book is definitely more plot driven then we have character driven. It had me struggling a bit at the begging but as we go on deeper into the story elise again does her magic and makes me go into awe about her books.

My heart is screaming Eira is struggling with so much from book one losing her brother to now. The girl just doesn’t catch any breaks.
Cullen has me screaming in anger at his wishy wash manners stand up to your father you are the source to your family’s nobility what are you doing! Being daddy’s little helper over here and just following rules.

I love to seeing the friendship between the three female the friendships have grown so much from book one.

The ending the ending has me at the edge of my seat as always. The way they left them in their state so much questions so many answers to receive I will say I am terrified cuz Elise has never shied away from killing of her characters of it’s needed for the plot which god… please mam spare us!

This book like most of Elise books have made their way into my heart of hearts I can’t wait for the next installment

I am a big fan of Elise but this book, this series has been a let down. Book 1 was amazing and I couldn't put it down. But now going on to book 4 I find the series really dragging and lacking the excitement book one gave. The main FMC , was disappointing in the battles. For someone so gifted her power seemed weak in this book. Not really sure what there is to look for in the next book but to wait a year in between books seems to increase my disappointment.

I was glad I clicked the link and read the summaries of the previous books because it truly brought me back into the Kingdom of Meru. I loved this book more than the second, as there was lots of magic, character development and watching Eira grow into who she is, new relationships and intriguing new characters from Kingdoms I wanted to explore more. I read it all in one night, which means I didn't sleep at all but it was worth it. The cliffhanger at the end has me wanting it to be 2024 already so I can get my hands on Eira's next adventure.

so...Elise is and always will be one of my fav authors. Her writing amazes me and she seems so nice!
Honestly I will buy every book she writes (it doesn't have to be a book, i will gladly take her shopping lists)

I have always thought that Aldrik Solaris will be (among Eldas) my fav love interest from her books BUT now ladies and gentlemen, i gladly present to you... Cullen. I just adore him. And how he talks about his feelings? whew. If i was Eira, i would give him my heart right away.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE "side" characters here and i would LOVE to see more about them - especially about our friend Noelle and her "crush"!!

The plot of this book was as good as in the others - i really enjoyed it. I was thinking it will only be a trilogy and i was WAITING and WAITING for my fav couple to be together and then BUM - it was the end of the book! It made me sad because how long do they have to suffer?? Like hear me out my friend Elise - you just can't keep breaking my hear over and over, i NEED for them to have their happy ending :(

ANYWAY i really liked the whole idea of this Tournament - it was a nice piece of work and i am DYING to see how the story will continue!

Elise Kova is now definitely one of my favourite authors and I know when I pick up one of her books, I won't be let down. I certainly wasn't here!

A Tournament of Crowns is the 3rd book in this series but I highly recommend reading the Air Awakens series and then the Vortex Visions series before this one (all of which are INCREDIBLE).

I won't delve too deeply into the storyline as I don't want to give anything away but I really enjoyed this book! It is centred around the tournament which Eira, Cullen, Allys and Noelle are competing in as the champions of Solaris. It is filled with action within the tournament and outside of it as Eira continues to try and defeat the extremists called the Pillars. There were SO many twists and turns through this books and I loved the character development and all of the new characters. I especially love Olivin and Ducot! Noelle also continue to make me laugh!
I couldn't quite give it 5 stars as I found the romance aspect to be a little tiresome and probably because I have very clear views on who I want Eira to end up with!
The ending was INSANELY good and I am desperate for the next book and heartbroken I have to wait another year!

Elise Kova continue to be an incredible author who has me hooked from start to finish. Her books are so addictive and I rarely guess the twists correctly which is not the norm generally!

Overall a brilliant addition to this series and I cannot recommend new readers to delve into this world more. Just make sure you read the series in order!!

A thrilling addition to the A TRIAL OF SORCERERS series, this book takes Eira on a journey of conspiracy and emotion as she and her friends enter a dangerous competition meant to establish peace throughout the world.

Eira spends much of the book torn between her feelings for Cullen, whose unexpected engagement put a damper in their relationship. If that, familial troubles, and her participation in the tournament were not enough, Eira must find a way to act as a spy to subvert the actions of the Pillars, all while finding herself in the orbit of another handsome spy. It’s a lot for any one person to take on, and while I think too much focus was put on Eira and Cullen’s relationship. I enjoyed it, though I was a lot more invested Eira and her friends’ spying adventures.

The plot moves quickly, thanks to the tournament and its events. There are plenty of characters who bring different challenges and it will be interesting to see their roles going forward.

As ever, the world building and magic is inventive, allowing Kova to craft an inventive, thrilling novel for readers to enjoy. The ending is explosive, and I can’t wait to see the next adventure Eira and her friends encounter!
