Goddess Crown Zusammenfassung

Goddess Crown Shade Lapite

Opulence, beauty, and danger... A magnificent and triumphant debut. Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author

For fans of Twin Crowns and TikTok sensations To Kill a Kingdom and This Woven Kingdom

The royal court of Galla is as dangerous as it is glamorous... Kalothia will need every ounce of courage and wit, if she is to avenge those she loves ... and stay alive.

Kalothia has grown up in the shadows of her kingdom, hidden away in the East after her parents were outed as enemies of the king. When assassins attack her home on her sixteenth birthday, she must flee to the king's court - a beautiful but lethal nest of poison, plots and danger, overseen by an entrenched patriarchy. Can Kalothia navigate this most worldly of places to find her own role? What if she must choose between her country and her heart?

A fast-paced, romantic and feminist YA fantasy full of danger and courtly intrigue.

Goddess Crown Bewertungen

The story's well-timed action and tenacious protagonist make for page-turning thrills, and a lovely romance tucked away within its pages will make readers' hearts flutter. However, the underlying theme of young women building reliable, strategic alliances in addition to friendships while living in patriarchal kingdoms is equally important... Lapite's debut is a strong addition to the genre and a fine introduction to an enchanting world that is worth exploring. A punchy story radiating zeal and filled with suspense. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
Teeming with betrayal, secrets, and power struggles, Lapite's debut will have readers on the edge of their seats ... Kalothia's determined spirit rings true, and her uphill battle will endear her to readers ... Readers looking for an inviting fantasy or who want a grounded experience will love Kalothia and root for her through her plight. * Booklist *
Opulence, beauty, and danger - Goddess Crown sweeps readers into a sumptuous new world that they won't soon forget and introduces an unstoppable heroine in Kalothia. A magnificent and triumphant debut. * Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times best-selling author and chief operating officer of We Need Diverse Books *
Goddess Crown is a fast paced, action filled, feminist novel. The main female character is strong willed and assertive in what she wants. She does all she can for the people in the kingdom, and getting equal rights for the women of her land. It's easy to read, I finished it in 2 days, as I could not put it down. If there is a sequel coming out, I am eager to read it as well. * NetGalley Reviewer *
An extremely fast paced feminist story that really packs up a punch. * NetGalley Reviewer *
