This was such a thrilling and emotional book. I found myself getting lost in the pages. 
The characters are so well written. I loved getting to know Elm and Ione more.
I had moments of tears and moments where I was smiling like an idiot and moments when I could hardly breathe things were so tense. 
I love the poetic parts of the story. I love the magic system and how it evolved in this book.
I only wish we got more time in Blunder because I loved this book so much.

I loved this book but the first book was def better. I find the story a bit confused but that might just be because I couldn’t remember who was related to who and what the relationships were. I love Ravyn and how we got to see a weaker side of him emotionally and physically in this book. Also the fact the Ione walks Elm like a dog kills me

It’s rare for the second book in a series to be better than the first, but Two Twisted Crowns is exactly that! Not only was it faster and filled with amazing lore, it answered so many of the questions I had from the first book.

My desire to learn more about Ione? Completely satisfied in this book! My wish for more history and world building? Totally fulfilled!

Not only did I enjoy the whole process of reading this book, the ending satisfied me like no other.
