Description In Favor Of Books Child of Flame (Crown of Stars #4)

Set in an alternate Europe where bloody conflicts rage, the fourth book of the Crown of Stars epic fantasy series continues the world-shaking conflict for the survival of humanity

Far beyond the borders of Wendar and Varre, Alain, Liath, Sanglant, and King Henry must make their separate journeys, following twisting roads which will nevertheless lead them all to one fated moment in time....

Lost and alone in an unknown country, Alain is caught in a desperate struggle for survival even as he finds himself unwittingly drawn into the heart of an ancient conflict between humankind and the Cursed Ones....

Torn away from Sanglant and their child by creatures not born of earth, Liath faces her most difficult trial in a land of exile. Only there can she hope to discover her true parentage and the nature and extent of her unique powers....

Still staggered by the loss of his wife, the bastard prince Sanglant is nevertheless determined to seek out his father, King Henry, and bring warning of the conspiracy of sorcerers who've sworn to put an end to the Aoi, the Lost Ones--no matter how much destruction may be unleashed by their workings of magic....

But King Henry's attention is not on his own troubled realm but rather on the throne of Aosta and the imperial crown, unclaimed for two generations. Even as a Quman army ravages the Wendish countryside, Henry marches south, ignoring the pleas of his beleaguered subjects....

And as the tides of war and magic wreak havoc across the lands, the great Cataclysm, long foretold in the stars, draws inexorably closer....

Criticism Based On Books Child of Flame (Crown of Stars #4)

I don't know how, but Elliott's Crown of Stars series just keeps getting better and better. At this point, the pacing is tight (with brief pauses for the Eika, who I no longer care about), the stakes are amazingly high, the world is beautifully crafted and I can't wait to find out what's next.And I'm not sure if it's really a 5-star book for me, but I cried a lot, so there you go. And small spoilers: (view spoiler)[Usually I really hate those women holy suicides, but the way Elliott wrote it



So this book took me literal months to read, partly because my kindle broke when I was in the middle of it. This derailed me severely! I had spent the night reading it and then, in the morning, it just didn't work anymore. Anyrate, this caused me to not read it for a few months and then very slowly get back into it.But! I think this might be my favorite of these novels. It still has some issues, though I think my problems with the worldbuilding are becoming more nuanced. Or rather, my issues are

I enjoyed it though Im not sure the new characters work or needed to be there. Its a big shrug to me to be honest.

I see your crown, brighter than the stars. You have wandered off the path meant for you, and you must return.Third book is normally where most of the series end or at least slow down in a preparation for a grand finale. In the Crown of Stars the mere warmup had finished and now we are down to business. This time we are taken beyond the borders of the war-torn kingdom of Wendar. War and magic separated our heroes and pushed them onto various paths. Generally, war is everywhere: mainly in the

This was a relatively weak book for me in the series. Alain going back in time was not great for me. All of those sections dragged, and felt overall unnecessary. And there was a lot of Alain time in this one! Conversely, there wasn't enough Stronghand. More Stronghand is more better, so that was another knock. Liath also suffered from the Alain problem. Taking her out of the action and only checking in on her for interludes didn't work for me. While taking her out of the main characters orbits

3.5 rounded up. The story is getting more layered and complex - almost too complex, perhaps. I'm not going to attempt to explain the story at all - if you like epic fantasy and have a gap for some serious reading than add this series to your TBR.
