“You can never lose me. But you‘re free. You‘re not a queen anymore; you can come and go as you please. The island will always be here.” She claps Arsinoe on the shoulder, and she and her cougar face out toward the open sea.
“Now let‘s go find your boy.”

Arsinoe, fugitive queen of Fennbirn Island, sits stone faced before the desk, surrounded by crumpled balls of parchment. She has not slept but a few hours, and the light spilling in through the cut-stone window hurts her eyes; it shows the dark hollows beneath them and the gray hue of her face.

This was an epic ending for the series. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. It completely took me by surprise. I would recommend reading the entire series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A satisfying conclusion to a series I love. It wasn't my favourite book of the series, but I love this world, the magic system and the characters.

"The dead queens started this fight. But it is the living ones who will finish it"

Ok, I am super late and had this on my tbr shelf for over a year...but I didn't want it to end. What a perfect ending to an amazing series, not what I expected at all.

Determined to finish this before the end of the year, but it's been pretty slow going. Did anyone else kind of stall on this series? Anyone absolutely love it? Anyway, #TomKitten seems curious about it, so I guess I'll keep pushing through. #currentlyreading #CatsOfLitsy

Finally finished, but finished disappointed. It‘s not that I didn‘t see the survivors winning ahead of time, but it just didn‘t feel like it officially wrapped up. Things were left unsaid, people weren‘t able to be redeemed— such a bummer. Could‘ve been done better. Sad because the first two were pretty entertaining— definitely finish the series, but prepare for disappointment. 5/10

This final book in a fantasy quartet was not everything I had hoped for. The series was somewhat uneven for me but I really enjoyed the world building and some of the characters throughout. I felt there were some lazy plot devices used and multiple loose ends never tied up. It didn‘t seem carefully plotted from book 1 to book 4. Flaws aside, I still enjoyed reading it and that‘s how I like to rate books! Reading outside before it gets too hot 🥵

This series pretty much wore me out with the last book (which I actually DNF'd) but it had a decently strong ending. Not where I thought it would go but not as bad as I figured it would have been. Better than ok but I'm glad I've finished

The conclusion of the series. I don‘t know if this series changed after the first 2 books or if I‘VE changed but this just seemed like really young YA😕 (and I do generally like YA) Simplistic plot/foils.. and the audiobook version is TERRIBLY done. While it was nice to be back with familiar characters, I‘m glad to close this chapter. However, I‘m grateful for the friends I‘ve made along the way that this series has brought me. ☺️

Schnoebs Girl I am so behind on my most anticipated reads it‘s pathetic 😂 I‘ll definitely come running to you once I finally get around to it lol 4y
HOTPock3tt Honestly after they killed off Mirabella there wasn‘t much story left 😟 she wasn‘t even my fave queen, (I mostly liked Katherine until she got super creepy) but I felt like it was a waste: we never got to see all that elemental power and what she could do. I didn‘t even like Jules and she was still standing at the end. I thought Mirabella and Arsione should have both made it to the end. But I‘m glad Arsinoe and billy were together at the end 4y
HOTPock3tt @Schnoebs No prob! It literally took me a whole year to finish it and I probably still wouldn‘t have if someone didn‘t kind of tell me to “get in gear” and just finish it 😉 4y

SLibrarian5 @HOTPock3tt Same, I think on Goodreads I rated it two stars. Don't know why I didn't go with a pan on Litsy. 😑 4y
The_Heeler_Booklife I still need to read this and the book before it. I‘ll eventually get to them later this year. I heard this one wasn‘t great. 4y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I dislike deckle edge. 🤷‍♀️ I find it hard to turn the pages and the edges get bent and yucky. 4y
Patchshank @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I agree. Looks neat and everything, but it's not practical. 4y
ravenlee I‘m with @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @Patchshank in the anti-deckled-edge club. Don‘t like the look, but it‘s the practical page-turning trouble that seals the deal. 4y

dragondrool I'm not the biggest fan of deckled edges. They're kind of a pain when you want to flip back a few pages and you tend to flip on that particular edge.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Pro-Deckled edges club here! Since they're usually thicker pages I find it easier to flip back & forth. 4y

I did some #audioknitting while I finished the tagged book. Blake takes the finale in some interesting directions and I applaud her for her daring, but I think I‘d have enjoyed it a lot more if I‘d reread the rest of the series first. Oh well.

Gahhh I just finished this series, and I knew where it was going but that doesn‘t mean I have to like it! 😤😂
I enjoyed the world and though Blake does a lot of build up, I found myself lost in the story a majority of my reading. There were unanswered questions that seemed to disappear because they didn‘t serve the story‘s plot any more, and just weird character decisions.
Idk I just did not think this ending suited.
Spoilers ⬇️ under tag.

Ash.on.the.line The pan is just my opinion on the ending, I can see some people liking the end! 😂 4y
Ash.on.the.line I didn‘t like Jules the entire storyline so her being the queen was frustrating! Also I hated Emilia so her surviving had me 🙄 only because she likes Jules and saved Billy! Also why did the two most interesting queens die but Arsinoe survives even though the three queens line was supposed to end? This story avoids major romance and yet she sails off to meet up with Billy?! I don‘t get it! 4y
Ash.on.the.line I have a lot I‘ve been thinking about that is wrong and could go on but I won‘t lol! I just hated the way this ended! No hard feelings Kendare Blake, I appreciated this world, I just wanted more from the ending! 😅😂 4y
Crazeedi Nice cover though 4y
Ash.on.the.line @Crazeedi yes all the covers are beautiful! Very eye catching! 4y

I loved this series!!! There's a great sense of humor! Five Dark Fates concludes the story of the triplet queens on Fennbirn Island. I can't say I was fond of everything that happened - but I realized after I finished, the ending was truly the only really possible ending. Very satisfying. I don't want to say too much and give it all away!! Just...you need to read it 😆 😁

I had big plans of getting up early and reading most of the morning. But I wake up with an awful headache so i didn‘t get any reading done until this afternoon. I really enjoyed this book and the pages flew by. I was happy with how the series ended, but I still wanted more. I will have to check out the authors other books. This is my first completed book in the #24b42020 readathon.

I wanted to do a longer review of this book but I don‘t want to spoil anything for anyone. I loved this series all the way through and it has been my go to recommendation to people. My favorite character changed with each book and I didn‘t get bored with any of the books (which usually happens to me with a series). I was worried I would be disappointed by the ending of this series but I definitely wasn‘t.

I loved this book and this whole series. I thought Five Dark Fates ended the series perfectly! One thing that I really liked about this series was that there were no dud books. Usually second or third books fall flat in a series but I absolutely loved every one of Kendare Blake‘s books!!!

I very much enjoyed the final book in the Three Dark Crowns series, though the ending did leave me a bit flat.

It‘s 12.05am Friday 25th Oct here in Sydney so I‘m kicking off this Halloween version of the #24B4Monday #readathon with the last book in the Three Dark Crowns series by Kendare Blake. I love this series, it‘s a unique take on royal succession stories, triplet queens, each with a unique power, raised separately until they battle for the crown on their 16th birthday. Dark & brutal. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-1,141
