g_monaghan 's review for:

Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
4.75
adventurous challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Loved this duology, especially the second installment.
Elm and Ione
have my heart 😭 loved how  ferociously tender they were to one another, not compelled to make the other better, very much "i can make them worse" trope. 
If you like obstinate and resolute characters that soften only for each other, allowing the other to eventually see behind the façade, you'll like their dynamic.
Feel as if
Elspeth and the Nightmare
were more the main characters than
her and Ravyn
by the end.
Likely to re-read next autumn 🍂 


*The magic system in this book does mean a number of characters fall under the control of others which is at times used for nefarious means*
