This was a great finale to the Twin Crown trilogy. Both Wren and Rose's narratives were intriguing from start to finish and I loved seeing their sisterly bond grow as they fought for their reign. The only thing I didn't quite like was who Wren ended up with since it made the love triangle completely unnecessary. Thank you NetGalley for an ARC.

Burning Crowns is the final book in The Twin Crowns trilogy, and it has everything you could want in a finale. Characters' lives are at stake, there are romantic complications, and there are plenty of heartwarming moments while Wren and Rose are battling their ancestors. Though these two sisters did not know that each other existed at the start of this series, one knew all about their witchy ancestry. One did not. They come together over these two books to fight for their world and to prove witches are not all evil and what you choose to do with your power that makes you good or evil. The Twin Crowns is the perfect mix of magic, romance, and drama that will make you want to stay up too late to finish this series.
These two authors are brilliant together, and I recommend watching for their next writing adventure.

I loved the cover for this book, it added to wanting to read this and so glad this was a great story. I thought the fantasy element was perfectly done and I enjoyed the characters overall. The twin element worked with what I was hoping for and glad I got to read this. Catherine Doyle; Katherine Webber write a great concept and it was executed well, I hope to read more from this team as I really enjoyed reading this. It was a great finale to this series and I'm glad I got to read this.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I want to start by saying I really loved this series. I loved how it tackled sisterhood, I found the fantasy elements to be intriguing and not overly familiar. The magic system was also similarly unique though not overly convoluted and easy to understand.

I enjoy the world building and how different Kingdoms were introduced and I especially loved the character of Wren. I found her story to be the one that continually kept me flipping the pages and flying through these books. I loved her redemption arc and watching her evolve from being vengeful to a thoughtful and caring sister.

That being said, I felt a little disappointed by one part of the story and that was the love triangle. I didn't really appreciate it when it was introduced in Book 2, though I grew to enjoy the relationship between Wren and Alarik. In this book, it felt like the love triangle was really unnecessary and not a well thought out addition.

This was such a good read! I was immediately sucked into the story and could not get enough of the characters. I went on a full emotional journey with these characters and I really enjoyed it. The book was easy to read and kept a good pace where I was never bored. I will be recommending this book to all of my friends and family.

I enjoyed the whole series a lot more than I would have thought. I somehow compared it with Zodiac Academy and there was no need to, at all.
Book three was exactly what this series needed, a worthy end. This had everything I was looking for, all loose ends were tied up.

This is still very much YA, which is fine, if you’re into that. This was definitely worth reading.

ARC complimentary by the publisher and NetGalley. Thank you so much. All opinions are my own, I was under no obligation to review.

This has everything you could want in a finale. Characters’ lives are at stake, there are romantic complications, and there are plenty of heartwarming moments and light banter and this series is know for.

Book 3 shines are much as the first (I didn’t love the sequel, so I was wary going into this book). This series, while it does read young YA, is a worthwhile venture for readers of fairy tales and fantasy romcoms.
