Wanted to sit down and read this one today and I really liked it! It was one think to hear these stories mentioned in passing during the main story, but it’s another to go back and time to read about the islands history and the childhoods of the 3 queens. I want to murder Francesca so bad she screwed the entire island and it’s future cause she’s petty

Whatever you do, don’t read this before you read the rest of the series. This is for a couple of reasons. 1- Young Queens contains a major the baby swap that might ruin part of the series for you. 2- if you read the Oracle Queen and care even the slightest amount about the implications of that story you will spend the rest of the series tearing your hair out as it the fact that the oracle queen was not, in fact, evil at all and it was all a horrible slander/propaganda campaign that resulted in the deaths of dozens of babies is NEVER ADDRESSED!! The main characters from the series never even find out the truth! It’s crazy making!!! Honestly one of the things that kept me going with the series was waiting for this to finally come to light. I literally couldn’t believe it when I got to the end and it wasn’t. I still can’t sleep at night. I read this book half a year ago and I came back to write this because I’m still mad about this. Honestly I’d say skip this book entirely it’s not worth the headache.
