Series: Three Dark Crowns

Every generation, three triplets are born, each with different powers of their own and shipped off to foster families. Mirabella is the strongest with the power to control the weather and call lightning down from above. Katherine is poisoner, able to engulf the deadliest of poisons, but her gift is weak, leaving her to put on a facade. Arsinoe, a naturalist, with the ability to conjure any flower or plant in the palm of her hand, except she can't, she is giftless.

After their sixteenth birthday, the triplets are supposed to meet, see their suitor, prepare to fight each other to the death for the crown.

Who will win?

To be honest, y'all, I didn't expect to love this book. I mean, you see all these reviews about how slow the pacing is and it makes you want to turn the other way.

Well, don't.

Please, don't.

ITS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY, THE ENDING IS WORTH IT!

I was skeptical while reading this, and I was afraid I would have not been invested enough to enjoy the end, but all that faded away once the ending came. The drama builds up, the pacing speeds up, and the tension intensifies. I cannot tell y'all how much this is worth it. And this not just about three queens training to fighting to the death. Oh, no, no, no. There's betrayal, assassination attempts, love, secret schemes, and revenge! By far my favorite queen is Katherine, she is meek and abused but she never really loses hope. My least favorite is Mirabella. THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS A MOVIE, PLS!

AND I GET WHY EVERYONE HATES JOESPH NOW! (He cheats on his girlfriend Jules, with Mirabella twice and saves her!)
