Faced with assassins, court politics, and the threat of civil war, Elisa despairs of being the ruler her people need. Her only hope is the Godstone. She must master its power once and for all. She finds clues hidden in a long forgotten--and forbidden--scripture. Accompanied by a one-eyed warrior, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa takes a leap of faith and crosses an ocean in search of the ultimate source of the Godstone's power. But her faith has always had a price, and doing the right thing might mean giving up the power she desperately needs. And it might mean giving up the man she desperately loves. Rae Carson continues the epic story begun in The Girl of Fire and Thorns with a novel that is remarkable, adventurous, and even more romantic than the first"--

Add a CommentI devoured this book, and am thrilled with the character development and plot line. I am amazed and excited for this writer and the continuation of this series as the layers of the world feel real, and the character attributes rely on oneself and growth. Can't wait for the third book!
This is really just a story of how a young women travels to find strength only to realize she had access to it all along, if only she had looked for it, if only she had believed in herself. It is also, of course, about love. And the author takes a simple story line and does it beautifully - to the point where I can't wait for the next damn installment.
I really hate Elisa, so it's kinda hard to like the book at all. She acts like she's humble but she is soooo full of herself. She's really holier-than-thou (which I guess with the Godstone she is). It's really, really annoying and the book was hard to get through because of that.
my only complaint is that people keep falling in love with her. it's kinda annoying. and then she's so surprised with it! *sigh* i get it. i do. but seriously...
Why do I love these books so much? First, Carson has built a complex and believable world. But more than that, Carson has created a heroine who is a real person. Elisa is a smart and capable heroine struggling to find her self-confidence. She does not depend on a dashing and handsome man to rescue her. She figures out how to solve problems and regularly demonstrates real-life competence. My full review of this book is available here: http://writingboutreading.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/the-crown-of-embers-by-rae-carson/
this is an awesome series.....can't wait until the next book.............hope it is soon!
