One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake
5.0
One Dark Throne is the second book in the Three Dark Crowns trilogy. This book trilogy follows three sister queens, Katherine, Arsinoe and Mirabella as they are pitted against each other to fight to the death for the throne.
I love that this book had a whole different dynamic on first approach that Three Dark Crowns did because as a reader, I already knew the sisters pretty well at this stage and had followed them on the first part of their Ascension Year and their battles with each other, and all the different emotions that came with them.
I love the emotions in this book, particularly with Mirabella and Arsinoe and their complex feelings about having to kill one another while still obviously loving each other and caring deeply for one another. I also feel like some of my previous issues with the story were very much resolved in this one -I had;t liked the pitting of Jules against Mirabella because of a guy and I liked that Joseph made a very clear choice in this book and didn’t let it drag on and made it clear where he stood, that Mirabella and Jules both got what was going on and understood. I also like that Joseph was very much clear that he knew Jules would have continued trust issues and he knew she couldn’t forgive him clear cut and it would take a while.
I can’t wait for the third book, mostly to see where Jules goes with her War ability - it will be so interesting to see where things now and I’m also all there for Arsinoe and Mirabella’s sisterhood now and for them to rule the world together once they kill that snake Katherine, what a bish.
