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.

The queens are introduced by their flaws. Right off the bat, every queen has something weighing them down.Â
Arisone being a poisoner all along, Maribella thinking with her heart, and Katherine being looked at as someone weak. I love them but I also love to hate them. I cant wait to see how they handle their rage in book 2 !!!

Premise in a nut shell is that each generation a set of triplets are born and one must kill her sisters to rule and become the Queen. Each is supposed to develop a different power and live in that area. There are elementalists, poisoners, naturalists, warriors etc.Â
There were definitely elements that I liked including the magic systems and the world building. It had a darker atmospheric feel to it, I mean sisters are trying to kill each other. Lol.
I was annoyed that the girls didn't club together to otherthrow the archaic systems holding them back. Although this is only the first book of a series so maybe that does happen down the line.Â
Also Josh was the literal worst. Delirious, worst excuse ever. Eurgh.

Also, so many reviews I see are like: "too many characters! Who lived where? What's going on?" For what it's worth, I think those people are wrong, and if you've ever read any fantasy you'll be in familiar territory.Â
