Reviews with content warning for Animal death - Três Coroas Negras

Really good start to a fantasy series and I’m excited to see what happens next in this world. There was a very interesting plot twist at the end of the book which has me very curious on how the next book will play out. I found that the plot developed pretty slowly and I wish the world building was slightly more accessible because I often found myself confused about the many elements of this world. I feel like all the characters were established really well and that I have a good understand of their connections to one another. I also really enjoyed the aesthetic of this fantasy world and its dark qualities.

This book is as exactly as dark, mysterious, and intriguing as expected! Love it!

On another note, wtf Joseph. You deserve neither Mirabella nor Jules..

This definitely had an interesting storyline, but it took me about 100 pages in to get all of the characters straight in my mind.

Things I enjoyed: I liked the different points of view from all sisters. Even though bouncing between them took some getting used to and some confusion in the beginning. I liked how this is different from other fantasy books (there isn’t a 400+ year old love interest) or some curse to break. It was refreshing in that aspect.

Things I didn’t like: the pace was more slow. It was a lot of build up. Reading the blurb of this book you expect there to be epic battle scenes between the sisters but you never see that. In fact, the triplets barely interact in this book. This book was all world building and setting the scene. I also didn’t understand how these people treated queens. What’s the point in having a Queen if you don’t respect her at all? It’s just backwards in how they treat those girls.

Also, the major twist in the book was predictable.

It's starts of slow paced in the beginning, but speeds up a lot at the end. The ending had a MAJOR plot twist, so I would recommend having the second book available to read before finishing 🙃

The beginning was really slow and then it picks up real fast halfway through. I could have also used a character map, there were so many names to keep track of.

As a first book it’s definitely more focused on world building and giving the reader a grasp of each character and the background/setting of how life is there and the expectations.
Due to that it is a bit of a slow read, it is written well and quite descriptive but definitely more political and not action driven.
