“The two were together, so the two were the same: The girl, the King… and the monster they became.”

A great ending to a dark fairytale duology. I was worried how this book would go after the ending of the first as I didn’t think I would enjoy the change in characters. Well I was wrong. 

Two twisted crowns leads on from the first straight into the action. We continue with multiple points of view and this really helps to keep the story and action going.

 I can’t say much because, well, spoilers! But what I will say is we lead into a new path of plot and story as well as a new romance and I often found myself reading well past my bed time as I didn’t want to put it down. 

As in the first I loved the magic system in this book as it’s so unique  with chosen magic from the providence cards as well as the infection of magic from the mist. 

This book did get more fantasy intense (if that’s a thing?) with a quest and spirits and trials/barters 

I do feel like I had a couple of questions at the end that weren’t fully answered but they probably as I wanted to have a more in-depth answer rather than a simple line or two (assuming editing came into that!) 

A great fantasy duology that I’ll continue to recommend.
