"After the battle with Katharine, the rebellion lies in tatters. Juless legion curse has been unbound, leaving her out of her mind and unfit to rule. Arsinoe must find a cure, even as the responsibility of stoping the ravaging mist rests heavy on her shoulders, and her shoulders alone. Mirabella has disappeared.
Queen Katharine's rule over Fennbirn remains intact- for now. But her attack on the rebellion exacted a high price: her beloved Pietyr. Without him, who can she rely upon when Mirabella arrives, seemingly under a banner of truce? As oldest and youngest circle each other, and Katharine begins to yearn for the closeness that Mirabella and Arsinoe share, the dead queens hiss caution- Mirabella is not be trusted.
In the conclusion to the Three Dark Crowns series, three dark sisters will rise to fight as the secrets of Fennbirn's history are laid bare. Allegiance will shift. Bonds will be tested, and some broken forever.
The fate of the island lies in the hand of its queens."
My Rating: 4.5/5
I can't believe that this riveting series is actually over. And what an ending at that. I've been reading this series for a while now and have grown so attached to different characters as well as the island of Fennbirn itself, although sometimes growing fearful of the same characters and atmosphere. Kendare Blake's writing is truly transportive and it puts you at the heart of the story of this island, filled with magical abilities, warring politics and dynamic characters. The only reason that I ended up docking .5 stars is the ending wasn't all I hoped for. I just had envisioned it going a completely different direction and while it was good to be surprised, for myself personally it did fall al little flat. I hope to continue reading works by this author and hope to revisit this world often.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
