Elspeth and Raven have gathered eleven Providence Cards, but the last and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders. They have until the Solstice to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. If they’re going to find the last card, they’ll need to journey behind the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds the kingdom.
But there’s just one problem.
The only one who can lead them to the Twin Alders is the monster that shares Elspeth’s head. The Nightmare. And he’s not eager to share any longer.
Like One Dark Window, Two Twisted Crowns features beautiful atmospheric writing, enchantingly dangerous magic, and dark lore. There’s just one unexpected catch: Elspeth is not the main character of this story.
The Nightmare has always been a star of the show, at least for me. I loved the banter between him and Elsbeth in book one, as well as his penchant for talking in riddles. His presence plays an even more vital role now as readers explore his backstory and delve deeper into Blunder’s dark history.
Overall, while some may be confused or put off by the sudden change of events, Two Twisted Crowns offers readers the answers they’ve been searching for from the beginning of book one, wrapping up the story in a satisfying way.
Rated: High. Profanity includes 15 uses of strong language, 13 uses of moderate language, 42 uses of mild language, 19 uses of the British (bl-), and 6 uses of the name of Deity. There is a fair bit of violence, gore, blood, and death — including the murder of children. Sexual content includes kissing, groping, and partial undressing. There’s at least one fairly detailed sex scene. Characters contemplate sex, insinuate at being sexually active in the past, and reference the use of a contraceptive tonic.
