Book Review: Three Dark Crowns

This review contains SPOILERS.

I’m not going to lie. This book tore me.

Three Dark Crowns by Kendra Blake is a story I had not read before. It is the story of three sisters, separated at a young age, who must kill each other to win the crown of the kingdom. Each sister has her own power. There’s Mirabella the elemental, Katherine the poisoner, and Arsione who is a naturalist.

This book has a very slow beginning. I liked how each chapter was a different persons perspective, it gave me an insight into the world. However I felt that the story could have picked up faster in the beginning. It’s hard in a fantasy novel to not explain the world and everything that happens in it.

But the story picks up for me after Mirabella runs away. This to me is when the story begins. Honestly as I made my way through the ending when the three sisters finally meet, I thought about giving up on the book. As interesting as it was to me, it barely held my interest.

But the ending…

OMG

First we get Zombie Katherine. Like OH MY GOD. I honestly saw her dying from the beginning of the book. And I saw Pietyr doing what he did. But the Goddess rising her from that pit? Oh my god.

And the whole thing with Arsione. It makes so much sense now. Why she never could get a familiar. Does this mean that Katherine is the naturalist? It would make sense with her snake. But why were they switched? Who did it?

I did not like Joseph as much as I thought. I’m never a fan of love triangles, especially this one. Joesph claims to love Jules but always goes to save Mirabella. Is this because of the spell? Or is it something else?

I feel like there are still a lot of questions about the world that need to be answered. Is it in our world or a separate one? Where do the old queens go? Who is the Goddess and what is her game?

The ending of this book saved it for me. I give the book a 7 out of ten stars. I am looking forward to the next one and to see where these characters go. I wonder who will sit on the Dark Throne.

Let me know what you thought of it and what your favorite part was!

2017: New Year, New Blog

Hello Everyone! I know this blog has been dead for months and I apologize for that. 2016 was a hard year for me and everything I wanted to do with this blog went down hill. So I've decided that 2017 will be the revamp for this blog. So what does that entail? First of all I will be doing a lot more book reviews. I will be have a highlighted book of the month but will also try to read some books on the side. January's book is going to be "London Belongs to Me" By Jacquelyn Middleton. The review will be up on January 20th so be ready for some discussion of the book. Secondly I will try to post at least every other day. These posts will be book/writing related. If you have any suggestions for posts or any questions feel free to message me and let me know! See you for now!

Almost

He was my almost. I was his passing thought. Maybe, once upon a time, we could have been forever. But this isn’t a fairytale, though we love to discuss them. I thought…maybe. Maybe he’s the one. Maybe this emptiness will finally be filled. But I was wrong. Or maybe I was right? Because it is filled now. Filled with the memories we’ll never share. Filled with the “I love you” that was never said. Filled with the shattering hope that someone actually cared. Maybe I was his almost and he my always. But now we are nothing but still.

That was her problem. She had so much love to give away, but people just passed her by. She forgave too easily, tried too hard, and believed too many lies. She ruined herself by giving second chances. So much love, yet so much emptiness. So much to give away, and no one to return it.
