Review: Crown Of Draga (The Draga Court Series Book 2) by Emma Dean

Crown Of Draga by Emma Dean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

War Comes Closer

I love when I’m right about a series. I was sure that this series had great potential from the first book, and this second book confirms that I was correct in my prediction. With this book the plot becomes much more complex and the characters really seem to speak with vibrancy and depth. As we get to know the characters the changes in the POV seem less jarring. We want to know what happens next with each character.

Adeline is coming to terms with her differences to the rest of her Royal family. Nadyah’s support and friendship help her as she comes into her own as she officially becomes an adult woman. Her status changes in this book and she tries to get others to see her as a competent adult capable of much more than previously thought.

As Adeline changes her behaviour she butts heads with her older sister Raena, the Heir to the throne who has all but taken over as ruler because of their father’s ill health. Adeline is determined to be of service to her people and give Raena good advice, but getting that advice to be heard is often difficult.

With all the changes going on in the Palace it is easy for most to ignore the rumours of disappearing space ships coming from the Outer Rim. Adeline along with new friends and allies know something is coming and try to plan for it as best they can.

Once again this book is filled with great plot and world building. We learn more about the history of their Society and their genetics, and how those genetics affect their relationships with each other.

With the coming of war there is impetuous for romances to speed up, and attractions to be acted on. This book is filled with romances of different levels and intensity which adds heat to the book that wasn’t as significant in the first book.

All round another very enjoyable read.
