Ahoy there me mateys!  This be the first book in the series and I will certainly be reading the next.  Ye follow triplet princesses who have been raised for espionage and deception.  At sixteen they are being married off to princes of neighboring kingdoms as the first step in their mother's plan to become Empress of the continent.  Though willing participants, each daughter finds unexpected circumstances in their new homes.  Can they survive without each other?  Do they want to?

The premise sounds quirky and that is why I wanted to read this.  There were problems with this book.  The sisters were at times hard to tell apart.  Despite their oh-so-amazing training, all three are naïve and don't seem to use many of the skills they supposedly know.  And the romance elements are very silly.  These things would usually be a deal breaker but I had a lot of fun nonetheless.

While the plot was quite over-the-top, I did enjoy the many curveballs that the author threw in from the very beginning.  I may have rolled me eyes a lot but I also rolled with the entertainment of it.  In fact, I didn't realize how long the book was until I had finished and looked up the page count.  I enjoyed the learning about the neighboring kingdoms and the star magic.  I really loved how the book ended and set up the future craziness.  I shouldn't have liked these book given me personal preferences but I was won over in the end.  Arrrr!  

Thank ye kindly Delacorte Press for the eArc!
