I'm done reading twin crowns, and I really like it🤭🩷so I kinda couldn't help myself but look at fanarts,and i discovered Alarik is a love interest to wren? (like they were more fanart of him than tor)..i don't know how to feel about it bro was terrible in the first book😭 but I guess you shouldn't judge from the first book 😔
I'm scared to like him actually (cuz I spoiled myself who she ended up with)
Anyway as long as rose and shen end up together I'm happy 🤭🩷

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 📖:
𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 is the first of two standalone spinoff novels set in the world of the bestselling 𝑻𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒔 trilogy by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber.
While it’s a loving spotlight on a fan-favorite character from the trilogy, you don’t need to have read the original books to dive into this magical, high-stakes adventure (though I highly recommend them!).
With unforgettable characters, breathtaking romance, and an enchanting world, 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 sets sail on April 24th, 2025. Will you be joining the journey?⚓✨️
🌊 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 🌊
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐢: The dashing captain of the 𝘚𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵, Marino is a man of the sea through and through, but his heart aches for something more. When his beloved sister falls gravely ill, he sets off on a perilous journey, desperate to find a cure. But as time runs out, Marino sails farther than ever before, only to lose his ship in a devastating wreck. Stranded on Solvora, a mysterious island kingdom cursed to keep anyone from leaving or arriving, Marino's survival is thanks to a curious savior—a mermaid whose presence lingers in his thoughts, like a song he cannot forget.
𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐚 🧜🏻♀️: A creature of the sea, Kira and her mer sisters have long been at odds with the people of Solvora. But when a shipwrecked captain falls into her waters, something about him calls to her in a way she’s never felt before. Against her sisters’ warnings, she defies their rules to save Marino. As their paths intertwine, Kira begins to feel emotions she never thought possible: yearning, curiosity, and a desire as deep as the ocean itself. But why does the captain keep searching for her, even as he’s drawn into the world on the island?
𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐧 🥖: Born and raised in Solvora, Lana has never set foot outside the cursed kingdom. A self-made baker running her own shop, Lana dreams of a world beyond the shores of her island. When Marino stumbles into her bakery with tales of a sister in need and a quest for magic, Lana sees her chance. She agrees to help him find the cure for his sister and solve the mystery of Solvora’s curse—on one condition: once the curse is lifted, she wants a place on his crew. As they embark on a dangerous quest together, Lana and Marino uncover secrets about the island’s magic, the true nature of its king, and if their meeting was mere chance—or something far more fateful.
Three lives intertwined like the threads of a sailor’s knot. The ocean whispers secrets to those who listen, and beneath the surface of their journey, there is something untold—something waiting to be uncovered. Who guides whom, and what role does the sea play in their tangled fates? ⚓️✨️
Excited today for Burning Crowns!!! I can’t wait to find out the final conclusion. And most of all, I want Wren and Tor to be endgame😩 I’m a little nervous about that tho :))
“Rose wished her sister were here to see this. What would her life have been like, having fierce and fearless Wren always next to her? Anger flared inside her, as hot as the flames crackling in their cages.”
Thinking about rereading Twin Crowns because I miss Rose and Wren 😭
a quick review on twin crowns and cursed crowns:
they are very fast books. on the one hand, it's very good because i was able to pick up the reading very easily and the story progresses in a very interesting way. on the other hand, i feel that several scenes lack depth and details that better built later events.
about the characters: i love wren! she's a character who loves very deeply and goes to great lengths for what she loves and believes in, and o really like her spirit. i'm looking forward to seeing how her story with alarik and tor ends, and i don't even know who i'm rooting for in this triangle. i love them both, but i think i'm leaning more towards alarik because i think he suits wren better maybe. however, their construction is SO subpar that you won't really realize until the end of the book that there's something going on. i expected there to be more hints of their attraction, or them being a little less enemies and more lovers, but it doesn't happen. tor was interesting in the first book and has a good build with wren. in the second, he has an appearance that, for me, was a little irrelevant. it doesn't bring them closer and it doesn't push them away.
i really like rose, although she acts entitled the whole book and is a little annoying. i know she was raised to be a queen but she is selfish and spoiled at times. other than that, she is amazing. she is very sweet at the same time that she is very firm in her decisions. her romance with shen is well built in the first book, but because it was VERY fast, i feel that in the second, their relationship was very lukewarm and again, it happened too fast.
i give 4/5 stars to both books because i think the authors could slow down and develop the problems more. the universe is very interesting and is super well built!
Avery and Jamie..i love you guys, but i fear Shen and Rose might be replacing you..
