This was fine, but I was honestly pretty bored for the majority of the book. Sophie and her journey were really the only part of the story I felt invested in, but obviously we know how that ended. I'm not sure that I will continue with the rest of the series.

so this was an experience tbh
This book is an ok book yk...?
Not a lot of people will like it but it was genuinely enjoyable? But it was a long book, and it took me 2 months since there were times it felt boring.
The book overall is good, i think i would've gave it a 4 stars if i had more interest in the plot?
It felt fast and confusing, but the read was slow, like at times you might skip details but it's like decent tbh, but it's confusing sometimes
This was my first book so this is my opinion now in the present!

I really liked all three of the sister’s perspectives equally. And the premise: the sister are married to princes / a king of three surrounding countries in order to help destabilize these countries for their mother to take over. It was a good balance of political intrigue without being too complex.
The sisters are all 16 years old and the book definitely reads YA (especially their romances), which is why this book is not a 5 star for me.

Beatriz, Daphne and Sophronia, triplets, have spent their entire lives training and studying for one purpose - their mothers plan to unite all the regions under one rule. Hers.
Sent to the neighbouring regions, the girls are each tasked to sow discord and convince their newly married husbands to go to war.
Beatriz, sent to Cellaria, unwittingly finds a friend in Pasquale, her husband, and his cousins Gigi and Nico, uniting over their concern for King Cesare's behaviour which is becoming increasingly erratic as the days go by. Tasked with getting closer to Temarin's ambassador, Lord Savelle, Beatriz finds she must harden her heart if she is to follow her mother's plan.
Daphne, sent to the cold Friv, discovers that the Prince she should have married has died and she is now betrothed to Bairre, a bastard of the king who has now been proclaimed a Prince. As they grow tentatively closer, Daphne has to contend with a rebel plot and the very real danger that someone may want her dead.
Sophronia, sent to Temarin, finds her excitement for King Leopold diminished when he has children put to death for thievery. It soon becomes apparent that he wears blinders and that someone else is pulling his strings. Determined to help him, Sophronia sets out to instead save Temarin and to rule with Leopold.
