About this deal

Lastly, the romance. There were two main romances in this- one for Wren, one for Rose. I was actually surprised that I ended up liking both romances!! They were both cute and added a little something to the plot that helped make it a bit more interesting. I really liked the banter in Rose's romance, and the dynamic between Wren and her love interest was really good 💖💖 They definitely weren't the best romances ever, but they were fun and cute! 🥰🥰 Aaand now the romances. I actually loved the romances in this, but I definitely preferred one over the other. There may be romance in this book for both sisters, but the true love in the story, I think, is the love between Wren and Rose, and sisters in general. And even though they were seperated for their whole lives, they still love each other and protect each other. When they got together, it was as if they hadn't been seperated at all.

Because the book is told though their alternating POVs, you end up jumping from one parallel plotline to the other. This book was disappointing. Both main characters felt very juvenile, and the plot was very simple, convenient, and predictable. Both romances were predictable, the politics and the villains’ scheming were predictable, and honestly, I felt that not much happened for the first 60% of the story, and then everything was rushed and the ending was just messy and over-the-top cheesy at the same time. The book mostly focuses on romance instead of the plot, and even if there are two romances developing, they both felt overly simple and predictable. The world-building was also simple and your usual YA fantasy book, nothing memorable or original.

Twin queens Wren and Rose have claimed their crowns…but not everyone is happy about witches sitting on Eana’s throne.

I don't want to sound entirely negative about this, because I do understand why people like it. There were good parts to it, such as a pretty original plot. I liked the witchy aspect and what the sisterly bond could have been if it hadn't felt so rushed; so, I suppose I appreciate what the book could have been. Wren's character arc starts as a determined and trained spy for witches who would sacrifice everything to complete her goal, to questioning if her methods are just as she meets others in her sister's court. Twin sisters separated at birth and raised into entirely different worlds are about to get to know each other’s lives a whole lot better… Switching places was a new experience for both sisters and fun for me! They got to know each other slowly in amusing ways. Uncorrected proof copy received from Egmont Publishing in an exchange for an honest review. This title releases on the 12th May 2022.

Three Dark Crowns بود. اما خب، همچین چیزی اتفاق نیفتاد و به نحوی قصه به نقطه تعادلی مملو از آرامش رسید تا در جلد بعد ادامه پیدا کنه. شاید برای اولین بار بود که واقعا دلم یه کلیف هنگر می خواست تا برای جلد دوم تشنه ترم کنه... And Rose? It took longer. She’s definitely a little spoilt, but she’s also the most heartfelt and sweet human ever. Even the secondary characters were bland (except maybe Celeste), and seemed to have no purpose besides supporting the main characters, or being introduced as obvious love interests that we are supposed to like I guess, even though we know nothing about them, and they don’t have much personality. One of the two love interests was SO BLAND, he literally has no personality traits, not one, but that’s okay because he’s handsome and strong. 🙄 This was a super fun read!! 🤩🤩 I went in with high expectations bc of the stunning cover and interesting synopsis, and it was just as light and entertaining as I hoped it would be! 🥰🥰
