Whewwwwwww ok. So the ending of One Dark Window WRECKED me. I wasnât sure what was going to happen to the group after that doozy.
Two Twisted Crowns picks up right where ODW left off and this go around we get more POVs (four in total).
The Nightmare and Ravyn are playing a very dangerous game with the King. I wasnât sure if it would pay off or not. The Nightmare is so set on his revenge everyone is collateral and he doesnât seem to care. Ravyn is desperate to save the ones he loves and is willing to do whatever it takes; because of this the two of them make the most unlikely allies.
Elm and Ione are back at Stone playing the game of court. Surrounded by enemies, theyâre every move is being watched and questioned. Those loyal to Hauth want revenge for what has happened to him and go out of their way to make their displeasure known. With Hauth balancing between life and death, Elm and Ioneâs futures teeter with it.
Then thereâs Elspeth⌠oh Elspeth. I went back and fourth on trying to figure out what was happening with her. When it finally clicked, just WOW. Without giving too much away through Elspeth we learn it all. The past, present and future are all in play because of her and her relationship to the nightmare.
When I was at about 80% in I really wasnât sure how this was going to end. Honestly until I got to the last chapter I was ready for it all to turn on its head and throw me. THAT ENDING was everything! And thatâs all Iâm going to say about that. This book, this series was amazing! Iâm not sure Iâve read anything like it before and I canât wait to see what Rachel Gillig brings us in the future.
Thank you to Rachel Gillig, NetGalley and Orbit Books for the opportunity to read this amazing story.
