Publisher's Summary:
The gorgeous and darkly compelling sequel to The Crown's Game - perfect for fans of Red Queen and Shadow and Bone.
Magic is growing, shadows are rising, and the throne is at stake...
Russia is on the brink of great change. Pasha's coronation approaches, and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter, but the role she once coveted may be more difficult - and dangerous - than she ever expected.
Pasha is grappling with his own problems - his legitimacy is in doubt, the girl he loves loathes him, and he believes his best friend is dead. When a challenger to the throne emerges - and with the magic in Russia growing rapidly - Pasha must do whatever it takes to keep his position and protect his kingdom.
For Nikolai, the ending of The Crown's Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death, Nikolai remains alone, a shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own creation. But when he's given a second chance at life - tied to a dark price - Nikolai must decide just how far he's willing to go to return to the world.
With revolution on the rise, dangerous new magic rearing up, and a tsardom up for the taking, Vika, Nikolai, and Pasha must fight - or face the destruction of not only their world but also themselves.

not a fan
The Crown's Game and the second is The Crown's Fate. I thought it would get better but her characters are bi-polar and the plot is so forced. shallow character development. Was wanting it to just end.
Good, but...
[SPOILER] I hated that my favorite character turned dark and unrecognizable until the every end.
A Fate Fit For Czar
Talk about action, decide, devotion and a death. This book really had all you, as a young adult or older, could desire in a great tale. Well written , as most fables are, this story takes you on a journey to a culture rich in history and magic. Truly recommend this for any patient reader, for it takes a while to get into, but rewards in the end.
A lot more political than the first
** Warning: This review DOES contain spoilers for the book! I will be talking about specifics! **
THE CROWNS GAME was one of my favorite reads of 2016 and I absolutely loved how much it reminded me of THE NIGHT CIRCUS in so many ways (which I actually just finished re-reading and it cemented this feeling even more)! Naturally, I was very excited to read THE CROWNS FATE and it was one of my most anticipated reads of 2017! Its always so hard when I have an most-anticipate read coming up because I tend to hype the book up for myself so it was an interesting experience reading THE CROWNS FATE!
Theres no way I can talk about this book without specific spoilers, so first Ill talk about some non-spoilery things! I loved that this world felt the same! There are some times with sequels that it feels like a totally different book but I was able to fall back into this world right where I left off.
The world where we left it after THE CROWNS GAME was much more political and while I dont mind that, I did miss some of that fun and a challenge aspect of THE CROWNS GAME itself (the game, not the book) because it was a fun structure and involved some creativity on the characters parts to explore their abilities.
And I still love Pasha. He was very different in this book because of all the political ramifications and situations that he had to deal with so he just wasnt as much fun but I still loved his spirit.
Okay, so here are the spoilers.
