Burning Crowns, Twin Crowns #3, by Katherine Webber and Catherine Doyle

Hello dearest book readers,

I just finished the "Twin Crowns" series, so here is my review of the last book. I’ll also post a separate review covering the series as a whole.

Review:

This final installment is one of my favorites, alongside the first book, because it delves deeper into the family’s past and explores the consequences of actions taken during the second book.

I particularly enjoyed the characters of Rose and Celeste. Rose is exceptionally well-written, and I found Celeste to be equally compelling. Surprisingly, I developed a newfound appreciation for Alaric as well. The book maintains a large font size, making its 450 pages feel like 300 to 350 pages in a standard format. It’s a fast-paced and easy read, and I’m glad I took my time with the ending instead of rushing through it, which often happens with longer books.

The most exciting revelation is that two more books are on the way: book four will focus on Marino, Celeste's brother, and book five will center on King Alaric of Jevra. I'm very interested to see how these stories will unfold.

The ending of the third book was satisfying, providing a fitting conclusion for both queens. The authors did an excellent job, especially with the ending and the insights into the characters' pasts. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eagerly anticipating the next two.

Plot:
