I think this is a GREAT beginners fantasy book. It’s not complex and it’s easy to read and follow. Although, I did forget some characters and their positions since there are a lot of supporting characters per queen. This entire book is…

I absolutely love love LOVED THIS BOOK. One of my favourites in FOREVER. I was hooked into the story from the first page and I couldn't stop reading. The whole mythology of the witches was fascinating, and I was so invested in all three of…

Wow, this book competly sucks and I usually like all books. All the characters personalities aren’t described very well and I hate all the characters. Nothing very exciting happens and it is hard to remember what happened to which…

I am really eager to see how this story continues. The characters are all so compelling: angry and vengeful in one moment, compassionate and hopeful in the next, and the premise is intriguing. I feel so invested in everyone's lives, I am…

Honestly, I've put off reading this for a while, thinking it's another fight for the crown like so many YA fantasy have been lately. After reading so many positive reviews I had to give it a go, and it turns out they were right. So the…

I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys rivalries and supernatural powers. If you are looking for something more political, this isn't the series for you. The plot revolves around triplets who are being pushed to…

Characters: 4/10 Plot: 6/10 Writing: 7/10 I'm still not sure what to make of this book. True to the title, it was very dark--almost too dark for me. There were so many gruesome things. The whole culture is basically a massive abusive…

Written well, love the cover, interesting storyline. I just wish the twist was more difficult to spot.

Such an amazing book!! Don't be unmotivated by the slow beginning, there are a lot of characters and you need time to understand and link them, but once you do everything comes to place and you feel as one of them... The ending is by far…

Not quite understand the hype of the book. the story rolls out between the three queen to be sisters. Of course, there will be conflicts and conspiracy. However, the story lines didn't fell together until the last 30 pages of the story.…

Three Dark Crowns has an interesting premise and plot. I was excited when I first picked it up, but it turns out that this book fell short of my expectations. The summary got me hyped, but the book itself? Mehhh... There's too much…

This book is told from the viewpoints of all three sisters. You can sympathize with their trials and their desire to help their people, but you can also see how they are all being manipulated by legend, their teachers, their people and the…

I found this book to be a very interesting concept. I enjoyed discovering the disturbing and surreal world of Fennbirn; it was so well developed that it feels as though I’ve been there. Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, the author…
