Cover Review:
To be honest, I don't like the cover at all. Though the story behind it is pretty good, so I guess it's okay.
Book Review:
The Matter Of The Crown was so full of twists, revelations and even more twists that it left me confused at times! I couldn't read it in one sitting, because well life. Though whenever I wasn't reading or sleeping, my mind would go back to the book and I'd be wondering about the whys and the whos.
I'm trying really hard to keep this review spoiler free, it's such a difficult task!
Who stole the crown was pretty easy to guess right from the moment it got stolen, yet there were many other mysteries that needed to be solved. And that's what kept me hooked. (I'd tell you more but it'd be a major spoiler, so sorry can't do!)
A mere glittering hoard serves no Godly purpose and thus would only blind those who do no more than see it sparkle.
At times, I had to skip a few pages, a chapter even because of too much description! I'm not a history lover. I mean, I enjoy reading about places and history but I don't want chapters of that stuff! Especially not in a mystery novel!
Other than that though, it was a pretty good read and I'm glad I got to read this book.
