Five Dark Fates (Three Dark Crowns, #4)

by Kendare Blake

Three dark sisters rise to fight. Allegiances shift. Bonds break. Secrets surface.

Mirabella has returned to the capital, seemingly under a banner of truce.

Katharine maintains her rule over Fennbirn - for now - but at huge personal cost.

Arsinoe is lost, the responsibility of stopping the ravaging mist heavy on her shoulders.

As oldest and youngest circle each other, and Katharine begins to yearn for the closeness that Mirabella and Arsinoe share, the dead queens hiss caution. They whisper that Mirabella is not to be trusted. But even they are drawn to her power . . .

The fate of the island lies in the hands of its queens.

Five Dark Fates is the epic conclusion to Kendare Blake's bestselling Three Dark Crowns series.

B | Another solid B. This would have been a higher grade, but I wasn’t really happy with the ending. But that’s just me being petty. If I was less a child about it? I do think it wraps up the series quite nicely. Sure I may not like the outcome but it was definitely a decent series and I’m glad I finished.

Wow. I actually loved this so much & thought it was a crazy ride, but a rather well-fitting ending for the series. A few things I didn’t like, but maybe I’m just more critical of finales :-P

Maybe a more detailed RTC ? Who knows.

I feel so... off. As do I always when something has ended permanently.

This is why I usually put off finales. This was wasn't bad, by any means, I think I just wanted something to happen, and it didn't. I also feel like if you are going to include an epilogue, which is fully endorse, it should be a little bit more telling or meaningful, than this one was. I guess it left a little hope, but I wanted a bit more. This was still a series I really enjoyed, and I have zero regrets.

Really excellent series, and fantastic conclusion. It is bloody and violent and tragic and beautiful, if that makes any sense at all. Just fantastic.

I finally, finally got to finish this amazing series. I"m clearly behind and see it's a dividing force in the reviews. I personally enjoyed it. Didn't see a lot of it coming or the ending, for sure. I thought it was appropriate and fitting, especially for this series. I mean, we all knew it wasn't going to be a happy one, right?? It's dark and grim with love and hope. I think the Queens and the island got what they deserved. I would've liked more of the history to come through with a punch, but I can see how it was trimmed for pacing and length.
