 Ok, I think I know what I want to say now. 
 This is a solid three stars for me and it's for a few reasons. Overall, I liked this book, but it turned out to be a different book than I was expecting. I think like most people I expected this to be a standalone and unfortunately it wasn't. Something else that was different than I was expecting was well the story. If you don't know, the story is about a set of triplets who must fight to become queen. And not even just fight, they must kill the other two sisters in order to become queen. How I had the premise in my head was a bit different than what it was irl and in fact, I spent some of my time reading, editing the story to change it to how I would have written it which... is not good for a reading experience. I'm sure for everyone who didn't create a specific story in their head, they have no problems enjoying the story as it is. 
 I, like many others, also felt like the chapters switched between the sisters too quickly or unnaturally. It wasn't a constant problem, I thought many changes were fine, but it happened enough times for me to notice, and dislike. 
 Do I plan on reading the sequel? To be honest.... no. I think what I'm most likely going to do (since the ending was a bit of a cliffhanger (even though I kind of thought of it at one point early one)) is read a spoiler review of the second book. I know that a lot of people may not like that, but it's my life, I'm gonna follow my dreams. 
 Also just so you know, if you don't like gore, there are a few scenes that are quite disturbing just fyi. One in particular really made me uncomfortable so I figured I'd at least share that.

 My feelings on this are kind of complex and all over the place so I'm going to wait a bit before I write my detailed review.
