Twin Crowns is YA romantic, fantasy that fans of Tahereh Mafi, Stephanie Garber, etc are going to love. This book was absolutely amazing. It was so engaging and I just couldn’t put it down its a dual narrative, told from the point of view of two girls, Rose and Wren, twins who have never met as they were separated at birth, both who want the crown they believe is rightfully theirs. There is magic, there is romance, and most importantly there is a big friendly wolf. The plot intensifies when Rose learns a truth which makes her see things from a different perspective.
I found Wren’s story much more enjoyable personally and was more invested in her story. That might be because of the wolf and her moody owner, or it may be because Wren was someone I’d relate to, over Rose. However, both the sisters had clear and distinct morals, so there was never any confusion about who was taking the lead in each chapter.
Whether I would recommend it would depend on the audience. If you are a fan of light romance and fantasy, then this definitely up your street. I would probably say this is best if you are 12 or older due to some topics that you will probably understand better if you are older. To top it off this book is part of a trilogy so if you like this book, you have the pleasure of two more books in this series.
