This sounds like a great fantasy novel for fans of the genre. The strong female lead character is interesting. I enjoyed reading your review

Seems a cool fantasy book alongside having a lot of intrigue created in it. A little unfortunate that the main character suffers from "telling, not showing" in regards to her own supposedly deadly nature.

Thank you for the review!

Your review gives a good over view of the book. It sounds interesting...the whole idea of an assassin Queen leading a secret life is quite unique. However I think I will pass on this one

The main character here reminds me of Arya Stark of the Game of Thrones.
I agree that there needs to be consistency in the characters' development and evolution, so an inefficient assassin cannot be credible.
However, in the matter of deception by love, I do not think there is anybody strong enough to resist it.
Thank you for the great review!

Awesome review!!! I can't wait to finish this book. It sounds so exciting. Magic and adventure combined with skills of Aerietta, like you described, is going to be a great combination. I hope I like the book as much as you liked it.

Reviewer was very through with this book and I mostly agree with everything you had to say about it. My only complain is - where is the second book!? I checked, it was several years after release and I still waiting to know how storyline will be developing next. Please hurry!

Fantasy is not my thing especially when it deals with many characters with different "motives and trustworthiness." I prefer a less tangled plot.

A female assani?its a really interesting science fiction full of fantasy. The pointing out of the queen and her character development is so great too. Though its captioning war I looking forward to reading the novel.Thanks for the insight.

Crimson is considered the color of fresh blood. The Title of This book ''Crown of Crimson'' fits Arietta well,as an assasin She has killed many, and Herself tortured. She claims that She is not a coward but rather calculating, will She emerge victorious?
