Wren Greenrock has always known that one day she would steal her sister's place in the palace. Trained from birth to return to the place of her parents' murder and usurp the only survivor, she will do anything to rise to power and protect the community of witches she loves. Or she would, if only a certain palace guard wasn't quite so distractingly attractive, and if her reckless magic didn't have a habit of causing trouble...
Princess Rose Valhart knows that with power comes responsibility. Marriage into a brutal kingdom awaits, and she will not let a small matter like waking up in the middle of the desert in the company of an extremely impertinent (and handsome) kidnapper get in the way of her royal duty. But life outside the palace walls is wilder and more beautiful than she ever imagined, and the witches she has long feared might turn out to be the family she never knew she was missing.
Two sisters separated at birth and raised into entirely different worlds are about to get to know each other's lives a whole lot better. But as coronation day looms closer and they each strive to claim their birthright, the sinister Kingsbreath, Willem Rathborne, becomes increasingly determined that neither will succeed. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?
“Rose wished her sister were here to see this. What would her life have been like, having fierce and fearless Wren always next to her? Anger flared inside her, as hot as the flames crackling in their cages.”
Review:
Twin Crowns by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber was a bit of a let-down for me. I've been waiting to dive into this trilogy until all three books were out. Now I am not sure if it is because I waited too long to read it or if it really just wasn't for me.
Rose and Wren are twins who were separated at birth. Their lives are completely opposite. Wren was raised to be switched out with Rose, so she can stop the hunt on witches. Rose, on the other hand, was raised with no realization that she had a missing sibling, let alone a twin. Rose has been trained to be the perfect princess. The more I read about these two sisters, the more I felt like they came across as very immature.
The storyline was boring and overly convenient. I was incredibly bored the entire time. This book came across as gimmicky. I was extremely disappointed, especially since I have the other books in the series. At this point in time, I do not plan on completing this series.
