NOTE: Thanks to Netgalley for the early copy!
A year later, and we get the sequel of our resident witch-queen sisters who now rule Eana (and have to deal with all the baggage of ruling) and while book 1 left me with a bated breath, waiting to see what would happen next, I finally get to dive into the sequel and all its madness.
So, here we go.
Short Summary: Our resident witch-queen twins must deal with ruling a land while trying to avoid war with their sworn enemies and with a brewing rebellion to eradicate all the witches in Eana (including them)
Long Summary: Wren and Rose now rule the land of Eana together. While Rose embraces her new queendom with her sister, Wren struggles to adjust to her new reality and with her grandmother captured by King Alarik, she sets off on a journey to go save her which lands her on a dangerous deal with the current sovereign who could be treading onto more than what he thought.
With her sister gone, Rose must rule Eana by herself, torn between her sister, her people and the new threat of the Desert sands starting to shift and to kill people along the way. With a growing rebellion to kill all the witches of Eana, Rose must choose what is best for her-- saving her people, her loyalty to her sister or truly being the queen she wants to be.
But can both sisters get what they want without risking their heads?
Like in my last review of Twin Crowns, Wren continues to be my favorite sister who always has the better journey and more stakes included to make us care for her. Rose seems to be a bit more knowledgeable at least after the last book that made me wonder why she existed at all, but in terms of sequels, it was an okay one. Given that it dragged in some parts and sped up in others, it appears to suffer what a lot of sequels go through, with the whole "what actually happens in the middle? *inserts filler content*"I think I've read better sequels, but now we'll have to see how the series wraps up.
Particularly here for Wren and to see how her story wraps up.
Overall: 3.5/5 stars
