Enjoying this delicious caramel cheesecake made by my sister in law while I‘m reading Liar‘s Crown. I haven‘t been on here due to working 80-100 hours a week during the Covid, plus couple of major illnesses and was hit by a drunk driver back in November 2022. I‘m healing and changing my priorities. So I‘m back! Happy Easter, everyone!

Meren, secret twin of the future queen, has one purpose. To be the queen‘s body double when a dangerous enemy sends an unexpected gift. She didn‘t count on also getting kidnapped.

A strong start. Interesting magic, political intrigue, fascinating world building. Then a speed run through lots of my YA Dislike boxes, & it lost me. With uneven pacing & a cliffhanger ending that feels like the middle of the book, I was deeply disappointed. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

KateReadsYA Another review I agree with wholeheartedly! Haha it's spot on how I felt as well. Super strong start and then just very not what I wanted. 2y

⚠️Unfinished Series⚠️
Started this as an audiobook and then switched to written for those times that I didn‘t have headphones and needed to know what was happening without bothering everyone. A unique idea involving shadow magic!

I loved this story and I cannot wait for the sequel. Great characters with a couldn't-put-it-down plot.

I thoroughly enjoyed our January pick for #WhimsicalReadsBookClub!! The writing could have been a bit more descriptive, but I still give it a 4/5! Great plot though! Definitely gonna pick up the 2nd one when it drops this year. 💕 Thanks to everyone who read with us this month!

I finished listening to this while traveling today and found it to be just ok. I just didn‘t feel invested in any of the characters and lost interest in the story as it progressed. I won‘t be continuing this series.

I was drawn to this book by the beautiful cover. In the beginning I felt a lot was happening but I will say that the world didn't draw me in as much as I'd hoped. Their wasn't enough description and towards the middle I felt like it dragged on the wrong details while more important details were left out! Towards the end the whole political aspect of it had me a bit lost and withdrawn at times. Keep reading in comments....

KateReadsYA There were also some parts of the story pertaining to the romance between two characters that left me a but annoyed and questioning their actions. I wasn't really rooting for anyone by the end of it so I don't think I'll continue on to book 2. I'm not upset I read this and I'm leaving 3.5 stars! 2y

#whimsicalreads2023 I inhaled this one! @KateReadsYA this was an excellent pick! I literally read this this afternoon in one sitting. It was a deliciously fast paced story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

KateReadsYA Wow I am soooo glad that our first Read of the year has you giving 5 stars!!! If I could sit and read it in one sitting I would because the story line is seriously that good. Every chapter it just gets better and better. So happy you loved it. 💖 2y

Clwojick Such a pretty cover! 2y
KateReadsYA @Clwojick I totally picked it up because of the cover 💖 2y
Clwojick I just found it on Scribd, so I‘ll join for January! I don‘t read much fantasy, but I‘m always up for something new. I‘m terrible at staying on a set reading schedule, and normally finish all in one go, but feel free to tag me in any discussions! Are you planning on hosting this on Litsy all year? If so, I‘ll get busy making a bullet journal spread. 😉 2y

KateReadsYA @Clwojick Some people finish the monthly pick in a day and some do a set weekly reading schedule so it's all up to you! 2y
Clwojick Sounds great! I probably won‘t join a new app, but I‘ll try to keep up with it on Litsy! 2y
KateReadsYA @Clwojick that's totally fine. I'll make sure to tag you in all future posts :) 💜 2y

Thought this would be right up my alley, but I found some plot points unnecessary and out of place. A story of twin sisters which of course becomes about mistaken identities and all types of secrets and betrayals. I‘ll probably read the next one in the series when it comes out but it was only good not great. #seriesread2022 @TheSpineView

As soon as I heard the word “retelling” I immediately requested The Liar‘s Crown by Abigail Owen on NetGalley. Probably my favorite aspect is that the plot is not lost to the romance. The romance was well thought out, and more importantly, the plot was the main focus of the novel. Furthermore, Meren was a phenomenal character! She felt so realistic and very three-dimensional. The entire book was written so eloquently, & the ending was everything!
