I absolutely adored The Briar Crown! Roslyn was a fantastic protagonist, and I loved following her journey and her conflicts. I loved the one bathroom trope! The writing style was compelling, and the plot gripping. When I wasn't reading this, I was looking forward to when I could pick it up again. Do yourself a favor and read this book!
