I liked One Dark Window way more than I thought so naturally I had to keep reading and Two Twisted Crowns did not disappoint!
It was even better than book 1. I really really enjoyed the writing and the atmosphere of the book. I am a sucker for a good rhyme and both books delivered on that front paired with a very intriguing story.
Do I dare to say that the characters of book 2 were almost more interesting than from book 1 ? Maybe.
While One Dark Window was entirely from Elspeth’s perspective, Two Twisted Crowns is told from several pov’s and I am happy it is, because after the end of ODW, I was curious how the story will progress from there.
We got the full backstory on the Shepherd King’s past and how it connects with the present. Some of the things you could guess from book 1, but nothing that would ruin the story.
Did I cry at some parts ? Yes. Obviously I did.
Besides the Shepherd King, Ione and Elm (loved them together!) and even Hauth, to some degree, turned out to be very interesting characters.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this duology and I am excited for any future Rachel Gillig books.
