The Starless Crown

The Starless Crown has some amazing world building in it. James Rollins really does go out of his way to make the world feel alive.

Nyx who was abandoned as a baby in the swamps quickly finds out the world she knew is drastically different. With the help of a forshaken prince, Kanthe and her childhood friend Jace she must dodge the King's forces as they seek to understand the visions she been having and what Moon Fall really is.

The story starts out slow estblashing the world and by the middle the pace really begins to pick up, as all of the POV characters converge upon eachother.

While I enjoyed many of the characters, Nyx mostly many others felt a little weak in terms of writing. However as mentioned earlier the world building is excellent and makes up for this flaw.

The other thing I had some issues with was the random times the author seemed a little fixated on the nakedness of a woman's body. It didn't ruin the book or anything just felt really unnecessary for the over all book.

I plan on picking up book 2 and look forward to reading it. I give this a 7/10 over all.
