“I was more than the girl, the King, and the monster of Blunder’s dark, twisted tale. I was its author.”

What a great conclusion to this wonderful duology. Two Twisted Crowns picks up from where One Dark Window ends, and the separation of Elspeth and Ravyn made me really sad. I love learning more about Blunder and the Shepherd King’s past.

I wasn’t sure about Elm’s POV at first but I really warmed up to him. The romance is pretty okay, there’s two couples now but Ravyn and Elspeth are still number one for me.

The Shepherd King is such a good duology. I really enjoyed the gothic and dark themes, the Providence Cards, the romance, and the little comedic moments.
