"Readers will be riveted by Blake's ingenious world-building,
stunning developments of main and supporting characters, and
spiraling tensions. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy action
thrillers with strong female leads, such as Victoria Aveyard's 'Red
Queen' and Sarah J. Maas's 'Throne of Glass' series." - School
Library Journal
"Blake is a sure hand with complicated and intricate plots, and if
that's not enough to make readers stick around for the next
installment, the cliffhanger ending certainly will." - Bulletin of
the Center for Children's Books
★ "The opener to a pitch-black epic fantasy series. Blake has
constructed an insular, matriarchal society from convincing
intimate details, vivid, complicated characters, [and] sumptuous,
poetic prose. Gorgeous and bloody, tender and violent, precise, and
passionate; above all, completely addicting. " - Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
"Blake establishes myriad side plots and relationships, builds
complex characters, and leaves plenty of compelling avenues to
explore in future books." - Publishers Weekly
★ "With exquisite world building and luminous detail, this is high
fantasy at its best. The magic is fierce and the plot intensely
twisted, but at this novel's dark heart beats a story about
sisterhood, the unbreakable bonds of family, and ties that bind
enough to kill." - Booklist (starred review)
"Three Dark Crowns is a brutal and inventive fantasy that is as
addictive as it is horrifying. I can't begin to guess the fates of
these three remarkable sister-queens, but I'm salivating like
poisoners at a feast to find out what will happen next." - Marissa
Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar
Chronicles
"Full of mystery, intrigue, and deadly girls I wouldn't dare cross,
Fennbirn is a darkly magical world I'm both drawn to and frightened
by. In short, this is a book I could linger in for months, with
three girls I am rooting for with all my heart." - Megan Shepherd,
New York Times bestselling author of The Cage series
"I loved this book. Blake's Three Dark Crowns is hypnotic,
twisting, and beautiful...as satisfying as a drop of poison in an
enemy's cup." - April Genevieve Tucholke, author of Wink, Poppy,
Midnight
