this book has EVERYTHING 🗡️ ROYALS 🗡️ MURDER 🗡️ FORBIDDEN LOVE 🗡️ SIBLING RIVALRY 🗡️ MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS wHaT mOrE cOuLd YoU wAnT?!
this novella tells one of the most unique stories i have read. every chapter kept me guessing. its loaded with suspense and tragedy but is sprinkled with some romance and comedy to keep you going. its honestly so hard to say anything about this book because of the amount of ✨t w i s t s✨ that pop up. OMG SO MANY
aND THE CHARACTERS!! each one unique and flawed but you get attached so quickly! (im a harry stan 😍) they’re all so human and hold so many dimensions that would just pile up as you read.
the royal family of Lyndermal is honestly so wild. the sibling dynamic is so good. well, not really ✨good✨…(you’ll see what i mean when you read it)
loved Esmerack/Jesme, so cute 🫶
didn’t want to give too much away in this review, but it is definitely worth your time. reading it honestly got me through daily life; i was always so excited to pick it up.
If you're reading this review, you may be wondering, "Why did she give this book 5 stars?"
Let me tell you why.
Ten in Two has a very elaborate plot, and its execution is incredible. There are so many twists and turns to this book, which I find is super entertaining. The characters are deep and complex... they feel like actual people. Every character had very unique personalities. And don't even let me get started on the sibling rivalry, because IT WAS AMAZING. As a twin, I can say that the squabbles Esme and Kat had were very realistic to what my sister and I argue about.
Also, Ten in Two keeps you on your toes. I never knew what was going to happen next, because the author kept me guessing. Constantly. Even when I thought I knew who the culprit was... I was sorely mistaken... and was happily surprised when I found out the truth. Don't you just love books like that? And, one more thing... I'm a total Jack stan. We need more farm boys like him. I also surprisingly really liked Lucas, even though at the beginning he was a very... interesting character. We love a rebellious egomaniac prince every now and then.
Anyways, I highly suggest reading this book if you are of need of a well-written novella with intriguing characters and a plot that will keep you guessing.
Congrats to Angela for publishing this! I can't wait for book 2 :)
Favourite Line-- Lucas
"[Luc] almost did want to jump off the balcony, if it didn't come with the risk of death. He didn't like death, he'd heard it was painful" (60).
