Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
5.0
I just— I have no words. Just incredible.
Update: Now that I have pulled myself together after finishing this read, I cannot recommend this duology enough. One of my all time favorite reads.
As the author address in their acknowledgments, a sequel is not an easy thing to do. It is not easy to do incredibly well when the first book was already so perfect. And it is certainly not way to do knowing that it is the closing chapter of a story and of characters you have become so attached to. But this sequel nailed it. It took me much longer to read than it should have simply because I did not want it to ever end, so I figured I would just draw it out indefinitely.
This second book not only delved into the story where the first book left off, bur it also gave us a much deeper insight into characters from the first book - some of whom i was desperately wanting to know more about after the first bool and others that i didn't know I needed more of until I experienced them. Ione, Elm, the Nightmare. Just incredible character building.
If you have not read this duology by Rachel Gillig yet, then move it to the top of your TBR pile! I cannot wait to dive into this world again with a reread.
Thank you NetGalley and Orbit Books for an ARC of this masterpiece.
