Three Dark Crowns is a YA fiction New York Times' Bestselling novel by Kendare Blake. On the island of Fennbirn, sets of triplets are born every generation. Each sister has her own gift: a poisoner, an elemental, and a naturalist. Raised separately since the age of six, the sisters develop their gifts in preparation for their sixteenth birthday. One of them will be crowned queen: after she kills the others.
Sex: There are a couple of sex scenes but they aren't graphic or very detailed. The biggest thing is that sex is discussed very flippantly.
Language: None.
Drug/Alcohol Use: None, besides a sleeping powder.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: Death is a big part of this book. In order for a queen to be crowned, the other two queens must die. Several people are killed, wounded, or maimed. There's a lot of suspense.
Final Note: I loved this book! It was such a unique fantasy novel. Although a little dark, there was lots of loyalty between the characters and good examples of true friendship. One more thing to note is that a couple of the characters practice magic. The characters also believe in a goddess and think that she's the one who ordains everything. Overall, it was one of my favorite books this year! I can't wait for the next one!
