Two Dark Reigns
by Kendare Blake
"The truth of you is yet to come . . . I know only that you were once a queen and may be again." ~ [b:Two Dark Reigns|37486213|Two Dark Reigns (Three Dark Crowns, #3)|Kendare Blake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1518542871l/37486213._SY75_.jpg|56756327]
Katharine is still my favorite, Mirabella and Arsinoe's sisterhood is everything, the mainland sucks, I miss Natalia, Emilia is venomous, and Braddock the bear continues to be the real hero of this series.
In the previous book, [b:One Dark Throne|29923707|One Dark Throne (Three Dark Crowns, #2)|Kendare Blake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1487862160l/29923707._SY75_.jpg|50306201], it was easy to see why everyone had stopped stanning Katharine. However, in this novel, the reader gets a sense of how much Katharine DOES NOT WANT TO BE EVIL. My heart broke every time she said she wanted to be a "good queen" and all she wanted was for her island to be at peace. Ohmygosh this girl is trying SO HARD to be a hero, not a villain, but she can never catch a break! Pietyr is the only person giving her a chance. Katharine's storyline reminds me so much of Anakin Skywalker. Similar to Katharine, Anakin has evil voices tempting him down the wrong path. He tries to save his wife, just like Katharine tries to have a good relationship with her sisters, but both are doomed by everyone else.
After reading this book, I believe Emilia displays all the traits of a toxic friend/unhealthy relationship. She steers Jules clear of all her friends and family, always tells Jules she is wrong and dismisses everything Jules has to say. Everyone ships Jules x Emilia and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Emilia has some good intentions but I believe her to be very harmful. If Emilia had been a male character exhibiting these traits, she would have been called out by now. At the start of the book, I just about screamed when Emilia told Jules to abandon Camden/not take her familiar everywhere. Just because Emilia has a crush on Jules that gives her the right to tell her to abandon her pet?! I don't think so. Honestly, all my favorite moments in the book were when Mirabella, Arsinoe, and Billy hung out and worked together.
