The Lily and the Crown is a lesbian scifi romance about daring to risk your heart with someone you shouldn’t.
Ariana “Ari” Geiker lives an isolated life on an imperial space station commanded by her father. The skilled, young botanist rarely leaves her living quarters, where she maintains an elaborate garden. When an imperious older woman is captured from a pirate ship and given to her as a slave, Ariana’s perfectly ordered life is thrown into chaos. Her nameless slave is watchful, intelligent, dangerous, and sexy, and seems to know an awful lot about tactics, star charts, and the dread, marauding pirate queen, Mir.
What happens when the slave also reveals an expertise in seduction to her innocent mistress?

To be a recluse and living in your own world because you feel like you are not part of what is around you is so familiar to me.
I love the hard look on life and the struggle the MC goes through. You can’t not cry and laugh and love this story.
Angela Dowe brings the characters to life and with emotion so well. Roslyn Sinclair has written a book that just makes you feel and you want to just wrap the MC in your arms. I totally recommend the book.
I can’t stop listening

Angela Dawe was an excellent narrator whose cadence and style added to the story and made everything come alive.
I would love to see a sequel!
Cute, quirky characters

But what an AMAZING story. It was Star Wars meets Fingersmith. I loved all the bedroom action and the ending. However, I wish the plot hole of them doing a lie detector test was addressed. Also, more details regarding what Intel was stolen.
9/10 for me. I’m glad I bought it so I can relisten
It was driving me crazy.

So, what makes this book great? I love Ariana, and I usually find naivete annoying because it’s a common trait of the damsel in distress. However, Ari is no damsel and fights back at every opportunity. People wrongly assume that because she rarely leaves her quarters she is unintelligent or incapable. This isn’t accurate, but no one makes an effort to know her until the slave, known as “Assistant,” is assigned to her. Assistant is equally compelling, but for different reasons. While Ari’s many layers are laid bare as the book progresses, Assistant is reticent to divulge information about her past. She’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery, and that brings me to something else this book does well…
Anyone who loves reading will know exactly who Assistant is early-on. It’s not an especially well-disguised secret because hints are dropped routinely. Some might argue that this ruins the mystery but I think it only adds to it. Why is she doing what she’s doing? Did she plan on falling for Ari? What is the end goal? So, knowing who Assistant is creates tension and a lot of questions. There’s nothing I love more than not being able to put a book down because I need to know what is happening. So, bravo, Sinclair. I lost hours of sleep. You’re responsible for the black circles under my eyes!
I’m sincerely questioning whether or not I need to leave constructive criticism, but I do this for every book I read. Learning is growing, right? Sigh. So, I think this story could be better if we knew more about Assistant as a person – not her past necessarily, but what she enjoys. I wanted the two characters to bond over a shared passion because they always seem diametrically opposed. Opposites attract is a compelling dynamic. But even people who are different bond over things like chocolate ice cream. There needs to be a great equalizer especially because one of them is a slave,
Regardless, this book is 5-stars. You’re only hurting yourself by not reading it. It’s not heavy sci-fi. It’s sexy as hell. And it’s binge-worthy. Please Sinclair, retcon the epilogue and give us more of this relationship. I’m not too proud to beg.
Also, if you have Audible credits, buy the audiobook. Angela Dawe is sensational.
