Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood will devour her latest novel, a dark and inventive fantasy about three sisters who must fight to the death to become queen.

In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn't solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it's not just a game of win or lose...it's life or death. The night the sisters turn 16, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.

Incredibly disapponted in this book. It had great potential, and it was just slaughtered by an ending that should have been the climax, and a half assed main story. All in all the story was just a very long introduction, and nothing ever happened with what I believed from the description to be the main plot. A few kids falling in and out of love, and a build up to a potentially amazing story that was wasted in a horribley disappointing and abrupt cliff hanger.

The story was unique and interesting. However the reading is VERY monotone. So much so that it is impossible to tell if anyone in the book has good intentions. The way it is read makes every single character seem stiff and uncaring. I think I would have enjoyed the book if I read it my self. But it took far longer to get through than it should have.

Narration made this hard to get through.

Liked the idea/concept of this book and felt that it brought something different to the table with all of the other supernatural YA books that are out there. The narrator was a little flat at times, but overall enjoyed the story and performance!

Great YA Read!

In the beginning, I had a hard time following what was going on and keeping all the characters straight. I wish the reader gave the characters different voices. I didn't feel the reader was giving enough emotion to the story. I did find myself getting more into the story as it went along, rooting for each of the girls. Looking forward to the next book.

Good, but hard to follow at first

Unique story line from anything I've ever read

Loved the book by the halfway mark. Started losing my sanity trying to figure everyone out. Who belongs where, does what and is tied to whom. Overall, a great series for people who love elements of magic and a GoT vibe.

So Many Names...
