Three Dark Crowns

Three Dark Crowns, Book 1

By: Kendare Blake

Narrated by: Amy Landon

Three dark queens

are born in a glen,

sweet little triplets

will never be friends

Three dark sisters

all fair to be seen,

two to devour

and one to be Queen

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 stomach ache. 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 16, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown.

Bought the second book with 2 hours left

Wow. This is such an awesome story. Dark, conplex, political and original. I love the characters and the world created by the author. I just need to find out what happens next!
I bought the sequel before I even finished it, and I'm glad I did.

The performance is good, but all the men sound the same. Same cadence, inflictions and tone. Still not a bad narration. Still love the story!
