Kye's Reviews > The Crown of Rosemund

They Crown of Rosemund is you typical spoiled princess has her life turned upside town by a coup and must learn to become a strong leader to retake her throne. There is not thing new in this story that has not already been done; however, it is still a very enjoyable tale. The writing in the beginning needs some work and is stilted. As the story progresses the writing becomes better and the author stops failing at trying to make the language seem time appropriate considering the story takes place in the late 1400s.

Rose's transformation from pampered princess to capable monarch is well paced. In the beginning, I found the author's choice of phrasing annoying as she tried to point out how different this lifestyle is from Rose's life in the palace. We do not need to know that Rose's royal scheduled consisted of her getting up late and take naps late in the afternoon. It did not create the juxtaposition I believe the author intended. Instead, it created a contempt for Rose until she had finally begun to prove herself.

Rose's plan to take back her throne and the relationships she builds along the way are fleshed out and enjoyable. There was even a twist I did not see coming, and I definitely enjoyed it. Overall I would give the book 3.5/5 stars, rounding up to 4 for GoodReads.

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me with a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. #NetGalley #NetGalleyReview
