Princess and the Pauper retelling, kind of. A bit too long especially cause it's a duology. I felt like they could've cut at least 100 pages. Plotline was a bit predictable for regular ya fantasy readers. I likely won't continue with book two as I feel like I know what's gonna happen and I'm not moved to read another 500 pages.
2/5 🌶️ basically some hot and heavy kissing

I was so pleasantly surprised by this! 😍
"Twin Crowns" was the first book in months I was able to really focus on and speed through. It reminds me so much of the fantasy books from 4-5 years but in such a positive way. It's got great worldbuilding, interesting relationship and some great action at the end (and of course, the romance was nice, too 😉).
I would definitely recommend it and I'm looking forward to the next book!
