I loved the premise of this story and the idea of it. However, it really just didn't have that world-building and excitement to keep me wanting to read it. It was really lacking in the character development and I just didn't feel attached to this story. But again, I loved the idea of this book.

I received a free arc from netgalley in return for an honest review.

So. I don’t think this book was altogether bad, I’d say it’s 2.5 stars for me, but I couldn’t really get into it.

The world building was intriguing enough but I felt like the characters were a bit flat and stereotypical for my taste. I did like Klara well enough, I just felt like some of the side characters (in particular the queens in the beginning) were a bit overboard with the caricature of evil. I would absolutely pick up another novel by the author to follow her development though!

Absolutely captivating but I was left wanting more! 

This was a brilliant example of dark fantasy intertwined with traditional lore but I feel like it was a little rushed and would benefit from being fleshed out into a duology. 

It's very fast paced and characters are engaging with witty dialogue but I was left feeling that overall not much really happened in the book in terms of events.

Captured me from the beginning chapter and loved the development of the character. I loved the writing style and the book was very descriptive and was such a quick paced book.

This was such a fun read and unlike anything I have read before. This book was a perfect blend of all the things we love within fantasy blended into one huge adventure. I really enjoyed the inclusion of so many different creatures and the blend of the modern day and fae world. The characters were likeable the story moved very fast. Aall in all this was just a really fun read to spend a day or two in a crazy, wonderful world of adventure

Thank you netgalley and the author for this book, it was not what i was expecting and I was a bit disappointed by it...

Crowned A Traitor had a great premise, and I was extremely excited to get stuck in. 
Sadly for me, the beginning of the book was a little slow paced and it did take me a while to get into the book. 
Once I did, it did improve. 
The story itself was an interesting one, and I really do enjoy any type of Fairy tale type book. Especially when they're made darker. 

I would definitely consider picking up the second book, as this one, although not my favourite, was still a decent enough read. 

Thank you to NetGalley for my copy to review.

I couldn't finish this book. There was a lot happening and the world building was weak but because of the amount of information being thrown around I couldn't get into it.

It sounded so good and i was intruiged by the blurb. But i was just bored and uintressed throughout the book. It wasn`t anything that caught me and wanted me to continue.

I really enjoyed the layer of world building, though at times it was a bit much, as well as Klara's personality and character arc. While the end felt a little rushed, I loved how the author pulled off the plot twists. There were a few things I was left wondering about at the end and hope to see in future novels.

Wow, what a fantastic story! I love reading fairytales and retellings, but it doesn’t always work. With this book, it really does though! Kate Callaghan has managed to write a book, where everything is so well described that you feel like you’re right there with Klara.

Another thing I really like is Klara. She’s cool and totally kick ass, but she’s not perfect. She’s just like the rest of us with fears and doubts. The only difference is that she’s the Heir to Hell!

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity. 
A dark and grisly take on the classic fairytale and fantasy worlds. The writing is sharp and slick, making for a quick read. The characters and the world building is interesting and fascinating. This book is not for the fainthearted though with lots of action and drama throughout. 
A good read.

This book was definitely an entertaining read, but the pacing was just a tad too off for me. The ending also left something to be desired BUT that's okay because that just means I'll continue reading. Can't wait to see where this goes!

I loved this book, though the ending fell a bit flat.

Reading this book was refreshing, the beginning new and magical but then it began to become predictable and I struggled to keep reading.

Somewhere past the middle I began enjoying the book again, the characters came to life and it was intriguing.

Though the ending seems like a clear set up to a series, it did lack something because as a reader I have too many questions still.

I would've wished more of the feelings could have been explored before the ending too

Crowned A Traitor had me captivated from the start. The story and the world building was just so compelling to me and I found the characters very interesting. I also thought the writing was really good.

With that said it did have a few flaws like the pacing felt a bit off in some places ; and a couple other small things hence the 4 stars instead of 5, but I still enjoyed it all the same.

Overall an excellent read that I highly recommend and i'll for sure be checking out more of Kate Callaghan's work in the future.

This book was really good. I loved the description and was not disappointed by this story at all. This book opens with Klara, Lucifers daughter and Heir to Hell working in a tavern in the Dark Forest of Malum. Why is she working? To get money to escape to Kalos, Fae lands free of Dark Magic. I loved going on this journey with her and al, the twists and turns and characters were truly a joy to read about. I can't wait for the next book.

The characters, world, and plot were all very good in this book. I love any book centered around Hell because it’s always interesting to see how an author will portray it in the story. I enjoyed the whole book and the only reason it isn’t a four stars for me is because I felt the ending was a little lack luster. I will definitely be continuing on though!

A guilty pleasure and a fun, quick read, this book has something for everyone who likes dark, urban fantasies. I believe this is the author's first book, but she shows real talent and promise and I will likely read her books that will be next in the series.

It was an okay book I think I read it at the wrong time... I wasn't truly invested in it.. maybe ill reread it later on.

This book was okay. It was not the best read I have had, but it was not the worst. I enjoyed this book for what it was. I did however find the book started strong and ended with  an okay and not as exciting ending.
