This was one of the BEST books I’ve read! The magic system is so interesting and honestly I loved all the characters! Cannot wait to read the next book!

“The girl, the king… and the monster they became.”

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book. I had stayed away from spoilers, somehow blocking out the storyline.

I was definitely not disappointed! I LOVED this book and read it so quickly that I could not put it down.

The magic aspect of this storyline I loved. The Nightmare was portrayed, at the beginning of the book, as the villain. Constantly living in Elspeth’s head, taunting her, but ultimately her protector. The fact that the villain, later in the book, was shown to be the King and the High Prince was incredible. The twist of the Nightmare being the Shepherd King had me placing the book down and staring shocked at the closed book for ten minutes.

I was taken on a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, and found myself shouting at the book when Elspeth (the fmc) was being an idiot.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m already reaching for the second in the series. 5⭐️

This story was intriguing from the get go, but as it progressed i worried i had guessed all of the revelations. However, I’m glad I stuck with it because the drama at the end is very much worth it. On to the second book!

I had been dying to read this book and finally had a chance to read it for our book club. I was so worried that this book wouldn't live up to the hype but it did. I fell in love with Elspeth, Ravyn, and the others and got wrapped up in the story. Some parts of the story were predictable but it was still well-written. There were parts I had guess would happen but they happened in an unexpected way. It's part fantasy, part heist, part romance, and part mystery. If you are a fan of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, you'll love this. I'm going to have to get a copy of Two Twisted Crowns to see how it all ends!
