Publisher's summary
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the wickedest of them all? Snow White’s dark queen tells her side of the story in the first book of a queer, witchy duology that reimagines the classic fairy tale—from the author of Malice.
“An alluring, vengeful origin story that brings tremendous dimension to a classic fairytale.”—Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings
Legends tell of a witch who became a queen—the heartless villain in the story of Snow White.
But now the wicked queen is stepping out of Snow White’s shadow to become the heroine of her own legend.
Her real “once upon a time” begins when she is just Ayleth, a young witch who lives in the forest with her coven. The witches practice their magic in secret, hiding from the White King and his brutal war against witchcraft.
Ayleth, however, faces a war of her own. Her magical gifts have yet to reveal themselves, and as the threat of the Royal Huntsmen intensifies, Ayleth fears she will never become the witch her coven needs.
To prove herself, Ayleth sets out on a perilous quest that sends her to the White Palace, a decadent world of drama and deceit. There, Ayleth encounters an unlikely figure from her past: Jacquetta, a witch who once held Ayleth’s heart—and betrayed her.
As events at the palace escalate, Ayleth finds herself caught in the web of the White King, whose dark charisma is as dangerous as the sinister force that seems to be haunting the palace—and perhaps even Ayleth herself. With the threat of discovery looming, Ayleth and Jacquetta must set aside the wounds of their past and work together to survive.
As she uncovers the secrets of the White Court—and those of her own heart—Ayleth must find the strength to transform into someone she never imagined she could be.
A powerful witch, the very wickedest of them all.
Book One in The Crimson Crown series.

If there is one thing you needed to know about me it is this: I hate vampires. They are useless, soul-sucking monsters that destroy everything in their path, even my own family. I joined The Order and became a vampire hunter for revenge, but I never would have guessed that my job would entail baby-sitting the vampire heir to the most powerful clan in the world. And if she thought I was going to break like the other hunters she has been through... she has another thing coming to her.

Maddileh is a knight. There aren’t many women in her line of work, and it often feels like the sneering and contempt from her peers is harder to stomach than the actual dragon slaying. But she’s a knight, and made of sterner stuff. A minor infraction forces her to redeem her honor in the most dramatic way possible, she must retrieve the fabled Fireborne Blade from its keeper, legendary dragon the White Lady, or die trying. If history tells us anything, it's that “die trying” is where to wager your coin.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

My needs are fulfilled as long as I work, and if my life is full of more sorrow than most, it's because I was born for it. But even I have my limits, and when the people who've raised me do the unthinkable, I burn the walls down and walk away. My first steps away from the commune led me straight into the company of someone I barely knew existed. Edrick was once married to my mother, but the life she lived in the palace never touched me, and I was surprised when Edrick brought me there.

Great first half of a the series.
Off the bat, don’t make my mistake and allow yourself to be biased by Malice. I let myself compare The Crimson Crown to the previous series, and I found myself expecting more. But that’s unfair. This is its own series and should be given that respect. After I got over that initial feeling, I began enjoying this novel so much more. It builds up the character nicely and we can see the through line to exactly the person she’s going to be, in all the best ways.

Amazing!!!
The story was so well done. Ayelith was such a detailed character. I felt for her, and there were many many times where she surprised me. The twists and characters were so entertaining and the drama and heartbreak was so intense. Can’t wait for the second book!!! I loved every bit of this book, literally took the weekend to read it and I’d do it all over again.

If you enjoyed Malice, you’ll enjoy this story!
I enjoyed Ayleth’s character as things unfolded (especially the end, muhahaha); also, her connection to Jacquetta was bittersweet and real. I loved the way the story progressed, everything felt natural, and I am now waiting patiently and excitedly for the sequel!
Narrator also did a really good job, very easy to listen to and distinguish different characters (always a plus when a narrator goes for different tones for other characters).
Good story, good characters, Heather Walter has become one of my favorite authors now. :)

this book was amazing! so unbelievably will put together. it brought out so many emotions, and I couldn't stop listening. Heather Walter does such an amazing job with character building and giving you all the details to paint such a vivid picture. Emily Woo Zeller also did such a wonderful job with bringing the characters to life. I can't wait for Heather Walter to write another book, she's definitely one of my favorite authors. thank you Heather and Emily for putting together such an amazing story to listen to.

it was good buuut
The story overall was good but there were elements in the story that were drawn out to the point that I wanted to rip my hair out, the internal dialog was sooooooo repetitive and sometimes annoying, like right before anything interesting happened INTERNAL DIALOG and it's the same damn thing every time like, WE GET IT your insecure and have trust issues, you don't have to tell us a 100 times. It just made it feel like the story was lagging.

Did I read the same book the rest of you read?
The performance is fine. The story is juvenile, repetitive (If you had to drink every time you hear the words "grey eyes" be prepared for alcohol poising---no apple needed) and boring. Even the last 30 minutes of the story where Ayleth becomes the " Big Bad" fizzles. I love books based on fairy tales but my recommendation is skip this one.
