_Three Dark Crowns_ by Kendare Blake

Although I absolutely loved this book, I didn't mark a lot of things. I like to think it's just because I was so caught up in the story.

World Building

If you haven't noticed yet, I'm apparently a sucker for little details that make worlds feel more real and complete.

The arrangement is layered with the pinks and purples of hedge nettles and showy orchids. It is as pretty as a wedding cake, early bloomed by the naturalist gift. Each family has brought their own, and most brought extra, to decorate the tables of the giftless. p34 Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake


Strength/ Standing up for yourself

He leans forward to kiss her, and she jerks back. It was so sudden. She stammers an apology. Though she does not know why she should be the one to apologize, when it was he who was too forward. p65 Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Reversal of expectations

"It was only a joke, Mira," says Bree gently. "Of course I do not wish that. No one really wishes to be a queen." p102 Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
