Twins Of Shadow by Abby Arthur is a fantasy novella about assassin twins. I was sold on the idea of the book as soon as saw the cover and read the sub-title as I am a big lover of assassins and the idea of twin brothers being that totally made me want to read it. And thankfully the book turned out to be good!
I appreciate the fact that it was a novella, which Is pretty rare for the genre where you get only these elaborate series. So you can get a taste fo the author's writing in a comparatively short piece of work which was damn quick to read. Though obviously, it came with another set of problems - the world-building and the characterisation weren't able to develop as well as they would have done in a full-length novel (there's obviously a reason why fantasy books tend to be so long.) So it won't be wrong to say that I really wished that the author would have explored the world further and given us some more character development making it a lengthier book, but well it is what it is.
Still, for a debut work, the book is pretty good, the writing decent, the characters were not overly relatable but I liked them enough to be happy to follow them on their journey and the plot was really good. So, given the length of the book, I'd definitely recommend it to all fantasy lovers.

Fun novella. It feels like an excerpt from a longer novel. It leaves you wanting to know more about the characters and their world.
