The plot twists come fast, and I didn’t know what to expect from one page to the next. The writing makes me feel as if I’m right in the book along with the queens, feeling every intense moment. This also puts the ones closest to her in danger. As the sister with the strongest gift, she’s always been the one expected to be the Queen Crowned, but this also sets her up to have a target on her back. She’s always been the one who remembers the most about her sisters, and displays the most empathy towards them.
Mirabella seems to have changed the least throughout the series. So when an unexpected secret is revealed about someone close to her, she works hard to protect them. She never does what is expected of her, and she’s fiercely loyal to the people she cares about. I think one of the things that I liked best about Arsinoe is that she is not willing to compromise her morals, no matter what. Her character is growing on me, and the stubborn and willful traits that bothered me in book 1 are starting to be more endearing. She is no little girl who would turn into Natalia’s skirts and weep.”Īrsinoe is learning how to manage her own gift while still keeping it a secret. ‘I have endured much worse.’ She pops a berry into her mouth as her stomach starts to churn, and looks at her reflection in the mirror. “‘The pain is nothing,’ Katharine assures her, wiping her chin. She has her reasons why, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
She’s more relaxed, tougher, reckless, and has become bloodthirsty and even cruel. In the previous book, Katharine was my favorite, but she’s a totally different person in this book. My perception of the characters changed in this book. There’s something about three sixteen year old queens running wild in their quest to kill each other that is irresistible to read about. The pace of this book is a lot faster than the previous book (see my review of Three Dark Crowns here), and there’s more action going on. I was really excited to dive back into the world of the killer triplet queenss vying for the crown of Fennbirn. And Mirabella, the elemental sister thought to be the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent.įennbirn’s deadliest queens must confront the one thing standing in the way of the crown: each other. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, needs to figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off.
The battle for the crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail?
