Average rating3.9
Wren Greenrock has always known that one day she would steal her sister's place in the palace. Trained from birth to return to the place of her parents' murder and usurp the only survivor, she will do anything to rise to power and protect the community of witches she loves. Or she would, if only a certain palace guard wasn't quite so distractingly attractive, and if her reckless magic didn't have a habit of causing trouble...
Princess Rose Valhart knows that with power comes responsibility. Marriage into a brutal kingdom awaits, and she will not let a small matter like waking up in the middle of the desert in the company of an extremely impertinent (and handsome) kidnapper get in the way of her royal duty. But life outside the palace walls is wilder and more beautiful than she ever imagined, and the witches she has long feared might turn out to be the family she never knew she was missing.
Two sisters separated at birth and raised into entirely different worlds are about to get to know each other's lives a whole lot better. But as coronation day looms closer and they each strive to claim their birthright, the sinister Kingsbreath, Willem Rathborne, becomes increasingly determined that neither will succeed. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?

Enjoyable, but even with the audiobook I missed a bit of the action here and there. Some action scenes could've had more elaboration to really suck the reader into the book, instead they flew by.
Minder leuk dan dat iknhad verwacht. Was kn het begin erg verwarrend, maar werd uiteindelijk wel een goed verhaal. Kwam er wel moeilijk doorheen, omdat het soms het soms echt van hot naar her ging...
Synopsis: Twins Wren & Rose were separated at birth. Wren was raised by her grandmother in the camp of the witch's resistance, aware of her sister and prepared to one day take back the throne for her people. Rose was raised as a princess under the close guardianship of the King's Breath, unaware of her twin and sure of her future as monarch. Now the twins are about to come of age and both are determined to claim the throne and their birthright.
My Thoughts:
- I found this book a lot of fun right from the off.
- It's well-paced, with an interesting magic system.
- Two great romantic pairings, one with brilliant enemies-to-lovers energy and another with great sexual tension.
- Things are presented as quite black and white / good v evil between the King's Breath and the witches, perhaps with future books there will be some shades of grey or development of the King's Breath as he is quite a 2d villain at present
- Rose is described throughout the book as a princess, but surely she would have become Queen at the moment of her father's death, albeit one with a regent or council of regents until she was of age? That's generally the way monarchy works but it seems that she can't be Queen here until she is ‘of age'?
- Overall, the book has a really joyful feel without being overly light-hearted. It was lots of fun to read and really absorbing.
