One Dark Throne: Three Dark Crowns Book 2
One Dark Throne: Three Dark Crowns Book 2 | Kendare Blake
The electrifying sequel to The New York Times-bestselling Three Dark Crowns "Gorgeous and bloody, tender and violent, precise, and passionate; above all, completely addicting." Kirkus Reviews on Three Dark Crowns The battle for the crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail? With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favour without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before - ones that put those around her in danger that she can't seem to prevent. In One Dark Throne, the enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake's The New York Times-bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn's deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other. MORE PRAISE FOR THREE DARK CROWNS "a brutal and inventive fantasy that is as addictive as it is horrifying ... I'm salivating like poisoners at a feast to find out what will happen next." Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar Chronicles "With exquisite world building and luminous detail, this is high fantasy at its best." Booklist (starred review) "The opener to a pitch-black epic fantasy series. Blake has constructed an insular, matriarchal society from convincing intimate details, vivid, complicated characters, [and] sumptuous, poetic prose. Gorgeous and bloody, tender and violent, precise, and passionate; above all, completely addicting." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

But when she looks, Jules and the island are gone. The mist of Fennbirn has disappeared, and where it was only moments ago there is only the sea, clear and sparkling.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 170.

Finished it in a day - it's a fun series that every character has gripped me. It reads a bit YA high school y but I find that's common in fantasy books and it's an enjoyable series

This was an amazing read. It definitely lives up to the hype of the first book. It was full of so many twists. It is truly an exciting book. I couldn‘t put this book down, I had to know what would happen next. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished two audiobooks today, Cinnamon and Gunpowder is a re-listen, and the tagged book is second in a series my ex‘s teen daughter enjoyed and recommended. The premise is creative: triplet queens, each with a gift that determines the clan that rears her, have to participate in a ritual where one must kill the other two in order to be crowned. My main complaint is how heteronormative (and lots of romance/betrothal plot lines so it‘s noticeable).

Yo, Kat is getting wild! I still love her— she is my fav and I just want her to be happy. (I mean, obviously she‘s evil, but I‘d argue it‘s not her fault!) The sisters keep dueling to see who‘s going to win the crown, with each of them believing they‘re all against the other. Good read- now on to part 3! 7/10

This book knocked me for a loop. Nothing happened the way I expected in the best way. I loved every second of it. The queens have this bond between them that is indescribable and it really shines in this installment.

So I had to a read a summary of the first book because I couldn't remember 😂 once I got probably halfway through, I couldn't put it down! Katharine is now ready to kill EVERYONE! Arsinoe and Mirabella don't want to kill each other, but understand the threats aren't going to stop until someone wins. The driving forces are really the girl's entourages, who cannot wait to fulfill the traditions that come with the ascension year.

Second in a YA fantasy series recommended to me by my nephew. It's set in a world where three queens battle to the death for the crown (and the opportunity to bear three daughters who will someday battle to the death, etc...) Mixed feelings about this: the premise is fragile, the world's rules don't make sense, and the queens care more about kissing than surviving. OTOH, there are some good action and horror-ish bits and I will read the next.

Finished the second book in this series and about to move on to the third! It‘s been a few years since I read the first one so I needed a refresher and this isn‘t my usual genre, but I really like the story line and main characters. If you‘re looking for YA fantasy, I recommend this series! #fiction #fantasy #threedarkcrownsseries

Haven‘t posted in awhile. Commuting has been kicking my butt waking up at 5 every morning. And lemme tell you, I am not a morning person... 😅😂 Anyway, this book was alright. I really enjoy the concept and it‘s nice to read a book that focuses more on sisterly bonds than romantic relationships. One grip is that the poisoner power is so outclassed by everyone it‘s not even funny.

aa_guer2021 I agree with your review. Mine feels less like an unpopular opinion now... 5y

I am slowly starting to get into this series. I can not stand Katharine at all. But I am enjoying it otherwise. Side not I hate when stickers are put on the front cover of books. I can't get the stickiness off the book and it drives me crazy.

HOTPock3tt I love this series!! ♥️Can‘t wait to read the new one! 5y

Exceptionally late review, and probably an #unpopular opinion, but I bought this to continue the series and although I was still impressed, it felt a little rushed, disjointed and just not quite there for me. Perhaps it's the ending, perhaps it's something else. But for me it's 3.5 ⭐. #recentlyread #nospoilers #YAfiction #YAFantasy 👸

FINALLY was able to finish a book during #maymakeup. I LOVE this series. Although I rarely binge read series (usually put a book or two In between), I‘m thinking of jumping right into “Two Dark Reigns”. I have a lot of feels happening right now.

I loved the first one, and this sequel didn‘t disappoint! With the emergence of Katharine as completely changed character, the battle for becoming queen shifts in this sequel. While there is a lot of action in this book, it‘s still not over yet! I don‘t want to give anything away, so I‘m just going to say I can‘t wait to read the next one!

Deciding to join in on the #24B4Monday because I loved it last month. Though I don't expect to read that much, since tomorrow is my birthday and will probably be busy, but I really want to finish the tagged book + I have a few chapters left of HP & Prisoner of the Azkaban. So I'm setting those two as my goals.

I didn't enjoy the second book as much as I enjoyed the first one.

The story was still great but I feel like not much as change. The story was still interesting but I thought it was missing a little something special.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was amazing! I hope the last in the series is just as good. There were twists and turns I did not expect. Three queens, only one can rule, the other two must die by her sister‘s hand.

So glad I stuck with this series--this book was so good! Better pacing and action compared to the first book.

I still love Katherine, and I have a greater appreciation for Mirabella and Arsinoe. Billy is my new favorite. Can‘t wait to see what happens next.
