Written by Rebecca Coffindaffer

Narrated by Reba Buhr

Perfect for fans of Aurora Rising, The Hunger Games, and Three Dark Crowns, this electrifying duology closer is jam-packed with tension and thrills that will hook readers from its first page.

Alyssa Farshot never wanted to rule the empire. But to honor her uncle’s dying wish, she participated in the crownchase, a race across the empire’s 1,001 planets to find the royal seal and win the throne. Alyssa tried to help her friend, Coy, win the crownchase, but just as victory was within their grasp, Edgar Voles killed Coy—and claimed the seal for himself.

Broken-hearted over her friend’s death, Alyssa is hell-bent on revenge. But Edgar is well protected in the kingship. Alyssa will have to rally rivals, friends, and foes from across the empire to take him down and change the course of the galaxy.

A satisfying conclusion. I didn't find it as engrossing as the first book but I have been very moody about my book choices lately so it might just be me.

Series Info/Source: This is the second (and final) book in the Crownchasers duology. I borrowed an ebook of this from the library.Thoughts: I really loved this conclusion to the Crownchasers duology. This book was incredibly fast-paced with an amazing story and wonderful characters. The action is non-stop and I just enjoyed every second of this. Alyssa is in a tough spot and makes the rash decision to try and assassinate Edgar (the new emperor). With Hell Monkey by her side, she tries to follow her path to revenge but ultimately things go wrong. This leads Alyssa and Hell Monkey down a path they never expected. They are forced to make alliances and eventually lead a revolution to overthrow it all.Alyssa and Hell Monkey are both amazing characters. I do love that we get to learn more about Hell Monkey’s history here and I love how he supports Alyssa and how resourceful he is. Alyssa can be frustrating at times with the rash decisions she makes, but I loved her for it all the more. There are a lot of fantastic side characters here as well. The characters are snarky, tough, and heartwarming all at once; an excellent job was done with characterization here.Although there is some planet exploration here, it was much less than in the first book. The world-building remains top notch, but you just don’t see as many unique planets. Rather, you get non-stop action and a lot of space battles; as well as more politics. I loved it and there were actually parts of the book that moved so stunningly fast they left me breathless. I pretty much loved every minute of it. My Summary (5/5): Overall this was an amazing conclusion to an amazing sci-fi duology. This series would make a fantastic sci-fi movie as well. The whole thing was very well done! I loved the world, the characters, the action scenes, the fast pace, and the way everything was wrapped up with such a hopeful tone. I would highly recommend to those who enjoy high octane sci-fi adventures with a great story and some heart. I can’t wait to see what Coffindaffer writes next!

An excellent conclusion to this duology. Plenty of high stakes situations, intrigue and a slam bang ending.
