Midnight’s Twins

Londoner Fern King and her twin brother Ollie have just discovered Annwn, a dream world where dreams and nightmares come to life. Annwn is a mirror of Fern’s real world in London. They soon discover that Annwn is full of dangers and the nightmares are growing stronger.

Midnight’s Twins is a debut novel and the first in a trilogy. With strong characters and amazing world building I was hooked from the beginning and can’t wait for the next in the series! The detail of the world building is impeccable. I was fully immersed and invested throughout. The relationship between twins, Ollie and Fern, is fraught with tension and I found myself going back and forth between who I supported. Between tense battles, friendships are being built and so there is a hint of coming of age about this story.

Overall, this was a fantastic YA fantasy with diverse and interesting characters. We meet fae, angels and other mythical creatures – and the fantastic world building deserves a second mention!
