A review by eb_rivers
Queens of Fennbirn by Kendare Blake

emotional

5.0

Both of these novellas made me sad. Seeing how close the sisters were and how much Mirabella loved them really broke my heart when they have to grow up and kill each other. It was crazy to learn that they locked Mirabella in the basement for some years. They did allude to her being difficult at first, but knowing what really happened was crazy. But it was still nice to see their childhood. Learning Elsabet's story was heartbreaking and made me despise the Arrons even more. At first I was excited to learn what prophecy Elsabet saw that led her to killing entire families, but the truth was absolutely devastating and infuriating, especially since they would thereafter drown all oracle queens and there's no way anyone can learn the truth.
