Synopsis: Twins Wren & Rose were separated at birth. Wren was raised by her grandmother in the camp of the witch's resistance, aware of her sister and prepared to one day take back the throne for her people. Rose was raised as a princess under the close guardianship of the King's Breath, unaware of her twin and sure of her future as monarch. Now the twins are about to come of age and both are determined to claim the throne and their birthright.
My Thoughts:

  • I found this book a lot of fun right from the off. 
  • It's well-paced, with an interesting magic system.
  • Two great romantic pairings, one with brilliant enemies-to-lovers energy and another with great sexual tension.
  • Things are presented as quite black and white / good v evil between the King's Breath and the witches, perhaps with future books there will be some shades of grey or development of the King's Breath as he is quite a 2d villain at present
  • Rose is described throughout the book as a princess, but surely she would have become Queen at the moment of her father's death, albeit one with a regent or council of regents until she was of age? That's generally the way monarchy works but it seems that she can't be Queen here until she is ‘of age'?
  • Overall, the book has a really joyful feel without being overly light-hearted. It was lots of fun to read and really absorbing.
