Cruel Crown contains the two novellas Queen Song and Steel Scars. In Queen Song we meet Coriane, Cal's mother. We learn her story and and her tragic ending. In Steel Scars we follow Farley and her life in the Scarlet Guard, and we get to learn about the first time she met Shade.
I think this is a good accompaniment to the series and I enjoyed both stories, however I thing a lot of Queen Song was already known, or could be guessed by reading the books in the series.
I especially enjoyed reading some more about Shade before he "died". I really like him as a character and it was good to learn some more about him in the earlier days of his involvement in the Scarlet Guard.
It was obvious Elara was trying to worm her way to the top from the very beginning. She knew exactly what she was up to and would do anything to get where she wanted to be. I never really liked her anyway.
This is good to read if you liked the series.
Overall rating
