I haven't had a book like this in years! Two Twisted Crowns has swallowed me up and spit me back out too many times to count. I think I lost and found a peice of myself within it's pages. I've never fallen in love with so many characters in my life!

Holy shit what a ride. This whole universe was already planned out and this entire book just weaves together so beautifully. I enjoyed every minute of the first book and the sequel. I’m so sad that it’s over but I had such a great experience and I love the feeling of not being able to put the book down. I liked the second couple even better than the first couple and I enjoyed all of the action sequences. I could not predict what was gonna happen and I loved that as well. Their ability to have fully fleshed out Characters was fantastic (even very minor characters).

Holy moly this was amazing. Genuinely can’t think of a single complaint. This book built upon everything it promised in the first one, and then some. 
I absolutely adored the characters, and how much depth we got to see from multiple characters. Each story was so compelling, loved it. 
The magic in this series is so amazing, and the atmosphere and sense of history just really drove this home for me. I love a world that feels so full and complete, like it will exist outside of the story, and this hit the nail on the head for me. 
Anyways, TLDR; loved it and 100% recommend (just check your trigger warnings).
