 Review: I think this book is 80% senseless romance and 20% fantasy. 
 I get quite picky when it comes to fantasy book, which means a shitload of plot twists and turns, a teeny tiny romance, some kickass characters, and also interesting elements/settings. Although, I enormously disliked the romance, I pretty much enjoyed this book. 
 Three Dark Crowns follows a story of a triplet queens, and also sisters, who lived in different parts of Fennbirn, who happened to have three different powers. The three of them were ought to kill each other with their power for the worth of one throne, which was called the Ascension Year that happened when the three queens turned sixteen. 
 "Three Black Witches are born in a glen, 
 Sweet little triplets 
 Will never be friends. 
 Three Black Witches, all fair to be seen. 
 Two to devour, 
 And one to be queen." 
 I would honestly say that I enjoyed this book entirely because of the writing. It was very formal and special, which pulled me in. Or maybe because I read an unendurably terrible, stupid book, Invaded by Melissa Landers, before reading this one. There were some parts where it was boring, which I thought because the plot was falling apart. But I'm quite happy I read it in one sit and felt better. 
 I'm not sure I wouldn't rant in this part of this review. Plot. Nothing. I goddamned swear I wasn't blinded by the writing because I was able to revise what was happening and nothing did. 80% of this book with no plot and only romance. I don't understand why the romance was so important either. The characters did things that didn't reach the potential to actually be enjoyable and there were so much romance going on that I rolled my eyes too much because trust me honey, if I want romance, I would pick up contemporary myself. Despite that part, the book was running to betrayal that turned into revenge. The last 20% was incredible, but I doubted that I was hyped for it because the first 80% was nothing. 
 This is the part where it gets tough because of these bunch of characters. I don't understand why this book got to evolve around these characters -- Jules, Joseph, Natalia, Pietyr. I mean, their parts were just as much as Mirabella's, Katharine's, and Arsinoe's parts. They were tangled with each other too much because of the romance and what I was expecting were higher than this, only the three queens. Mirabella seemed to be gentle, quiet, and forgiving, but she was as hell not forgiving because she lost her shit. Katharine was viewed to be a really weak one, I truly thought that I would improve to like her much better if she didn't get involve with the romance. Arsinoe was the only one with less romance, yet she was too arrogant. I didn't like her and hoped that she stopped honoring Jules' and Joseph's romance. 
 Overall:: this book was okay for me. I enjoyed the writing, but not the plot and characters. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoy fantasy as equally as romance. Still, I want to read the second book, with less romance please.
