Twin Crowns follows two sisters separated at birth, both on separate paths to ensure their rightful place on the throne of Eana.

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. The authors have created a simple, uncomplicated YA royal fantasy with well written characters which were brought to life even more so by the wonderful narrators.

The story was full of magical charm, wit, adventure, romance, witches and a wolf.

I loved the dynamics between the sisters Wren and Rose as well as their counterparts throughout.

I can't wait to read the 2nd and 3rd books in the series but would definitely consider the audiobooks if they had the same narrators because they made this an absolute joy to listen to.

Thank you Netgallery for the audiobook ARC

This was a fantastic and magical audiobook of lost Twin Sisters.

I thought it was so clever how they told the story of the different sisters with the different voice actors.

Set in a magical world where the witches have been banished after a horrible war year ago , after a witch murdered the then king and queen of the Kingdom.

Nearly 18 years later their daughter, Princess Rose is set to take the crown and become Queen. Until her long lost twin sister Wren kidnaps her and takes her place using her magic.

There are so many twists and turns throughout this story. Secrets are revealed and both sister find themselves and each other.

This is the first book in a trilogy and can't wait to continue this story!

Twin Crowns has been on my TBR for years, having originally picked up a paperback copy from work a few years ago. However due to University and personal life struggles, I was unable to pick it up. So when I saw it out on Audiobook I jumped at the chance. Twin Criwns is a fun YA fantasy story with strong female leads, sisterhood, friendship, magic, politics and romance.

I enjoy both Wren and Rose, and the two authors managed to seamlessly merge their chapters and each twins pov together in a way that made me constantly forget that this was written by two different people.

I'm excited to continue my journey through this series, and for once on here I don't have to wait beyond waiting for my next trip to the bookstore. The narration was good as well.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK Audio for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

I really enjoyed this fantasy novel. I can definitely see why it's so hyped and beloved. The concept were interesting and the executing didn't disappoint. The magic system, the sisters' relationship and romance was so good all of it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

This reminded me of princess and pauper but where both the female protagonists have magic and control on them. Both are princess, one is up in front of the public while other is in disguise.
The concept is wonderful and the writing is beautiful. The authors have done a wonderful job bringing in this wonderful old tale but with a twist. Looking forward to read the next two parts in this series.

I've been meaning to pick up Twin Crowns for so long, so when I saw it out on audiobook I jumped at the chance. This was a fun YA fantasy rom-com with strong female leads, bonds of sisterhood and friendship, witches and politics.

I loved both Wren and Rose's characters, and their development throughout the story. I had forgotten there were two authors until the end, and was so surprised they each wrote a twin's chapters, as they came together so seamlessly. It had a bit of a feel of a classic fairytale, but with many more winding plot points, sass, and complications. I enjoyed so many of the characters (and their counterparts), and the villain was appropriately horrid.

Given the ending, I'm really looking forward to pick up the next book in the series (and happy I don't have to wait!). The narration was great, making it really easy to follow the different storylines throughout the book. The character voices were easily discernible, and they did an excellent job bringing to life Wren's gumption and Rose's sass.

Thank you HarperCollins UK Audio and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

I can’t believe I waited so long to read this book, it is perfect. Twin Crowns is the perfect YA fantasy with dual point of view and enchanting characters. I can’t wait to discover more about the word and see how Wren and Rose grow as sisters and as monarchs.

Audiobook review: I listened to the audiobook read out by Ann Marie Gideon and Ell Porter, and they portrayed the twins so well. They really made the story even more enjoyable and made it felt like I was living it.

Summary: Wren Greenrock, destined to usurp her sister's throne, seeks power to safeguard her beloved witch community. Meanwhile, Princess Rose Valhart faces marriage duties in a harsh kingdom, discovering a wilder life beyond the palace walls. These twin sisters, raised apart, are about to unravel each other's destinies.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook ARC of this book, all thoughts are my own.

Twin Crowns by Katherine Webber and Catherine Doyle (AARC)
Narrated ByL Anne Maire Gideon and Ell Potter
Rating: 4/5
Tropes: Witches, Dual POV, Slow Burn.

This is honestly one of the best audiobooks that I have listened to this year. The narration was on point and kept me entertained throughout.

Twin Crowns follows twin sisters, Rose and Wren, who were separated at birth. Rose is the heir to the throne and was raised to believe that witches were the enemy. Wren, on the other hand, was raised a secret, her destiny to take the throne and protect the witches.

This was a thrilling read. I loved how the sisters, each with their own narration, were so similar but completely different at the same time. The book was well written leaving me excited to jump into the next instalment.

Thanks to HarperCollins UK Audio | Electric Monkey via NetGalley for giving me a chance to listen to the first book of Twin Crowns by Katherine Webber and Catherine Doyle for a fair and honest review

This book was a pleasure to listen to. Appreciated how the characters had slightly different voices. Well done to the readers!
Although the initial story plot didn't seem very original to me, I really enjoyed this book. Even more than I thought. The narration is very fluid.
Wren is smart and ambitious, but she seemed as blindly trustful towards her "family" as Rose at the beginning. Rose's first POVs with Shen were ridiculous (in a good way) which made them funny. Truly, I didn't expect so much humor. She is so brainwashed and arrogant that it sometimes gets annoying but it fits her story in a way. I was happy she didn't abandon the throne, showing the same determination as her sister.
I liked how the twins develop a relationship without being with each other and how the love interests aren't their priority. Both romances are introduced really fast which isn't bad because it doesn't let the reader get bored. I definitely had a preference for Wren and Thor because I loved Thor's personality (and the wolf!). However, both dynamics were good. I have to say the witchcraft might have been my favorite part. Celeste is a wonderful character and Anika, intriguing. I HATE Alarick (which was the authors intended, I think).
Multiple dialogues and scenes made me think this would make a good movie. I can't wait to read the next book.

(Will post a review on Instagram next week)

I have totally adored this story. I binged it in one sitting. It is a little more juvenile than I'm usually used to, but that made a nice change and I will definitely be recommending my 13yo daughter reads it.

I love that the dual perspectives of the 2 sisters was clear and precise, making the story easy to follow. The romance plots follow a nice timeline also and isn't rushed and heavy

I will definitely be reading the next book.

This was so good?? It started off pretty standard and I didn’t really care about the characters, I was also very sceptical about the dual timelines/POVs but omg???? It was surprisingly good, the romances were FANTASTIC, the sisters’ relationship worked so well and felt so natural the way it developed. The plot was pretty standard but it was a fun time I really enjoyed it- Wren and Rose both had surprising wit and their sarcasm made me laugh. I will definitely be picking up book2 when it comes out in audio also!

This was such an enjoyable experience. The story follows twin sisters. One who is oblivious to the truth of her and her kingdom's history and the other who was on a mission to set right the wrongs of the past.

The opening scene left me intrigued, and the banter throughout the book had me smiling. The characters (barr a few, who I won't name) were relatable and instantly likeable.

Told in dual POV only added to the story.

The narration was tip notch. It was easy to define who's POV I was hearing. Though they sounded similar in nature, it was clear from their personalities and how they spoke. The supporting characters also had clear voices that reflected their personality.

This book had the feel of a classic fairytale but also offered so much more!!

I just finished Twin Crowns audiobook and I LOVED IT!
First of all, the I loved that this story is told through dual perspectives with different voice actors for Rose and Wren. The sisters, although twins, share very different lifestyles and personalities which kept the story really interesting.

While I loved Wren's fiery nature and was invested in her mission to save the witches, I also really enjoyed reading about Rose's experience as her world is turned upside down and she goes on a journey of self discovery. I am invested in both characters now and already want to pick up book 2 to find out what happens and see if Rose becomes the badass I believe she will be!

Also, the romance for a YA book was *chef's kiss* so good! The yearning!! The fact that we get two love stories in one! Amazing

Twin Crowns is told through dual perspectives intertwined; one from Rose, an uppity sheltered princess who lives a life of plush four-poster beds and lavender bubble baths and Wren, her crafty and brash long-lost sister who was stolen as a baby and raised by a coven of witches.

Therefore, there are two coinciding love stories and journeys of self discovery. I definitely thought the fiery Wren was the more charismatic and interesting of the twins, as I found Rose' naivety a little irritating at times. I really appreciated that there were two narrators, each representing a different sibling. Both captured the essence of their FMC perfectly and the helped the story flow effortlessly.

I would have appreciated more time learning about the traditions and legacy of the witches, hopefully this is an aspect of the story that is explored further in the sequel.

This dialogue was a bit more juvenile than I was expecting, however I really enjoyed this enchanting tale full of lavish balls, doting animal sidekicks, ancient prophecies and palace secrets. I'm looking forward to continuing the series.

This book started off very slow but picked up a lot at the end, I’m glad I stuck with it.
The plot was interesting however some of the characters just fell flat, and were kinda insufferable. I will be reading the sequel as the ending was interesting but I wish the first half of this book wasn’t so slow, I hope that some of the characters grow on me more.

4.5
I just finished reading Twin Crowns, and I have to say, I absolutely loved it! This book has everything I look for in a YA Fantasy Romance novel - swoon-worthy romance, a captivating plot, and dynamic characters.

Although I regret not reading it sooner, I am thrilled that the sequel is just a couple of days away from being released. I can't wait to continue this epic journey with the characters I've grown to love.

Overall, I highly recommend Twin Crowns to any fan of the genre. It's a perfect combination of heart-pumping action and romantic tension, and I'm sure it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Unfortunately this was a DNF for me.
Maybe my time with YA is coming to an end but this just didn’t grip me the way others have.
I’m sure it’s a great read for many but I’ve tried a few times across audio and book format and couldn’t stick to this.

I had high expectations for this, and it was good, but not as good as I hoped. The setting didn't feel as vibrant as some of the other fantasy that I've read recently. I really liked the characters and the magic system though, so while I was a little disappointed, I really did enjoy the book.

One of the best things about this book was that I couldn't see what the characters would do next. The ending was completely unpredictable for me. I'm really interested to see what happens in the next book because the ending really changed things for the plot.

I think I liked Wren better than Rose, but I think that's because Rose is a bit more sheltered. I love a tough girl who can defend herself, it's just part of my preference. I think now that Rose knows more about the world around her, she'll feel a little less innocent.

A great read for people who like a good story and a good princess switch!

I really loved the story and the audiobook. Highly recommended it. The story is sweet and intriguing, the characters are great (tho I didn't like Rose) and I fell for Tor. Can he look at me and talk to me and want me like he looks at, talks to and wants Wren? Please??
Can't wait to continue with this series.

I had high hopes for Twin Crowns, but they were dashed and splintered to smithereens. The book reads as discount Black Trillium (the 1990s series by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton) and frustrated me endlessly. Wren is a wretched, infuriating character, and although I like characters with flaws, it felt like narrative excused all of her poor, idiotic choices. Rose was my one saving grace, but even she could not carry this book for me. DNFed at 61%.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an e-ARC copy of this book, in exchange for this honest review.
