I have had this on my shelves since it came out and I am so glad that I finally got around to picking it up! 

I devoured this in just a couple of sittings because I was so engrossed in the story and with all of the characters. It is told through the alternating povs of twin sisters Wren and Rose; One twin is raised for the throne and the other is raised in secret by witches. 

It’s fast paced and set in a fantastical world that is not too hard to grasp the concept and politics of, but it still manages to be immersive and compelling. 

This had everything that I would want from a good ya fantasy novel: enemies to lovers, secrets, magic, forbidden romance and politics. 

I cant wait to see what goes down in the next instalment!
