Twin Crowns by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber

Good evening,

It has been such a long time. I have completely ditched any other themed reading in favor of my all time favorite during this season: fantasy etching towards romantasy.

In order for me to do so I went on a little trip to the Irish Literure Festival in Dublin and bought myself signed editions of the Twin Crows Series. And not even arrived home already picked up the book.

My Summary:

In a kingdom where citizen are divided, two sister have been separated by birth. Each of them living with the enemy of the other. But once a switch takes place both sister realize there’s more than meets the eyes and truths are uncovered. Each of them lurns about their separation since birth, the reasons and as they navigate to get back what they want they must face plots, strategies and their number one enemy.

Review:

A good storyline with it’s bits of magic, plot and schemes perfect for lovers of the Romantasy, Fantasy and long lost sister tropes.

The author’s have outdone themselves and their writing style does smooth into each other. It is a quick paced storyline and has what we fantasy readers love about it.

It is destined for a younger audience, young and teen adults. But is still widely recommended to the adults who love to dive into Young Adult and Teen Adult storylines.

Perfectly, well suited for people starting to read the fantasy trope. Yet, don’t be scared by the number of pages.

Books Plot:

A high-stakes fantasy rom-com about twin princesses separated at birth—one raised as the crown princess, and the other taken as an infant and raised to kidnap her sister, steal the crown, and avenge the parents' murders—the first novel in a new YA duology from bestselling UK authors Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber. Perfect for fans of The Selection, My Lady Jane, and Caraval.

Wren Greenrock has always known that one day she’d steal her sister’s place on the throne. Trained from birth to return to the palace and avenge her parents’ murder, she’ll do anything to become queen and protect the community of witches who raised her. Or she would, if only a certain guard wasn’t quite so distractingly attractive, and if her reckless magic would stop causing trouble. . . .

Princess Rose Valhart knows that with power comes responsibility—and she won’t let a small matter like waking up in the desert with an extremely impertinent (and very handsome) kidnapper get in the way of her duty. But life outside the palace is wilder and more beautiful than she ever imagined, and the witches she has long feared might turn out to be the family she never had.

But as coronation day looms and each sister strives to claim her birthright, an old enemy becomes increasingly determined that neither will succeed. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?
