This book was a surprise.
After reading One Dark Window, the first in this duology, I was disappointed. Though I loved the plot, general vibes, and the monster, I felt it lacking in the character department.
Two Twisted Crowns certainly fixed its mistakes in the second book when it came to character development.
Spoilers start here‼️
While I found Rayvn and Eslpeth lackluster and boring, Ione and Elm were wonderful. For a subplot romance, both characters felt in depth, their relationship growth felt realistic, and their shared experiences and pain were heartbreaking beautiful.
While I don’t think I’d consider this duology a romance, I think the Two Twosted Crowns’ romantic subplot was well written.
The plot itself, was wonderful. I found it engaging and exciting. I love the dynamic between Elspeth and the monster. I fell in love with Taxus really. His story of redemption a beautiful read
