Book Reviews of Crown Duel (Crown Duel / Court Duel)
Book Review: One of my All-time Favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered Crown Duel and Court Duel about six years ago when i was looking for books to bring on vacation with me. I found this book, and I wasn't expecting too much from it. However, then I started reading and I was instantly hooked.The plot is enjoyable, but it's the characters that pull you in. The main character Meliara is very human, and you can see her flaws even while admiring her and cheering her on throughout the book. Overall, it's a fantastic read, and the book is one of my favorites, so much so, that my copy is starting to fall apart.
Summary of Crown Duel (Crown Duel / Court Duel)
Young Countess Meliara swears to her dying father that she and her brother will defend their people from the growing greed of the king. That promise leads them into a war for which they are ill-prepared, which threatens the very people they are trying to protect. But war is simple compared to what follows, in peacetime. Meliara is summoned to live at the royal palace, where friends and enemies look alike, and intrigue fills the dance halls and the drawing rooms. If she is to survive, Meliara must learn a whole new way of fighting-with wits and words and secret alliances.In war, at least, she knew in whom she could trust. Now she can trust no one.
