The Opal Crown Jenny Lundquist Books

The Opal Crown definitely lives up to it's prequel, The Princess in the Opal Mask. It was filled with conclusions, some immaturity, romance and finality. While many hope for the series to continue, for me, it was the conclusion that I had hoped for and sought after.

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the story. Elara and Wilha both are trying to become Queen of Galandria, jointly. They return to Galndria as traitors. Elara goes into hiding, while Wilha returns to the castle to sit alongside her brother, Andrei. What they don't realize is that old enemies are made known and "guiding" Andrei on ruling the kingdom behind the throne. But things start to go terribly wrong for all those involved, and people start to reveal their true selves.

I really didn't want this story to end, but when the conclusion came, I was very happy with it and thought that this ended on a really great note. I highly recommend this series.

The Opal Crown Jenny Lundquist Books Reviews

I love these books and The Opal Crown is a worthy sequel to The Princess in the Opal Mask. It's full of scheming characters with two very different twins stuck in the middle of a kingdom's battle for power. Another voice is added in book two--the twins' brother Andrei--and he adds a depth and dimension to an already colorful story. If you're looking for a clean, unique, well-written fantasy, I'd highly recommend these books.
TWINS AND INTRIGUE AND BETRAYAL OH MY!

I’m a sucker for dual-perspective novels as well as heroines that aren’t the typical warrior-princess so when I read Princess in the Opal Mask last year I was not surprised at how much I enjoyed it. My one qualm with the book was the rampant use of ‘okay’, which was jarring in a world that otherwise felt very Renaissance-y. Because of this I gave PitOM only 4 stars.

I am pleased to report that Opal Crown surpassed it’s predecessor and has earned a glowing 5 star review!

Not only did ‘okay’ make a several scant appearances the plot was much more exciting because, unlike in Opal Mask, I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen. (Er- well, I thought I did, then I didn’t, then I did again. It certainly kept me guessing.)

I spent most of the books alternately internally yelling WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ELARA?!? and WHILA I WANT YOU TO TRUST YOUR SISTER BUT I ALSO REALLY DON’T.

Unlike most readers I always liked Whila better. I loved how she accurately portrayed someone who has lived under an ever-present thumb her whole life. I was annoyed at Elara for being so flippant about Whila’s perspective and impatient with her, she didn’t seem to understand that she’s not the only twin who was abused as a child.

That being said I love, love LOVED that it took so long for Elara and Whila to become friends. I felt like it was realistic for them to be wary of each other and it made the journey of the book much more intriguing.

The letter was a huge surprise for me. I think I even had to set down the book for a moment to recover before rereading. That and the sudden “those characters you liked are dead BTW” scene set the book apart from the first one for me. Jenny Lundquist made some moves that made me respect her more as an author. She showed that she’s not just writing a cute princess story. These are realistic conflicts and in conflict people die. In conflict things are not always black and white. The grey areas where their brother Andrei was concerned interested me especially; it made me wonder how I would react in a situation like that.

I liked the way both the girls’ romances were back-burner for most of the book and then emerged rather sweetly at the end. I’m especially a big fan of WhilaxPatric because I loved them from the first chapter of Opal Mask.

All in all it was a good sequel that kept me guessing well into the night because I simply couldn’t put it down!
The Opal crown is a must read. Lundquist gave readers a thrilling plot, a bit of romance and for good measure she provided a fantastic ending!!
Really loved this series, you just couldn't stop reading it
Great author and a personal friend of mine. Can't wait to read her next book. I own all of her books.
A heartfelt, clean Game of Thrones-lite story starring the Stark sisters, filled with political intrigue, romance, much character growth, and best of all--hope, understanding, and forgiveness. (Minus magic, dragons, and Essos, that is.) The author weaves character, plot, and theme together so well. This book could stand alone, but I highly recommend that you read the first one (you might otherwise feel lost or would definitely miss out on what makes the characters so awesome in the second). It won't disappoint, especially for fans of Gail Carson Levine.
The opal crown is a great read from beginning to end. I was unable to put it down. The sisters are endearing albeit different, and they are a pleasure to get to know. It was enjoyable to read about their newly discovered loyalty to each other, and the ending was fitting for both princesses. Really a fun book. Nothing offensive for younger readers. There is violence, but necessary for the story.
