Here we are again, this is the sequel and finale to Crown of Coral and Pearl. The story picks up where we left off with Nor returning home after stabbing Prince Ceren. Unfortunately for her but fortunately for us Prince Ceren has survived! ( I was genuinely so happy my favorite character survived haha, you really can’t keep a bad bitch down). Nor, now facing the fact that her sister’s boyfriend Sami is missing and that Ceren is after her, must now embark on another journey. This time she is accompanied by Talin and her Zadie. We are also introduced to a new character, Roan, aka the random love interest that is supposed to create a love triangle between Nor and Talin. A majority of this book is spent with Nor struggling with her feelings of feeling trapped by Talin and not know what to do with her future. We are also introduced to Talin’s family and how his mother plays into the political situation in the story. Ceren doesn’t really make an appearance until about 40% into the book and thats when things start to actually pick up, after consuming Nor’s blood he is now connected to her and they both have been seeing visions of each other. Ceren still is a sympathetic villain to me and honestly, he still remains my favorite character out of everybody in this duology. Sadly, the story wasn’t as interesting as the first book but still was a nice way to conclude the journey of the characters. The first book was much more focused and had a more stake driven plot with Nor trying to survive the palace, while this one was much more of a road journey story about Nor and co trying to reach a destination and than trying to sort out the political drama amongst all of them. All in all this was a fine way to end the series and I was so happy to get to read more about Ceren!
