I liked the storyline better in "The crown I deserve". The writing is also more thorough and intriguing there. But this book feels more like character development, thinking, mind, and how these characters think, which I find amazing.
Honestly, I loved George very much in the first book. in the second book he has grown and matured since it's set 10 years after the previous book. But, he was annoying at time.
I love how Yara makes us despise her characters and make us still love them and care about them somehow. They are very childish at times but it really shows how some don't actually grow, how some are selfish and live for their own glory.
Although, I cared for them, at times I wished for their lost.
YARA, HOW DARE YOU NOT EVER GIVE US A HAPPILY EVER AFTER. This shows us indeed that life doesn't always end well, but come on!!!!! I WOULD HAVE MUCH RATHERED FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SUFFER THAN THE ONE THAT DID.
5 stars.
