Solomon’s Crown by Natasha Siegel Review

Solomon’s Crown written by Natasha Siegel which was published in March 14, 2023. You can read this before Solomon’s Crown PDF EPUB full Download at the bottom. The family drama between Richard, his father the king, and his brothers was compelling and totally had me invested. I know a (small) bit about the Angevins and the Plantagenets (Henry II, Richard the Lionheart and King John included) and I thought it was a very believable way for their stories to unfold. (Any historical knowledge is fairly irrelevant to the plot or general enjoyment of this book. But it was very cool getting to see Richard speak to his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine.) I was completely invested. The development of the relationship between Richard and Philip was a delicious slow burn and totally had me all in from the beginning. It was such a beautiful connection between the two. I thought the book was poignant and so beautifully written. The scenes between Philip and Richard are full of unspoken feelings, angst, electricity and sensuality. Later, there are incredible declarations of love and desire. The big question, though, is: will it end like Captive Prince, with two kings in love coming together to rule both kingdoms in peace, or like Song of Achilles, doomed to their fate and parted by death?

Brief Summary of Solomon’s Crown

The summary of Natasha Siegel’s book Solomon’s Crown instantly caught my attention and I am so grateful to have received an advance digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. .I started reading it as soon as I received the ARC and I could not put it down. It fulfilled so many of my likes: historical setting, first person narration, alternating POV, romance, intrigue, medieval setting, enemies to allies to lovers.. Solomon’s Crown tells the story of Philip II of France and Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) through their own first person alternating narration. It starts with the history and moves to the author’s recreation of the characters and what could have been, in beautifully lyrical writing that transports you into their lives, their minds, their hearts. The book spans about a decade in the lives of Richard and Philip, with time skips that work as far as propelling the narrative. The historical events are imparted with excellent clarity and are woven into the POVs seamlessly. The recounting of the specific events from both characters POVs is fascinating and immensely satisfying. The characterizations are nuanced and historically based, with a loving helping of The Lion in Winter added in. It works so well. You are immersed in the story, the politics, the lives. I literally inhaled this book over the course of 24 hours. And I will be going back for a reread. The prose is lush and packed with emotion. The vulnerability of both characters really stood out to me. This story fleshed out these epic historical figures and made them real, approachable, in all their flawed and vulnerable ways. It is a peek behind the curtain at leadership, at what ruling and kingship means. And what it means to find love and happiness along with the power and pomp that their station entails. Richard and Philip are enthralling and utterly engaging. I loved them both. I loved their POVs, I loved their stories, I loved them together. The secondary characters are well written, interesting in their own right, and unique in their portrayals. The history is on every page but it is the romance and the attraction that shines through the story. The depiction of all the obstacles in Richard and Philip’s way. The way their exalted roles give them dizzying power but also limit them and confine them and force decisions on them. This story is about how they navigate that to find and keep each other and a measure of happiness in their lives. I was thinking about this book long after I finished it. Philip and Richard will stay with me, in the way Siegal wrote them. I was rooting for them from the start and the book fulfilled all my wishes for their story.
