Fire & Thorns Series Read-Along: The Crown of Embers, Chapters 1-10 #ReadingRae


We're back! After taking a short break, we're back to talk more about Rae Carson's books. You can follow our discussions about Rae's book via our #READINGRAE hashtag. Today's book talk is for Rae's CROWN OF EMBERS. This is the second book in her The Girl of Fire and Thrones series. Today I'm briefly sharing my thoughts on the first 10 chapters of the book.

Add it to Goodreads

She does not know what awaits her at the enemy's gate.

Elisa is a hero.

She led her people to victory over a terrifying, sorcerous army. Her place as the country's ruler should be secure. But it isn't.

Her enemies come at her like ghosts in a dream, from foreign realms and even from within her own court. And her destiny as the chosen one has not yet been fulfilled.

To conquer the power she bears, once and for all, Elisa must follow a trial of long-forgotten—and forbidden—clues, from the deep, hidden catacombs of her own city to the treacherous seas. With her go a one-eyed spy, a traitor, and the man whom—despite everything—she is falling in love with.

If she's lucky, she will return from this journey. But there will be a cost.


My Thoughts

I love this series. I have loved that Rae wrote each book, so that the as soon as you're done with one book, you can pick up the next one and immediately jump right back into the story where the previous book left off. What stinks for this post, is that I picked up The Bitter Kingdom (book 3 in the series) by accident, and read the first 10 chapters of it. So, I will be updating my thoughts on the first ten chapters of The Crown of Embers shortly. I do have to say, that it's hard only read ten chapters at a time, because Rae's writing is so addicting.
