Friends, I just finished "Two Twisted Crowns" and had to give it a full 5 stars! Rachel Gillig absolutely delivered with this conclusion to her darkly enchanting series. The way she wrapped up all those intricate plot threads was so satisfying, while still keeping that haunting atmosphere we've all come to love.

The entire experience felt like being wrapped in a dark, velvety dream that somehow manages to find its way to a fairy tale ending without losing any of its bite. Gillig's talent for blending shadow and light, heartbreak and hope, is on full display here. I found myself slowing down toward the end, not wanting to leave this world she's created, but also desperate to see how everything would unfold.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
