Suffice it to say, I simply loved this book. The characters were just so different, and so well developed! I would go back and forth, trying to decide which triplet I was rooting for, and I'd change my mind every chapter. Then there was Jules, who wasn't one of the triplets, but had a huge part in the story and who I absolutely adored. The relationships were complex, and the sisters all had people who they loved to worry about in addition to vying for the crown.
The story wasn't always fast moving, but it seemed like everything had a point, like it belonged in the story. I enjoyed the politics going on behind the scenes, always wondering who was on which side. And the battle for the crown? It was messed up, because who kills their own sisters? But it was also such a psychologically provocative plot because of that! I really can't say much about this at all without giving stuff away, so I am afraid I have to leave it at that!
Bottom Line: Three Dark Crowns just had the whole package for me: action, romance, solid characters, friendships, and fabulous twists and turns. I will be anxiously waiting for the sequel, and definitely adding this to my favorites list in the meantime!
