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.

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.

I loved her stronge snarky attitude to him and his almost infatuated exasperation with her. The banter was great. The only thing that could make this better would if I could purchase in KU and get it now as I hate the waiting but looking forward to the next book.


The first chapter was pretty good but a few odd things popped up in the 2nd and 3rd chapters. The publisher's write-up and lure seemed great so I magnanimously decided to overlook the evil and kept on reading. I read on to the halfway point and realized I could not read any more of this book. Soooo, I turned to the last page to see how it ended and found a disclaimer by the author.
"The Liar's Crown is an addictive, action-packed upper YA/NA fantasy romance; however, this story includes elements that might not be suitable for all readers, including but not limited to: violence, gore, death, kidnapping, poverty, and sexual content. I trust you to know you own triggers and limits, so please take note and take care."
Ok, that was a shocker to me. I don't think I've ever come across something like this. I think the disclaimer should have been in the write-up and in bold print at the front of the book. Also, the author didn't even mention the demons and possession.
