After introducing us to Vika and Nikolai, the Crown’s Game proper commences in short order. Skye wastes little time getting into the thick of things. The magic here can be small or big, but it is always wondrous. The main characters and a handful of minor ones are constantly using magic to do, well, everything, from conjuring food to creating entire islands with vegetation and magical park benches that take you into dream worlds.
Every once in a while, though, it’s nice to just go all out, like Evelyn Skye does here. Don’t get me wrong: I like books that don’t have much magic too. Well, to start, there is no shortage of magic in this book. So why did I enjoy The Crown’s Game so damn much?
None of this is new, some of it is often boring. This is a book that shouldn’t work, but it does.
