Thrilling but very dark tale of murderous triplet queens.

Great
I loved this book I think it is suitable for ages 11 and up. The idea of the book is a bit creepy but the story line keeps you saying just one more page.

Sexy, violent, still brilliant.
Sex: 1 sex scene where Mirabella has to get naked to warm a freezing boy involved in a hurricane. When he wakes up, they kiss, touch each other ( doesn't say where) moaning and the girl wraps her legs around him. Making out and one foreplay scene where it is implied they get naked.
Language: One 'bas-ard'
Violence: Talk about loops of entrails after gory bear attack. Someone gets clawed by a bear and the description is pretty disturbing. Execution-Katharine is forced to kill someone she doesn't want to kill. Someone is said to have spasmed so hard they broke all their bones.
Wine is drink
Vary dark. 14+ For sexuality, and gore.

So Good!!
I LOVED this book! It is a little slow at the beginning and the middle, so if you like fast-paced stories then this one might not be for you. It's also a bit creepy and violent, so if you're not good with things like that you might want to avoid this one. I love that this book has a female-centric cast and takes place in a matriarchal society. The magic system is also very well done and explained thoroughly. There are a bunch of interesting and fun characters, though it may seem overwhelming at times with how many there are. Each sister has so much personality, and they each have a sister or aunt-like companion who is equally as interesting. Overall, this was a great book, if a little bit slow at first.

Read This Book!!
This book was sooo good. At the start I was confused by what was happening. But as it went on it made LOTs of sense, take it from me and trust me, I finish a book a day. And this book I wanted to read it over and over. (I am begging my friend to let me borrow the second)

Great!
Its an AMAZING book for teens, but I think that it is a little violent for littler kids and has some mature themes (Which are fine if you are 12+)
I recommend 100%

Exciting, intense, and mature
This is an amazing book for mature teens who will be able to handle the content. I loved this book because of the exciting premise. It's a bit slow but something you should definitely read if you are okay reading books that are a little slow. This is a must read for fans of The Hunger Games, Matched, and if you are a veteran to dark, YA fantasies. This is an amazing book and I can't wait to read the sequel, One Dark Throne and Queens Of Fennbirn.

Speechless.
This is a action-packed, violence-smeared, enticing book. Wow. There are a lot of torturous details the author packs in, not recommended for kids under 13. However, the story is well-paced, the characters are well made and described, and the whole story seems to seep out of the pages. Amazing work.
