Twin Crowns: Twin Crowns, Book 1

Twin Crowns is the first book in this series of three written by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber and I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much so the minute I finished it I went straight online to order the second book!I am usually a romance reader but recently I have started to dip my toe into a few fantasy books but if I am honest I have struggled as I find the plentiful characters and unusual names and places all become a little overwhelming and mindboggling ( I am dyslexic so this could have an effect)BUT … I had absolutely no problems with this book at all, I sailed through it and can now say I have read a YA Fantasy that I absolutely loved.We are introduced to twin sisters Wren and Rose who live very different lives as they were separated at birth but whereas Wren knows of her sister Rose who is set to take the throne and become the Queen of Eana, Rose has no knowledge of her sister Wren who is about to threaten her claim to the throne in an attempt to save the lives of innocent witches.The storyline is so well structured with each character alternating between each of our two sisters and this allowed us to really get to know each of the girls well and see how their childhoods have differed and we learn they have both been told very different stories of why their parents were killed.Witchy fans you will love this one as this is a big theme in this book and this magical element was something that I really enjoyed as well as the little sprinkling of romance too. The book is fast paced and actioned packed and although it was clearly setting up for something big to come in the future books it didn’t feel like this book was holding anything back or lacking adventure in any way.There was also a great amount of humour weaved into the storyline too, thanks to supporting characters as well as our FMCs so this book really did tick all the boxes for me. Ideal start for those taking their first steps into the Fantasy world of books.

Throughly loved this book. I liked Wren the most for her rough badass personality, I loved that she fell for the guard and I think that chemistry was told quite well. I liked Rose, though the stuck up personality and the fact that she repeatedly thinks Wren is unsuitable to the throne is annoying and harsh which is one of the reasons I don't favourably like her over Wren but this is a good dynamic.I liked the history of the curse that essentially effects both the twins but we yet know why which is where i think book 2 will come in, waiting patiently for the next installment. I Iike the characters, both villainous and hero as well as supporting characters, they were all told well and fulfilling, they weren't empty characters which I've had read in other books before so this was good.The world building was good aswell, again other books sometimes can't do this element very well so it's good that they accomplished it, I really felt submerged in this world especially within the dessert, the dunes and scenes with Wren's best friend. I liked the storyline about how Rose found about the witches and how she is a witch and her overall romance plot, this was the better side of her, again I didn't like her underestimating Wren because Wren is, in my opinion, a much stronger character despite the abusive Rose went to.In conclusion, I think this is a really good book, it wasnt predictable which is different even though I totally called the shared throne, I didn't know what was happening throughout due to the many great twists and turns so I do recommend it, though I wish I would have waited for book 2 because now I'm biting my fingernails waiting to find out what happens next.

Loved this so much. Can't wait to read the next book. Full of amazing plot twist. Would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys adventure.

Idk the product was good but the storyline ? It wasn't in wren or roses perspective as u would expect from any 2 pov story and everything in it was kinda stupid sry I don't like the book butt give it a shot and see what u think!!

I was surprised at how much I liked this book! Sometimes they seemed to add some tension that was then resolved in seconds, so like, what was the point?? But overall not bad! It had some guys characters and some good twists

Fave Quote: Where adventure entangled with love, and freedom - true freedom - rolled in from the sea and kissed her cheeks every morningI loved this book so much and I can't believe it took me so long to read it! The start of the book was nothing like I expected. It was cleverly written with the POV switches between the twins, and if I didn't know, I wouldn't be able to tell there were 2 authors. The sisterly dynamic between Rose and Wren was very intriguing. I also enjoyed seeing them figure out who they could trust from the other twin's social circle. Twin Crowns could've worked as a standalone, but there are still loose threads to tie up. I want to see more of Celeste in future, and I look forward to more romantic developments too❌SPOILER WARNING❌•••••Although he made me cringe with the Ronsel baby name, I feel terrible for Ansel. He was a pawn for Rathborne and he wasn't right for either twin. Then to top it all off, he was killed because Tor was focused on saving Wren 🥲. That ending was a massive shock, especially considering I expected the twins to be fighting over the crown until the end of the trilogy. I love how Rose and Wren instantly bonded and have agreed to rule together, but I still have a feeling their partnership will fall apartTheory: The twins will reunite the 5 magical strands

Fiquei tão feliz e empolgada com essa leitura! Penso nessa história até hoje hahaha

This had everything that I love in a book! Romance, comedy, magic, fantasy, great world building and characters. I was laughing for most of this book because it was so hilarious!*spoilers ahead*I really liked both Wren and Rose. I connected with both of them on different levels. At first I thought that Shen and Rose had more chemistry than Tor and Wren did....but that was quickly remedied in the next chapter!I also loved Elske, Tor's "pet" wolf. She was a great addition! I wonder whether Tor will come back for her *cough*come back for Wren *cough* or if Wren and Rose will go to Gevra to get Banba back? I'm really excited to read book two and I hope that I don't have to wait for long!When Wren and Rose first meet face to face I loved how quickly they became close and acted like real sisters. I also love how fiercely protective they were of each other.There may be romance in this book for both sisters, but the true love in the story, I think, is the love between Wren and Rose, and sisters in general. And even though they were seperated for their whole lives, they still love each other and protect each other. When they got together, it was as if they hadn't been seperated at all.I like Celeste and how funny she is. She is such a great best friend to Rose! And I'm glad she was able to notice that Wren was an impostor. Like a true best friend would be able to!One thing that kept confusing me and annoying me is that anytime Wren and/or Rose tried to call off the wedding Rathborne, King Alarik or some other man was essentially telling them no and not letting them call it off. Like, isn't Rose the princess soon to be Queen? Isn't she ABOVE the Kingsbreath? Why did she have to do what he said no matter what?She should have just decreed as princess that the wedding was off!But it did make for a lot of crazy and funny mishaps!She also might have been better off speaking to Prince Ansel and telling him she wanted to postpone/call off the wedding.Speaking of Prince Ansel!!! :( I am absolutely heartbroken by what happened to him at the end of the book! He was so sweet and had an innocent like personality... I understand why King Alarik and Princess Anyka are wanting war with Eana now. Poor Ansel!!I loved this book and every moment of it! I paced it and took my time reading it because I didn't want it to be over. I am really excited to get my hands on the second book!!

Le livre dit en "très bon état" est arrivé avec des coups de surligneur et le dos complètement cassé.

I didn‘t expect this cliffhanger in the end, but love it! Can‘t wait to read the next book!

I loved it.I brought it by hearing it's a story of twin sisters, I completed it within 3 days.Didn't feel to put it down.I liked the romance between Wren & Tor most, the chemistry 😍,but when I was reading I was excited about Rose& Shen.I loved them too. It's a pretty good romantic fantasy novel.So excited to know what will happen in the next book.One of the best romantic novel I read.
