Twin queens Wren and Rose have claimed their crowns . . . but not everyone is happy about witches sitting on Eana’s throne.
Cool-headed Rose sets off on a Royal Tour to win over the doubters, but soon finds herself drawn to the Sunkissed Kingdom. Here secrets are revealed about those closest to her, and Rose finds her loyalties divided.
Meanwhile rebellious Wren steals away to the icy north to rescue their beloved grandmother, Banba. But when she accepts King Alarik’s deadly magical bargain in exchange for Banba’s freedom, the spell has unexpected – and far-reaching – consequences . . .
As an ancient curse begins to arise from the darkness, the sisters must come together and unite the crown. Their lives – and the future of Eana – depend on it.
After finishing Twin Crowns I wasted no time in picking up
the second book in this trilogy, Cursed Crowns which picks up on the journey
with sisters Wren and Rose after they have taken their rightful place on the
throne.
As the pair are set to commence the Royal tour to promote
peace within Eana and to unite the witches and the non magical villagers Wren decides
to forgo the tour in the attempt to find and save their grandmother Bamba who
was captured by King Alerik. Rose has no choice but to continue with the tour
along with Shen-Lo to aid her.
As both of the sisters set out on their own tasks it soon
becomes clear that both of them are about to face a dark and dangerous time
ahead. Each chapter alternates between Rose and Wren which keeps the book
feeling action packed and fast paced as lost Kingdoms are found, dark curses
are unearthed and blood magic is discovered.
I am not a big Fantasy reader, as much as I would love to be
I usually find the vast amount of characters with obscure names along with the
various lands and kingdoms to keep on top of all a little overwhelming and before
long I lose my way however the Twin Crowns series has been so easy to read,
slowly introducing the characters building up a picture in your mind before
introducing the next so that they all feel well developed and the places are
easy to differentiate between too. If you are just dipping your toe into
fantasy this is the perfect series to get you started.
It is rare for me to read a series and find the second book
in the series matches the energy and excitement of the first but Cursed Crowns
is bursting with the same magical essence as Twin Crowns. The ending has been
set up ready for what looks to be a dramatic darker twist to come in book 3
Burning Crowns and I am chomping at the bit to start this final book straight
away.
In all honesty I wouldn’t recommend trying to read this book
as a standalone so jump straight into Twin Crowns and enjoy this magical witchy
journey.
