3 dulogies you need to read

By Eli on August 9, 2025August 20, 2025

Duologies: for when you don’t want to comit to a series. These 3 duologies all got 5 stars from me. Good pace, good plots, good character development and love stories – what more could you want?


Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson

When Kazi, a former street thief with something to prove, meets Jase, the young leader of an outlaw dynasty, their own secrets brings them intimately together in a battle that may cost them their lives–and their hearts.


The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli

Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can’t help but find herself falling for.


Six of crows by Leigh Bardugo

Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone.
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first.

Disclaimer: These are just my personal thoughts – totally okay if you feel differently! I’m a mood reader, so timing and vibes definitely affect how much I enjoy a book. I read for entertainment, not to analyze every line like a literature professor. So take this as a casual opinion from one booklover to another. ❤️

I love reading book reviews and seeing how stories hit differently for different people. So I’m adding my voice to the mix, and hopefully one of my posts will be the one that makes sense of a story for you - or helps you find your next favorite read.📚
