Paste Magazine Pick for Best New YA Books of August 2022

“An addictive, action-packed, scorcher of a read!” ―#1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël

Some shadows protect you…others will kill you in this dazzling new fantasy series from award-winning author Abigail Owen.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present.

Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake.

As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields―other faces, identities that threaten my very life.

Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.

The Dominions series is best enjoyed in order.

Entertaining, not compelling

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 3, 2022

The Liar’s Crown turns on a simple, yet somewhat ingenious, premise: that royal twins could open up the possibility of one sibling acting as the body double for the other. That’s the predicament that Meren finds herself in as the narrative opens. A secret Princess, and a stand-in for her sister when the future Queen’s safety is at risk - Meren is reluctantly accepting her fate - until a powerful foe kidnaps the wrong sister.

There’s a lot of aspects to this high fantasy romp to get caught up in. There’s an interesting elemental magic system that results in epic showdowns, lands and clans that hint at complex political movements, and steamy scenes that are not overly graphic. There’s also a lot of fantasy-adventure-romance tropes that could appeal to readers looking for their next fix: love triangle, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, and the like.

Overall, I found the book entertaining, but not compelling. Something about the characters, the worldbuilding, the use of language, and the descriptions - great for passing the time, but although I see the appeal of the book and soon, the series, there’s nothing that makes me want to read the follow-up.

Just what the doctor ordered

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

The Liar's Crown by Abigail Owen was just what I needed when I first came out of hospital and needed something to distract myself from my recovery. It has my favourite trope of enemies to lovers and I have to say I completely fell for Reven with his midnight hair and turquoise eyes, so it is no wonder Meren did too. Yes we all love a feisty female character that butts heads with the guy and puts him in his place constantly, but you know what that sounds like me in real life 😂, so I am more than happy to read a book where as soon as the girl sees the gorgeous guy who kidnaps her (with good intentions) she goes all gooey over him. After all this is fantasy romance. With an interesting world and clever magic system, this book was just what the doctor ordered

faultlessly entrancing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2022

“I might hear his deep, perfect voice in the shadows for the rest of my life after this is over.”
-Pg. 145

Good Goddess all mighty, this story was everything. The Liar’s Crown is so faultlessly entrancing. Once I started, I literally could not stop. I was so engrossed in Maren’s story and trying to unravel everything that comes at her. Plus, can we talk about how GORGEOUS this cover is? The artist team knocked it out of the park.

With Maren, our MC, I understand her so much through this. I love her wit, her strength, and her quirks that pop through at the most perfect moments. I loved that she balanced the line of trusting herself and her strength yet also still learning and growing. She overcomes so much throughout this story and I adored her.

“He stares at me a long beat, and I stare right back, not backing down an inch. Then, without warning, his gaze drops to my lips and flares with heat. ‘Big trouble,’ he mutters.”
-Pg. 246

On the other side, Reven… oh man oh mans. First off, that name is sexy and what whispers in the dark are made from. Dark hair, crystal turquoise eyes, strong and built, soft but strong heart, and just the most beautiful darkness, he is everything. His story line is another that drew me in so wickedly and I was completely engrossed.

With our side characters, I truly commend Abigail Owen for not only giving each a place but making them all enjoyable. Specifically Vos and Cain… oh yesssss. I love the sexy, comical tension these two males bring.

Overall, The Liar’s Crown was magnificently wonderful. I truly could not say more amazing things about it. There’s magic, adventure, angst, darkness, sexy moments, and everything in between. A thousand percent worth buying and reading. I absolutely cannot wait for The Stolen Throne to see where Maren, Reven, & co. travel to.

Special thank you to Entangled Teen for sending me a glorious, beautiful copy.

A wonderful start to an epic fantasy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2022

This book. Wow. Just wow. It needs more than 5 stars. This masterful tale hooks you in from the first word, grabs you by the throat and keeps you captive until the last syllable. Phew. This is the first book in a trilogy so be prepared for the resolution of some small story arcs but also for no resolution of the main story arc. Meren lives in squalor as a nobody but she is the secret identical twin of Tabra, the princess of Aryd. Meren’s purpose in life is to serve as a replacement for her sister in times of danger and there’s always danger for their family. Eidolon, the immortal king of Tyndra,, has been killing off Arydan queens for generations. Meren does have secret acts of disobedience that are just for her. Reven, the Shadowraith, has his own secrets and not just the ability to manipulate shadows. When Meren takes Tabra’s place at the coronation to protect her, it is Meren that Reven kidnaps. As Meren tries to escape from him, secrets are revealed and nothing is what it seems. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre - intrigue, fighting, dangerous situations, end of the world scenarios, paranormal creatures, evil masterminds, henchmen, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, secrets, mystical coincidences, snark, laughs, and unexpected plots twists. While this is a YA fantasy, is also a deeply emotional book. At its heart, it’s a story of stunted, damaged and bruised but not broken people who find their way together by owning their choices, recognizing their scars, finding their strength, embracing life, and deciding to be the best version of themselves. It’s a story about the power of choice. The book is well written, has characters with a lot of depth, plenty of witty dialogue, and an engaging storyline. The adventure of Meren and Reven will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, gasping, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. I am super excited to read the next book in this series.

Impressive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2022

For starters, the cover is beautiful 👌 what i liked the most: the relationship between Raven and Maren's. Between the two, Maren's character turned out to be one of the most strong female characters i ever read and i read a lot of books. It's not usual for me to prefer the female over the male character, but in this book this is one of the exceptions. Maren's character is the light of book, the light to Raven's darkness (literally) 😁 If this was the author's idea and written on purpose, Abigail Owen was successful 👏 This book totally exceeded my expectations. I loved Cain's character as well and off course i will read book two
