'Not entirely sure what to put here, but let's go anyway.

What I thought of The Crown And The Flame: (Book1)

(Contains spoilers) (..duh..)

I first thought it was boring. Kenna seemed like a perfect little princess who had everything, including some default link who was head over heels for her. It was the first book I played and I didnt really expected much. The thing that made me interested in Kenna's story was the moment (this is gonna sound bad) that her story almost ended. When she lost her mother, her kingdom, her home, her friends; All of it. The moment she sworn she'd retake what was rightfully hers with Gabriel by her side, looking at her former home.. There was something about it. Incredible inspiring.

Overal Opinion:Okay book. Nice. Nice book. (doesnt want to oversell it)

Things TCATF did right: 1. Style. They created a unqiue fashionstyle. You can guess from which kingdom which person is, by just looking at their clothing. 2. Maps. Maps are something i've always found very complicated while crafting stories myself, so hats off to them for doing it right and believeble. (Even though they do kinda mess it up in the royal heir..)

3. Gender. This one is a little twisted. You're not able to pick your own gender, but you can still play as a boy or a girl. Or a woman or man as the story finishes. Though you mostly play as Kenna.

4. Believeble villians. Not just disney villians who are evil because they are evil. There are some good explained villians in this book.

5. LIs with personality. There all very different from each other.

6. Not only action. There wasn't only bloodshed and battles in this book. There were other moments as well. There's romance, happiness. But also loss, grief, anger, hatred, fear get plenty of attention troughout this book. I know, most books got too much of romance, but as a new player I was a little ..well scared to play it because i wasnt really that comfy around blood and battles and war.

7. You don't need to spend 220 diamonds to win the wars. One of Choices main flaws these days is that there arent much choices to make at all. if you want good stuff, solve mysteries or impress love interests or villians you need to break the bank. And this is something that is getting worse. If you play your cards right or wrong this will effect the story, gameplay and other elements in this book. One of the things that I love about it.

8. Power&Prestige system.
