The unmissable companion side novels of Kendare Blakes Three Dark Crowns series explore deep into the mystery, magic and history of this astonishing world.
From the blurb;
'The Young Queens: Katharine, Arsinoe and Mirabella: three young queens born to fulfil their destiny - to fight to the death to win the crown. But before they were poisoner, naturalist and elemental they were children, sisters and friends.
'The Oracle Queen: There is a reason sight queens were drowned. The last one allowed to live was overcome by paranoia and false visions - driven past the brink so that she set upon the capital with bloody ruin, murdering whole houses and whole family lines without trial. Or, at least, that is how the tale is told. This is her story.'
These unmissable side novels open up a whole new world of intrigue for our understanding of Blake's characters and story arc. Creating an absolute must read to understand the full impact of the final and third novel Blakes careful decision to release these additional stories prior to the final story should not be ignored.
As we understand the power of the people on the island of Fennbirn, and the way that they affect the true outcome of the Queens trial, we go into the third and final book with more weary consideration and hope for change.
We give Queens of Fennbirn Five Stars
