Blurb:
Russia is on the brink of great change. Pasha’s coronation approaches, and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter, but the role she once coveted may be more difficult—and dangerous—than she ever expected.
Pasha is grappling with his own problems—his legitimacy is in doubt, the girl he loves loathes him, and he believes his best friend is dead. When a challenger to the throne emerges—and with the magic in Russia growing rapidly—Pasha must do whatever it takes to keep his position and protect his kingdom.
For Nikolai, the ending of the Crown’s Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death, Nikolai remains alone, a shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own creation. But when he’s given a second chance at life—tied to a dark price—Nikolai must decide just how far he’s willing to go to return to the world.
With revolution on the rise, dangerous new magic rearing up, and a tsardom up for the taking, Vika, Nikolai, and Pasha must fight—or face the destruction of not only their world but also themselves.

My thoughts:
So this book in my opinion should have never been written. I enjoyed the first book but the second not so much. I truly believe that the author could have left the last one the way it was. that all being said i did read this book well part of it.The first time i got a couple chapters in and i just could not continue. So i left it alone for a while and then i tried again to pick up where i left off. That did not work either. my brother had read the first one, so i passed the book off to him and see if it was just me being weird. my brother got farther then i did but then he lost interest to. he said that it was to slow and he could no finish this book. I don't think that i will try to pick this book up again. i just fet that this book was lacking. the author should have left book one alone and had everyone use their imagination on how they wanted to go. some books just don't need a sequales.
