Two Twisted Crowns

 Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig 437 pages

Summary: In the luscious, dark sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must face the consequences of what she's wrought - perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching.

Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders.

If they are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom.

And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.

My Thoughts: Book 2? Just as amazing as book 1! I loved getting a deeper understanding of The Nightmare and how he came about. I loved learning more about the Providence Cards, the magic behind it all. My brain didn't catch the importance of different types of trees in the first book, but they do hold a great importance. I love how each family has a tree name! I loved how the first book had a focus on the main love interests, and the second book we now have a new focus on two secondary characters and their blooming romance! It was refreshing to have a series (duology in this case) not focus on the same romance and create tension and drama!!!!!! Read this DUOLOGY!
