𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 -𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 - 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴
Atmospheric, eerie and dark fantasy duology. A perfect read for those dark autumn nights 🍁
The worldbuilding is simplistic, but it has all the necessery parts and there is no need for anything more. The magic is unique! It may not be my favourite magic system by any means, but I haven't read anything similar before. And what about the plot! Plotting success!
I am kinda sad that I didn't really love any of the characters. And the romantic subplots were a little meh. The only relationship that really intrigued me was the one between Elspeth and the Nightmare.
If this would have been more adult and less YA, I think this duology would have had the potential to become one of my favourites. Because the more grimdark the better.
Objectively speaking this duology is really good and you should read it too, if you haven't already!
I recommend if you like:
🌫 eerie atmosphere
🕷 magic with a cost
🤍 romance
🕸 darkness within

📓 Rachel Gillig: Two Twisted Crowns (Little, Brown Book Group, 2023)
