Review: The Hollow Crown by Diana Pharaoh Francis
Again, a quick disclaimer: I’m acquainted with the author, and my opinion may not be wholly unbiased.
Margaret may be a princess, but she’s trained all her life to serve the Crown, not to wear it. As a spy and assassin, Margaret is the go-to woman for the Crown’s quiet and dirty work. With the members of the royal family either dead or in hiding, the magic of Crosspointe failing, and the threat of invasion growing stronger by the moment, there’s plenty of dirty work to be done-and the tools at hand are rather limited. To save Crosspointe, Margaret has only the help of a single trusted friend, a foreign informant, and one her greatest political enemies: an active opponent of the Crown who is far too influential-and far too attractive-for Margaret’s peace of mind.
