Synopsis: In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born—three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.

Review: After hearing my friend rave about this book I finally decided to read it… well I agreed for her to vote for this book for my Friends Pick My TBR challenge. And I actually enjoyed it immensely. It was action packed and intense. The plot was intriguing and the characters were so well developed. I’m really wanting to read book 2 now!

The only issues I had with this book is that the pacing was so so slow and the book was almost over by the time we got to the main event of the book. However, since it was the first book in a series I can forgive the book for the slowness. Hopefully the other books in this series are faster!

Verdict: A slow start, but an amazing I-want-more ending!
