About the Book:
Not even death can tell them apart.
Not even death can tell them apart.
In the wild and lush kingdom of Twinsbane, everyone has a look-alike, and each twin is cursed to die when their double breathes their last. When an ancient plague arises, the kingdom’s only hope is to sever these deadly ties. Yet King Daccias refuses to relinquish the cure, a legendary potion called the Separator.
Waruu, an orphan determined to break these ties, discovers he’s the king’s doppelgänger. He’s certain that if he can switch places, he can save the kingdom. But if anyone learns his true identity, he’ll lose everything—including the people he’s desperately trying to protect.
King Daccias wants nothing more than for his subjects to cease threatening to behead him if he doesn’t hand over the Separator. Intent on catching those opposing him, he finds himself ensnared in his own trap. If he doesn’t break loose, the kingdom will rest in the hands of an insolent boy who knows nothing about the truth behind the events unfolding around him.
To save their kingdom, both Waruu and Daccias must face their greatest enemy—each other.
The Review
Oh my goodness! This was soooo good…like so good! You have all the humor of The False Prince mixed with all the heart and crazy world building of something like The Wingfeather Saga! Yet, entirely new and fresh and its own thing! I love it!
Characters:
Our main characters are Waruu – a rebel and troublemaker, and I love him so much! How he struggles with the past and trying to decide what the right thing to do is. *hugs*
Daccias is the other MC, and he’s struggling to rule a kingdom, and he’s so stubborn and sarcastic… I love him! Him and Waruu are both excellent characters!
I also loved Aalinta and Sydney and Brissbane and Victooria and Banjoo! All such fantastic characters!
Themes:
Strands of loss, loneliness, and doing the right thing even when it’s hard. Beautiful, and I can’t wait to see how book 2 pans out!
Romance:
Picking up that two characters like each other, and it’s cute!
Magic:
A tonic that never runs out and is said to sever the bond between doubles.
Violence/Gore:
Fighting, kidnapping. lying, there are some injuries, including cuts, burns, and a sickness that cracks people apart… We’re never given gruesome details on that.
Overall:
This was a fantastic book! one that both boys and girls will love! Always a bonus when I can say boys will enjoy it…lol…
It’s hilarious and heartwarming! An adventure well worth the having!
Recommend ages 14+
Conclusion:
So, what do you think? Have you read this book? If not, head over to Amazon to snag a steal of a deal on the hardcover! We highly recommend it!
