I have read so many Fae novels that I can practically predict what’s going to happen. Shattered Kingdom has kept me on the edge of my seat since the first page. There are a few things I want to mention about “Wicked Crown”:
There are sections in the book that are told in the perspectives of the other characters. I know that’s a little tricky to do well, but I truly believe that they’re important in the development of this story. The story would have dragged if we had to read all the details as they would have developed in the book. Being able to glance into the situations that were happening simultaneously kept the pacing of this book where it’s at. So I think the author made a good call writing it in this way.
Gandrett: I like her character and I like that she’s a core piece to this story. I’m finding myself wondering if she would continue to fight knowing everything that is being kept from her. Like, if all the secrets were revealed, would she continue on the same path to help the cause…?
Armand: His story breaks my heart. I hope he has a good ending and is able to get everything he deserves. He is proving to be a king in the making, even though it sounds like he is running from that calling.
Brax: I really like him and I hope to read more about his character and story. He’s a good brother and my heart was breaking for him towards the end of this book. He and Armand have definitely needed to grow up and carry some heavy burdens for the good of their people.
Meister: so at first I thought he was going to be a villain… I’m curious to learn more about him and how he views his role in the priory.
Nehelon: Fae! Enough said! So he’s proven to be a very complicated character. I get his conflict, he could easily be more open with Gandrett but more than his feelings for her, is his responsibility. I didn’t understand it until the end of this book. Now it makes sense why he’s been acting the way he has. I hope in the next book, there are more resolutions and hopefully a good turning point as far as his plans go.
If you’re still wondering if you should read this book, Yes! A resounding YES! It’s actually a very well written book. It’s fun, funny, action packed, and the characters are all very likable. Even the villains make you curious about them.

Great follow up book!
I have to say, I love when an author of a series, doesn't repeat the prior book throughout the current book. Steffort is such author. She just picks up where the last book left off, like it's just a new chapter.Every character went through changes, no one was stagnant. I cannot express enough how important growth is for a storyline, especially in a series. There were no boring parts or parts that seemed to drag.This was a great read, one I recommend for lovers of Fae⭐⭐⭐⭐
