Week 40 Review: Grim and Oro

From Goodreads:

Two brand-new romantasy novellas bound into one deluxe, novel-length volume written from the perspectives of Grim and Oro, from #1 New York Times-bestselling author and #BookTok sensation Alex Aster

True love knows no bounds. This premium, dual-sided volume includes two complete novellas bound together to create one can't-miss collector's item. The first novella—told from Grim's perspective—gives readers insight into his past: the motivations and events that cemented his fate as Isla's eventual love interest. The second is narrated by Oro and offers a window into his complex identity: that of a king torn between desire for justice and passion for the woman he loves more than anything. Grim and Oro: Dueling Crowns Edition includes key moments from the rulers' love stories with Isla, expanded upon in their own voices.

This gorgeous dual-sided Lightlark companion book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster contains two full novellas bound together in one breathtaking package that boasts a suite of premium features:

Dual-sided slipcase with two unique cover designs

Die cuts and foil stamping in two colors on both sides of slipcase

Full-color case with illustrations on both sides

Full-color, stenciled edges

Full-color endpapers with never-before-seen illustrations

Grim and Oro is certain to thrill readers and test allegiances, leaving new and longtime fans second-guessing who they're rooting for in the breathtaking battle for Isla's heart.
