The Crimson Throne by
Sara Raasch
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
Alyth has been tasked with watching over Queen Mary. Specifically, her husband, Lord Darnley, and his
magical attempts to cause her harm. Alyth
is half fae and is sworn to keep the Red Caps out of Scotland. Samson wants to lock in his position in the
English court and is sent to Scotland as a spy.
Alyth and Samson must navigate the tumultuous Scottish court and stay
one step ahead of Lord Darnley. What
secrets will they uncover in their search?
The Crimson Throne is the first book
in the Spy and Guardian series. This historical fantasy transports readers to
the time of Mary Queen of Scots and puts a fae spin on everything. Raasch and Revis don’t spend much time going
into the lives and history of the historical characters, but readers with a basic
understanding of the Elizabethan era should have no issues following
along. The ending of this book was
satisfying and complete, with the note at the end saying the next book will be
another story that may not be a direct sequel.
A fun read for fans of this time period or genre.
