This is my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it ! The writing was atmospheric and beautiful and I was drawn in for almost the whole story ! I had a smidge of a hard time settling into the world and the writing but once I was drawn in I was there to stay !

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.Wow, this book was not what I expected, in a good way! This book has brought new meaning to YA fantasy and broken out of the traditional tropes we see regularly.Initially, I found it difficult to follow the story as within the first few chapters, years were passed. However, after the last time skip, the story settles into itself and then begins to develop deeper. The writing is good although a bit staid and childish a times but it does not detract from the story. The characters are interesting and engaging, particularly the MC. The pace is slow initialy but then picks up rapidly towards the end. I would have preferred more detail on events of the final chapter as things felt tied up a tad too quickly. I'm not sure if the author is planning another novel for this world.On the whole, a great read.

Before I begin my review for Crown of Crowns by Clara Loveman I would like to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in return for an honest opinion.


A mesmeric mix of YA Science Fiction, fantasy and a touch of romance, Crown of Crowns by Clara Loveman is an unimaginably unique experience.


Crown of Crowns features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
○ Personal Sacrifices
○ Higher Powers/Beings
○ Love triangle
○ Secrets and lies
○ Family rivalry
○ Royalty
○ Elected rulers
○ Poverty
○ Monarchy
○ Hidden agendas

My overall rating for Crown of Crowns is…

3 stars!

I personally had some difficulty connecting with the protagonist and her love interests, but the storyline and unique mixture of genres were enough to compensate for this and I ended up thoroughly enjoying the book!

This was a great story of freedom!! Where one girl fights to free her people. I could not put it down and I loved the flow and the story. I can not wait for another title from this author!!

Crown of Crowns is truly unlike any other book I have read.

While the usual forbidden love trope is involved, Clara Loveman changes this trope in a way that truly leaves you speechless. Right when you think you have the story figured out, BAM! there goes a plot twist.

The story revolves around Kaelyn, a 15 year old sheltered princess who rarely knows anything of her kingdom. Since page one, we are introduced to Roki, a young, handsome guy who isn't supposed to be with someone like her. Despite her parent's disapproval, Kaelyn sneaks with Roki and explores her kingdom more. Suddenly, her mom dies, and given their last argument was about Roki and her mother's disapproval, she pushes Roki away, leaving him angry and confused. As Kaelyn struggles to move on and marries another man, when her kingdom is threatened by a secret rebel organization, and Roki's entrance into her life... Kaelyn begins to doubt what is true and what isn't, slowly forming into more of a formidable queen. The romance is light in this book, considering that the beginning seemed to imply more, but it was an interesting tale with the fantasy elements, the fancy tech, and characters that really stick with you. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.

“”The Crown of Crowns has known all along”, he finished. “You and I are destined to be a team.””

Synopsis: This story is set in a society of monarchs and noble, where there is a small portion of them and a large mass of poor commoners. They follow by a certain code and rules — robots do all the tasks and protecting, rations are given out monthly since food markets are banned, and no one can experience pregnancy. Kaelyn is a progressive young noble-esque who believes that society should be changed.

Review: I absolutely loved how, even at 15, Kaelyn knew that certain rules should be questioned and society should be progressive. Even when she grew up years later, she still stuck to her morals and beliefs about what a society should act and be like. Kaelyn isn’t a rebel or a delinquent, but rather believes that there should be change. She believes that commoners should be able to hold higher positions, and women should be able to experience pregnancy instead of test tube lab babies. Throughout the story, I could see more and more of how justice oriented Kaelyn was, especially near the end. There were some moments where I thought I knew what was happening, and then the author took me to a completely different outcome. There wasn’t as much physical romance as I would have liked, but enough to keep me engaged throughout the book. There was a hint of forbidden romance, and the amount of discrepancies between the three of them had my jaw dropped multiple times throughout the story. The romance wasn’t steamy, but the emotional aspect was all I needed to keep going.

WARNING: This review contains spoilers.

“Crown Of Crowns” is a young adult fantasy book that follows the main character Kaelyn, a noblewoman who could potentially become a leader of Geniverd Kingdom, and Roki, a citizen of the kingdom.

Kaelyn feels restricted due to Decens-Lenitas, which is the code of the kingdom, and her family puts added pressure on her to follow these rules, marry a suitor of their choice, and work towards becoming a leader of Geniverd. She wants to escape from those restrictions and meets a citizen named Roki. One night, after she spends time with Roki, she gets the news that her mother has suddenly passed away. The last conversation that Kaelyn had with her mother was an argument about Roki, where her mother said that she disapproved of him and would prefer that Kaelyn dated someone like them who shared the same morals. Kaelyn begins to feel guilty for prioritizing her relationship with Roki over her family, and ignores him when he tries to check on her, which leads to Roki ignoring her in return after awhile. Kaelyn’s loved ones make her reminisce on the good times she had with Roki before her mom passed, and make her realize how much she still loves and misses him. Despite that, she gets engaged to another man and tries to focus on that and on trying to become Queen, until Roki surprises Kaelyn with a visit. After catching up, Roki tells her more information about the history of the kingdom, and this continues even after Kaelyn gets married and becomes the Queen, but she is quickly told that Roki is not to be trusted, and tells him to stay out of her life. A virus plagues Geniverd, and at the same time, Kaelyn begins questioning everything she knew, while also trying to save those who live in her kingdom, and Roki comes back to help her along the way.

I was a little bit confused at times while reading this, but aside from that, I enjoyed the book. I thought the plot was pretty interesting, and the various twists and turns and surprised visits from Roki added onto that. I also really liked the relationship between Roki and Kaelyn, especially at the very beginning and end of the book. Overall, I thought this was a pretty good read, and if you’re a fan of fantasy and are looking for a little bit of romance, I would definitely recommend giving this book a chance.

I'm going to be honest: this book only comes into itself in the second half. Upon reading the description, one will first think this is just another princess and peasant forbidden love story. Let me tell you it is not. It becomes much more complicated, subverts every expectation, and will often bewilder you. There are elements that make Crown of Crowns so unique and strange to the point of being thrilling, but sadly they aren't introduced until very far in, making them come somewhat out of the left field. It starts when the main character, Kaelyn, is only fifteen, but by the time you reach chapter three she's nineteen. While that is strange, the things that happened in the first three chapters are too important to skip. Speaking of Kaelyn, she makes an interesting main character. Starting off as a young teen it makes sense that she's annoying at first, but she grows and matures (even if she still censors herself by saying "freaking"). She lives in the world, naive of what's going on despite being a member of the ruling gentry, and the adventure she goes on sees her learning about the problems going on in her world and deciding to fix them because although she's petty, jealous, and otherwise flawed, she is a girl full of love. The world-building is done through her eyes, making the fact that even she has much to learn about it a great choice, as we learn along with her. By the end, you're not noticing the pages turning as she rushes to avert disaster, and all of the little pieces you never noticed before fall into place with twists and turns galore.

Yes! I was so excited to receive this book based on the synopsis and that cover is beautiful! Overall, the story and plot was great. Characters are diverse. However the world building could have been a touch better since the plot was so complexed with all unraveling.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

In the beginning i wasn't so sure i was going to like this book to be honest...the main reason was the abrupt way you're thrown into things,like you're hit with a pan on the head and told "that's the way things are,deal with it".
I mean, before you have a chance to know where you are,what the main characters are like, we already have the strong romance given to us and it's little hard that way to connect emotionally and build some foundation through their previous history .
The world bulding and the atmosphere were made beautifully and although i disliked Kaelyn for her naivety and a little petulant behavior,she got a huge growth of character and gradually start to develop into a character you like a lot.
The mix of YA, sci-fi fantasy and romance is a breath of fresh air and when you add unpredicted twist and turns in the mix,it's a combination resulting in a really good read.

Crown of Crowns is a sweeping epic futuristic YA novel that is so engrossing. The plot is well paced and so well written and the characters feel so real. A great read,

First of all, I just want to say thank you to the publisher for providing me with this ARC copy.
I really liked this book. This is the first Ya book I’m reading in a very long time so I am really happy are got to read it. The book's plot was really unique. It mixes YA, Romance, Sci-fi and fantasy and produced a really entertaining read. Crown of Crowns is very different from other YA books out there.
When I just started reading the book I disliked Katelyn a bit. I felt she was a bit too naive but after some chapters, I got to see her grow and develop to a character that I really liked. The author was able to build a world that was easy to fall in love with. I loved the plot twist in the book a lot. The only thing I disliked about the book was how fast the romance moved. It happened too quickly for me but it was still believable and real so it was not a turn off for me. It was a really great read. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Ya romance or Ya fantasy books. Thumbs up to the author.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Crown of Crowns in exchange for an honest review.

First off, the book's plot was wonderfully unique. Crown of Crowns mixes sci-fi, fantasy, tropes from historical fiction, and it's unique mythos system all together and I loved the world it created. The story was engaging and while it definitely had hallmarks of a lot of YA genres and YA books in general, it's not quite comparable to any other book I've ever read (and when you read as much YA as I do, that's always a plus).

My one issue was the way the plot was revealed. A lot of world building is done in these huge blocks of dialogue instead of casually incorporating it or putting it into narration and it ended up revealing one of the bigger plot twists long before I think the narrative wanted it to be revealed. Planting the seeds for twists is wonderful, but having your protagonist go into a long winded story in the second chapter that has even the person she's talking to go "uhhh why did you just tell me that?" (I'm paraphrasing. He was far more charming about it than I am) isn't planting seeds, it's plopping a fully grown, thousand year old tree right in the middle of an apartment. With a low ceiling.
