The trouble I frequently run into with getting into a series of books – especially an ongoing one – is when there is a wait between books. I read the first book of Victoria Aveyard’s “Red Queen” series and loved it. I was quite excited to find the second one get released around the day I finished the first one. I read that book within a couple days. That was when I was put in the awful position of having to wait for the next installment.
To ease my wait I decided to read the novella that was released the first two to tide fans over during their wait. The fact that the third book is now out and I still have not gotten through the first half “Cruel Crown” probably tells you all you need to know about how much I am enjoying it. It currently resides in the trunk of my car.
