Synopsis: The battle for the Crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail?
With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before—ones that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent.
In this enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other.
Review: I felt that this book was a great filler between books 1 and 3. The book explained a lot more about the relationships after the events of book 1 and it set up a lot of items for book 3 and beyond. The character development is phenomenal and the world building is marvelous. The writing was also superb, it was like reading poetry it was so beautiful.
However, I felt like this book was hard to get into. After the amped up events in book 1 I feel like we slowed it down from 80mph to 30mph in order to explain everything and set up. I really struggled with the pacing and with all of the characters (they just confuse me, but that’s a me problem not a book problem).
Verdict: Read this to get amped up for book 3 and 4! The things set up in this book make the domino effect in book 3 worth it.
