Magnificent series
I don't even know where to begin. I so thoroughly enjoyed this series. It takes a brilliant writer to create such an excellent believable world. Well, I guess two in this case.I honestly enjoyed every chapter of these 3 books. The plots are amazing, the writing entrancing and the characters are loveable. Just a warning, some spoilers below **I much preferred Wren's chapters and perspectives more than Rose's. I liked both characters, but I found Wren's chapters to be so much more exciting. Rose has a certain morality and uptightness to her that made her a little boring. Wren is a little wild and I loved it.I love that both sisters got their happy endings and had romances of their own. Again, I preferred Wren's romance over Rose's. Her tantalising love triangle was so much more intriguing and complex. I was a complete hopeless fool for Tor, what a brilliant sexy wrangler he was. And I genuinely felt torn between Tor and Alarik. The icy king was such a softie inside, and I loved that Wren brought that out of him. And I thank the STARS that neither guy was killed off at the end. I often find in romantic fantasy books like these with love triangles, that one love interest gets killed for the other 2 to live happily ever after. I'm such a sucker for romance and happy endings. A part of me wished Wren could get her happy end with both men. But inside, I knew it was going to be Tor and I wasn't disappointed.I'm looking forward to Alarik's story continuing. Although I will find it hard to see Alarik ending up with someone other than Wren. She really brought out the goodness from him and I can't imagine him shaking off his icy frost for anyone else. I feel like I'll be comparing his new love interest to her constantly. I am so happy he survived though.One thing that irritated me was that we got to witness Rose's wedding to Shen, and yet not Wren's to Tor. I would've much preferred that wedding. Don't get wrong, I love Rose and Shen as a couple, but I just preferred the torturous angst and excitement that came with Wren's romance.Back to the plot, apologies for the tangent.Hm, I'm wondering why I'm writing such a long review on the last book, it's not like anyone will be reading this book first. I should've written my review on the first book, but I figured any spoilers here would be okay as you'll have already read the first 2 books.Plot: it's very easy to get ensnared in the storyline, easy to understand with a few twists I saw coming. I actually found a lot of the book predictable, but that doesn't bother me at all.Anyways, I don't know why you're reading the review of the third book. Reading the first 2 should be enough to make you leap to open the third book without even reading the blurb. Now hurry, keep reading!Sorry for the rambling. This book gets 10 stars!!

Witch mark
Third and final volume in the Twin Crowns fantasy novel series. First book was called Twin Crowns.This is not a jumping on point. New readers start with Twin Crowns. Regular ones, read on.This one runs for four hundred and fifty seven pages. It has a map of the setting at the start. Fifty six chapters. Which alternate between the two lead characters as the viewpoint one. It always tells you who it is in each one.It does bring the story of the trilogy to a close.After the end of book two, the girls rule the kingdom. But their evil ancestor is coming. Both of them have to deal with their romantic feelings for certain individuals. Whilst Wren and Alarik have been cursed. What will result? And can anyone stand against Oonagh?Very satisfying stuff. As readable as ever. The two leads are different enough as characters thanks to their separate issues in order to stand out. This does get going right from the off also, which book two did take a short while to do.This one structures it's plot really well also. There's enough happening early on such that it doesn't deal with the main issue right away. And yet that plotline is always developing at it's own pace. Till it comes into focus at just the right time.Everything is character driven and the choices they all make feel very believable. The romances work because the characters have great chemistry. The final quarter does do a good epic finale to things. Working it's main issue out in a rather clever and satisfying manner.And it does bring the story to an end. Very well indeed. All resolved perfectly.All stories do end. So you might not want this one to. But it ends fine.A very satisfying and enjoyable read, which is what this series has strived to be from the off. I'm glad I was with it all the way.The back of the book does promise more to come this world, though. Here's hoping. I will look out for it.

Must Read Series
This is book 3 in the Twin Crown series. My favourite was book 1 and 2 but book 3 is not bad just not as good as the first two. BUT I would still highly recommend this series - perfect for young kids, young adults. I love all the characters. Author writes really well, lots of word building.

Enchanting
Good read on its own, but far better as part of the trilogy of this enchanting tale. Pure escapism for any age that enjoys a bit of magic in their lives, thoroughly enjoyed this amazing roller coaster of a cleverly spun story. Would recommend.

Good conclusion
I liked this series, and while sometimes it was a bit samey, like, in the format of them travelling to one place only for them to have to travel back, and then on to somewhere else etc. I liked the characters a lot and the way they interacted.
