Finally, a morally grey character!! King Alarik kinda came through on this one I won’t lie. More forbidden romance too which had me screaming crying throwing up

I wish some parts were more descriptive as certain background stuff can be puzzling (eg why is this character being described as pacing around the room when they’ve just been sat down one second ago). I feel that the finer details are missing and some action-packed chapters can be underwhelming but I’m hooked on where this story will lead and I will definitely be following this trilogy. I don’t think it’s a 5 star read but 4 doesn’t feel right either since I cannot stop thinking about this incomplete trilogy and I feel like this is something I would even re-read.

As usual, Wren has my heart - she’s the type of character a lot of fmc’s think they are. Rose can be annoying (especially her spoiled brat moments including the foot-stomping) but both pov’s are still entertaining nonetheless and she’s within the tolerable threshold imo. I also do wish that the ‘Queenie’ nickname usage was cut down by like 70% because it was getting very sickly to read.

In saying that, if we do not get an evil Wren in the second book, I will riot.

Twin Crowns #3 let’s gooooo

This book was good! It had lots of plot twists some that I did for see but others I could not of imagined. The authors are really good at keeping you hooked for more and I think that’s why I read it so quick. This book was more dark than I had anticipated but also sad. I liked the first one a bit better and like before they solved some of the problems and left some of the big ones. Hopefully they will be all solved in the final book Burning Crowns. I can’t wait to read the last book. However this book did shed some light on characters that I did not know about and it gives me a slightly different feeling about them. This book was more romantic than I expected but I liked it! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants adventure plot twists romance emotions and mystery.
