Description

The story follows the perspective of a logical but chaotic fire mage in a fantasy-medieval world that is entirely hostile to mages. The main character confronts memories of his past as the man who sold the world for power, all while facing similar conflicts in the present while facing off against an oppressive Elven kingdom that spans the continent, led by two identical religious leaders gifted with the ability of foresight.

★★★★★ 4.5
Overall Score - I give The Violent Crown a 4.5, simply because of overrall enjoyment. It's obvious the author has a world built up around his characters, and the history and character the world posesses is a joy to read. The violence is a guilty pleasure, and the action scenes are the author's specialty, obviously.
Style Score - I gave the style a 4.5 here, as the writer's style is tangible and enjoyable.
Story Score - The story can be difficult to understand sometimes, between flashbacks and other writing mechanics, but the author has gotten better at making the story more legible and interesting as it continues. The author has also made the potential for greater intrique further on, by dropping names and locations for further events that may occur in the future.
Grammar Score - I caught a few minor grammar mistakes early on, but much like the rest of the author's work, it has gotten better as the story progresses. Any minor issues have been corrected after being pointed out, as well, showing the author is willing to improve.
Character Score - It can be difficult to understand who the protagonist is supposed to be, because the main character is difficult to root for. He's something of an anti-hero, but unlike many anti-heroes, has few, if any, redeeming qualities. The main character's foils are easier to like and root for, but seeing as the story hasn't finished yet, I look forward to any character development that may occur in the future.
In summary, The Violet Crown is a good story with an interesting style, a good story that is getting better with each chapter, excellent grammar, and interesting and enjoyable characters. The story has been good so far, and I thoroughly look forward to further chapters.
