What an epic adventure ❣️ This is a violent beginning indeed..
Vestige of the Crown is a magical story that will make you cry, laugh, longe, cry again and wish you were able to help them.
With a fateful betrayal to the Crown, three knights, one prince, a princess and a "mistress of the horses" are on the run as traitors. Soon they will learn that there aren't many allies along their journey and will have to endure awful truths.
At first, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the many character POVs, but then I started enjoying it, being able to see the actions and thoughts of everyone, even the "bad guys".
In a greyish world where survival is tough even for a knight and harder still for a woman, our fugitives found friendship, kindness, and even love amid the chaos.
With a rollercoaster of emotions, I felt it all: the loss of the people left behind and the loss of what would never be 💔 I absolutely loved all the banter and all the despair.. this story destroyed me!
Thank you E.C. for the ARC and this beautiful heartbreaking, as we readers like it.. and I'll be waiting for the next book, truly I'm ready for it right now!
