"Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There's also the alarming issue of whether or not her sisters are actually dead- or if they're waiting in the wings to usurp the throne.

Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a spectre they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn.

Jules, too, is in a stranger place- in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can't imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine's doorstep.

There is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed- or expected."

My Rating: 5/5

This was just another enthralling installment in the series. I love this series so much it's political, magical and dark. Everything I love from a fantasy. I especially would recommend the audiobooks the narration is beautiful and atmospheric without being over the top. I will say that upon starting out the series it is hard to keep track of the characters as each sister has their own group that comes with them. But please if anything about three sisters, a magical island and a throne that may belong to only one of them interests you I urge you to pick it up.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
