The first quarter of this book isn’t action packed, no, but that’s because we have to learn about the three sisters that are eventually going to be fighting to the death to become queen. So many people had so many problems with this book and said at the first quarter at least was super slow and boring? How? Then, of course, when that died down, I went to the reviews. Unless I KNEW that I was going to love it, or it was by an author I already loved, I don’t think I was venturing out too much and reading new things. I remember seeing this book when it came out and thinking it sounded interesting but at that point I had been caught up in a Sarah J Maas/ Court of Mist and Fury haze. So, ever so stupidly, I read reviews written by people that I ~usually~ share similar opinions with….that is, until they differ. Ummmmm….why had I been fooled into thinking that this series was only going to be “okay”?!?!? I always seem to get bitten on the ass when I go too deep into reviews on GR for a book or series that I discover that sounds good but doesn’t IMMEDIATELY catch my attention. I’m pissed I read it first, haha, but that’s on me. It will ruin a pretty major thing that you find out at the end of this book. **DISCLAIMER** Do NOT read the novellas until you finish with this fist book.

The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.

And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.īut becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth.

Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born-three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Three Dark Crowns ( Three Dark Crowns #1)
