What Remains of Us (The Crownless Realms, Book 2)
By Elvie Grace
This was a fantastically frustrating sequel to To Save the Few. (This review will contain spoilers for book one. For my spoiler-free review of To Save The Few, click here.)
To Save The Few establishes our worldbuilding and love triangle, and reveals that our main character, Seren, is a changeling. In book two, she is forced to come to terms with and learn to control a power she never wanted, surrounded by Fae who are deeply suspicious of her.
To further aggravate our readers, Seren’s guilt and suspicion overpower her so greatly that her slow-burn romantic relationship grinds to a frustrating halt as she seeks to avoid her love interest, who hasn’t been entirely truthful with her about her powers or their bond.
This is a political, angsty volume that certainly doesn’t wrap up this romantasy series and leaves you with more questions than answers. With that said, the angst in this novel, while sometimes pretty extra, is believable under the war-torn Fae realm and our characters’ changing circumstances.
I may have yelled outright at this book, to the great alarm of my husband.
If you want a series that will potentially destroy you, I recommend To Save The Few and What Remains of Us by Elvie Grace.
