A Must Read!

I could not put this book down. It has been a long time since I've been sucked into a storyline that I didn't want to leave! Well written with characters you cry and cheer for, this is a must read for Fantasy genre readers!

Desperately Disappointing

I cannot believe how many people gave this a five star review... I like the "vibe" of the book and I see what the author was going for in terms of tone. The amount of exposition is not nearly enough to form a genuine attachment to the characters. Speaking of characters, it was hard for me to form any type of emotional connection to them. Any exposition or information about them was told explicitly. There are some moments where I could tell they were supposed to be "hard hitting" but the characters were so flat that I actually did not care. There's so much more wrong with this book, but on the upside I got to learn a bunch of tree names.

Surprise Favorite Read

I work at a BN and within the span of two weeks, I had 3 people come in to buy the sequel, all saying the same thing: "I finished the first last night." In a post-Iron Flame reading slump, I decided to jump in and see what all the fuss was about. Not disappointed in the slightest because the world, the characters and magic system had me enraptured until I was done with the series. I recommend this book to anyone I can, especially those looking for an original concept fantasy book with a well balanced plate of character development, plot, and magic.

If I could give it ten stars I would

This dark romance book is so unique. The magic system and the nightmare are just amazing. The story had me on the edge of my seat. This is the book I tell everyone to read and the second book is already out and is just as fantastic as the first.

Slammed my book down when I was done..

With a tight chest and said through gritted teeth "That was so. Effing. Goood!" And I called my husband who was out fishing for the day to pick up Two Twisted Crowns on his way home for me, so I am beyond anxious for him to get back and dive right in! What a wild ride this first book was holy moly 😩
