SUMMARY: Two twins who are separated at birth must somehow join together to defeat an evil monarch who is hell-bent on retaining his power by any means necessary. The story follows the two girls as they live their separate lives, one in the palace and one in a small village. Through various trials, mostly for Nala, the two girls meet in the city and join forces to take down the evil king. I don’t want to give too much away because the story is an enjoyable ride.

WHAT I LIKED: I really loved the storyline up until the last act. I felt as though there was so much background leading up to the end, and the end happens in a few pages. I’m guessing this might have a sequel, but it actually would’ve been better if this one concluded more succinctly. Outside of that, though, I really liked the characters and the relationships they formed throughout. There was a lot of complicated character building that was pretty good. I also appreciated that although there was adequate detail about the setting, the author didn’t overdo it by telling the reader what the dew on a leaf looks like. I’d definitely recommend.
