This is a fast-paced action fantasy about two thieves, Royce and Hadrian, who get caught up in a conspiracy to supplant the king, and end up trying to save the prince.
This is a book were the complete package outshines all the individual elements. The plot is decent, but pretty straightforward. The characters are nice, but are not incredibly deep. Some of them go through sufficient development, others don't. The worldbuilding is adequate, but not very inventive or exotic. The magic plays a small, supporting role without being spectacular. The pace is not fast, not slow. The language is pretty good and clear, but not evocative nor flowing.
But like a hearty stew from solid, though unspectacular ingredients, the final result is satisfying, filling and makes you yearn for a second serving.
The concept of an uncomplicated, action-filled tale that is not heavy on the standard epic fantasy ingredients and which offers a beginning, middle and ending in one book is something that can satisfy a lot of fantasy readers. For those readers, The Crown Conspiracy at its current price ($ 4.99) is a good buy

I don't normally read historical fantasy - it's not one of my favourite genres at all, but this book has just proved me wrong!
Thieves, Royce and Hadrian, unwittingly end up in a conspiracy to overthrow the King. Only their skills can prevent the death of Prince Alric and restore the kingdom to order.
This was a magical tale of wizards, historical settings, evil villains, and edge-of-your-seat adventure. There's just enough historical fantasy description to transport you back in time, but not too much to bore the non-fantasy reader.
I was hooked from page one and can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Flat story, just not very interesting
I was lent this by a friend and i couldn't get more than 100 pages into it. It's just so flat. None of the characters or the world seems real, everything is flat, the descriptions... Read more
