Summary
A fierce gladiator queen must face off against her enemies in an epic battle in this next thrilling installment of New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series - an action-packed adventure full of magic, murderous machinations, courtly intrigue, and pulse-pounding romance.
Queen Everleigh Blair of Bellona has survived the mass murder of the royal family, become a fearsome warrior trained by an elite gladiator troupe, and unleashed her ability to destroy magic. After surviving yet another assassination attempt orchestrated by the conniving king of Morta, Evie has had enough. It’s time to turn the tables and take the fight to her enemies.
There is no better opportunity to strike than during the Regalia Games, a time when warriors, nobles, and royals from all the kingdoms come together to compete in various sporting events. With the help of her loyal friends, Evie goes on the attack at the Regalia, but things don’t turn out the way she hopes. Soon, she is facing a terrifying new threat, and she will have to dig deep and learn even more about her growing magic if she has any chance of defeating her foes.
Because to secure her throne and ensure her kingdom’s survival, Evie must think like a true Bellonan: She must outsmart and outwit her enemies...and crush the king.

I Survived!
It is face down time and the Regalia is just the place to hold it. Evie has lived and breathed for this moment when she can finally enact retribution for the death of her family against the King of Morta, Maximus and his bastard sister, Maeven.
Evie is not the only who who triumphs. Paloma finally makes peace with who she is and triumphs.
I loved this trilogy, apart from some of the repetitiveness. It was a good ending, although I think the door has been left open for a follow on as there were too many loose ends. Also, it is more suited to YA as I seemed to be two steps ahead of the plot line all along, but that did not spoil my enjoyment of the book.

A bit gruesome and repetitive - worth it for fans of the series
This series is quite free with the brutal violence, but this book was particularly so. A little stomach churning in places. Could also have done with a stronger edit, at times the story is told using almost the exact phrasing as earlier passages which feels strange. The plot, however, is less predictable than the last book and and has a good twist at the end. There isn’t a great deal of character development and some previous key character e.g Sully are very much relegated to the sidelines. Overall better plot, but less engaging.
