Meren and Tabra are princesses, born twins at birth but their grandmother and years of tradition require the second born, Meren to be a body double for Tabra. A stand-in whenever danger is present, Meren replaces Tabra for her own protection. All of Meren's life her true identity and existence has been hidden from everyone, only the royal family knows that there is two princesses instead of one. But when a handsome stranger kidnaps Maren, thinking he kidnapped Tabra, the "real" princess, chaos ensues. Meren must overcome her fears and save her sister, before the real kidnapper comes to take her away.
The Liar's Crown is your typical young adult novel. It has your feisty princess with a sharp tongue, the handsome black haired bad boy with a heart of gold- all set in a fantasy built world full of magic and intrigue. If that is your type of thing, then by all means read away, but if you need a solid plot structure- something other than the romance and running in the woods, then find your reading enjoyment elsewhere. I enjoyed it, and I will be reading the second one when it comes out, but I do think it fell short on the dialogue and writing style and overall structure.
Meren is described with ""long black hair, golden skin and amber eyes"" and you can imagine Tabra has the same description. Cain, a friend of Meren's is described with ""onyx colored eyes and copper colored skin.""
Reven is just described with dark hair."
