Great book to find out more about Fennbirn’s history and how our characters grew up!

I always enjoy reading novellas because they give you insight into characters and the reason why they act a certain way because of past experiences. I enjoyed reading about the early days of the queens and I found it interesting to read about the reason why their mom chose to switch their gifts at birth.
The second story was about the Mad Queen which I found to be a more interesting story than the first one. You got to read about how much power The Black Council really has and how little lies can turn into much bigger problems and issues. Definitely an interesting read if you like this series, especially since you can read about the Mad Queen that’s referenced so much in the series.

Not a necessary part of the series, but was still enjoyable to spend time with the queens.

I think I should have probably read this earlier in the series. I recommend to read after book 1.
The Oracle Queen: 4,25 stars
Rather enjoyed this. I loved the twist in the end that you kind of never knew if you didn’t read the prequel. I felt so bad for Elsabet. Fun addition and I just really liked to know something about the history. I think I would read anything from any queen in this world. Also, in this short story it just shows how well the author can write characters and make you believe the friendships. I did wish we got to see a little bit more about what is was like to be a queen, so for example the politics and daily tasks.
The Young Queens: 3,5 stars
Also a really lovely addition to this series and I am glad that it exists. I liked to see the queens grow up and to see them as children and how they then interacted before they “knew”. Also liked to see the time jump and to see how Cara ended up where she was in the present series. But for me this didn’t really give me any need to know information.

The Young Queens, I felt gave more information then the novel itself did. I rather liked it. 3.5
The Oracle Queen was going great up to that rushed ending. 2.5
For an overall rating of 3.

Spoiler
The queen didn't even get a trial? Also how did they convince everyone so easily? Why did the Queen go from screaming at being deceived to just being compliant and meek? Why did her foster brother not do anything when it was clear he was on her side in the end? How did they get away with it? It was just so rushed and unexplained that the story felt so incomplete.For an overall rating of 3.
