The story follows Enya and her band trying to escape The Crimson Witch while also working on her plan on finding the artifacts needed to put the witch where she belongs once and for all.

I loved the multi-pov we get, I've enjoyed the fact that besides Enya's pov we get many more and you can see each character how they deal with their feelings and their fears. The growth of Enya is definitely palpable in the book, and I loved the new shift in the relationships I do feel she's had more chemistry with the Prince than with Carson.
I like that each character drives the story one way or the other but the book doesn't focus too much on each character, you get enough of each character to make your own opinion about them and get a bit attached to them.

Is definitely interesting. I loved the research the author did in the book about the Romanian words and some of our Romanian dishes, It legit made me giggle because it made me miss eating them lol. And their world was definitely divided between humans, creatures, and the rich the battle of survival in the book is definitely a big focus and very crucial - each one of them tries to live another day by any possible means. I loved that feeling of doom that lingered in each corner and how hopeless it made me feel.

The magic system is pretty complex because you have so many elements and so many creatures that have powers. In general, the characters that the story focuses on, you get to know about their powers, and the information provided doesn't feel like an info dump which I liked.

I loved the Romanian details, I felt they added that tiny bit of difference in the story and the fact the author took the time to research these things and make them accurate was definitely lovely - I haven't read any books by now that had any Romanian elements. The book felt for me fast pace, quick, and easy to read, and even if the book is told more instead of showing I enjoyed the story development. However, I did wish for the battle scenes to feel a bit more impactful, they were a bit gory - not extremely but I felt they lacked that wow fact that would make you shudder. The book might have some trigger warnings such as blood, killing, injuries, and abuse - as usual, I'm not a person that gets triggered easily but some people might not feel comfortable with these type of scenes.

The book doesn't contain any spice. The romance is a very slow-burn romance between Enya and the Prince and their relationship hasn't gone further than a kiss and some cuddly moments.

I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.The Crimson Witch is book 2 of The Royal Thieves trilogy, a YA fantasy series by Ashley Olivier. Upon receiving this ARC, I read book 1 (The Raven Thief) so I wouldn't be completely lost. This is not a review of the first book, however I will reference it some.
Enya is a teenage rebel leader, fighting against a corrupt king. She is working with the 3 presumed-dead princes to find a mythical sword along with 3 other magical objects to stop the demon Crimson Witch, thus saving the princes lives.
I'm glad I read The Raven Thief first, otherwise I would've been utterly lost, however even with context, the story is hard to get through. The action starts within the first chapter of book 1, with the stakes being very high, but we know hardly anything about the characters or their world. The story arc continues to go up, up, up with the stakes getting higher. First it was Enya and her right hand man escaping hanging, then saving the princes, then saving the world? With a lack of development though, all of this felt forced. Book 2 sees familiar faces from book 1, that are very close to our MC, but we still know nothing about them. It was hard to be invested in their emerging storylines because again, it just felt forced. I also wasn't convinced of the likelihood that Enya could be the leader of an elite rebel gang consisting of more teenagers. Especially with the naïveté she displays throughout this book.
Eventually I did come to enjoy the budding romance once Enya decided on which of her suitors she was interested in, and there was some heel-turn intrigue. There are some great things set up for the next book.
The scattered nature of my review is a reflection of how confused I felt reading the series. I wanted very badly to like this book, it checks several of my boxes, however it just was not for me. It may be more enjoyed by a younger audience.

Picking up where book two left off, you are thrust right back into the action from page one. There are twists, turns, heartache and love screaming off the pages. At times, while great elements, they seemed a little disjointed which is why this is only a 4 star for me. But I've debated between 4 and 4.5 stars. I just wanted a little more cohesion at times.

Thank you Ashley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.Picking up where book two left off, you are thrust right back into the action from page one. There are twists, turns, heartache and love screaming off the pages. At times, while great elements, they seemed a little disjointed which is why this is only a 4 star for me. But I've debated between 4 and 4.5 stars. I just wanted a little more cohesion at times. It felt like it was go, go, go and the jumping between so many points of view was jarring at times. While it was important, so that you got the full picture, it was just a bit disorienting.
I definitely loved the world, the enemies to lovers, the betrayal, the heartbreak and the growth of the characters. Enya is wildly smart and cunning, so watching the develop more was great! I loved the transformations Rowan and Carson took as well. All around, a decent second book! I'm excited to see what book 3 holds.

Book two just upped the greatness of this series. I thought book one was great, but this one blew me away. The Crimson Witch is more relatable than what I expected. She is seeking revenge for being imprisoned, and who can blame her? I know she is the villain, but I couldn't help but feel sorry
Enya is a teenage rebellion leader, seeking to free three princes and defeat the Crimson Witch, all while trying to take down a corrupt king. Is it too much to handle and will she ever get the princes free?Book two just upped the greatness of this series. I thought book one was great, but this one blew me away. The Crimson Witch is more relatable than what I expected. She is seeking revenge for being imprisoned, and who can blame her? I know she is the villain, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her and kind of wish she would get a little revenge. Enya is a great FMC and can hold her own against anyone she comes up against. She has so much going on and it's exhausting just reading about everything she's dealing with at once.
You have to read The Raven's Thief first, otherwise you will be completely lost. This book continues from book one, and we start with high action.

Enya needs to find the sword to defeat the Crimson Witch and we travel all over to find it. Secrets are revealed, questions lurk around every corner, betrayals and so much more. The Princes father wants h Crimson Witch is Raven Thiefs sequel and wow. I thought book 1 was fast paced. This book sets off exactly where book 1 ended and you are off. Enya, Carson, three Princes and an odd assortment of Fae, undead and others are on a mission to defeat the Crimson witch. Are they all on the same side??
Enya needs to find the sword to defeat the Crimson Witch and we travel all over to find it. Secrets are revealed, questions lurk around every corner, betrayals and so much more. The Princes father wants his sons back, the Fae courts want the Witch defeated for good and Enya wants to save her friends.
Add this series to your TBR if you love underdogs, magic, fae, found family , adventure and a handsome prince! Who gets what they want? I have some theories but can't wait to see in Book 3 what I got right or wrong!!

This book picks up right where book one left off. It was a lot darker which is to be expected since it is centering around the Crimson Witch. Stocked full of brutality, betrayal, and battle combined with survival, magic, and love interests there is not much to dislike about this book.

There should be a trigger warning for implied non-con.

After I got into the book I enjoyed it.
Twists turns and excitement.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did
We start off where we left, Enya is in big trouble and have to find a way to get herself and her companions out of it without any looses. What she doesn't expect is that betrayal can come from your closest fiends and that she may have a traitor closer than what she may like.
