Why read it?

1 author picked The Elements of the Crown as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For this one, I loved how utterly surprising the plot was. The book is well written, and the characters are so dynamic, but just when I thought I had things figured out, I realized I was completely wrong. There is an adventure in this one, but it really weaves around a love story… maybe a potential love story? I don’t want to give too much away!

The world is really well built, the characters are fun, and I found it difficult not to root for some sparks to fly (beyond the magical ones, of course!). 

From Autumn's list on elemental magic and fantasy adventure.
