comment
In the middle of an ocean rests Fennbirn, an island of magic, ruled over by a Queen. This crown is selected not just by birthright, but by might. Though one Queen rules, three are born each generation, with each sister possessing one type of magic. During their sixteenth year, these triplets must battle each other in a fight to the death. The winner gets the crown; the losers' bodies are thrown into an abyss, their existences left to be forgotten.For this generation, the three Queens are Mirabella, a fierce elemental with the ability to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers; Katharine, a poisoner who can ingest the most toxic poisons without so much as a stomachache; and Arsinoe, a naturalist who is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest of roses and control the fiercest of lions.Or at least, that's what they want everyone to believe: Arsinoe can't even grow weeds, let alone a rose, and Katharine gets sick from even the weakest poisons. Mirabella- while genuinely powerful- is the only one who remembers their brief childhood together, and can't bring herself to fight them.Unfortunately for these sisters, the beginning of the Ascension Year looms ever nearer. With alliances being formed, betrayals taking shape, and ruthless revenge haunting the queens’ every move, one thing is certain: the last queen standing might not be the strongest but she may be the darkest.Three Dark Crowns is a YA fantasy series by Kendare Blake.It consists of: Three Dark Crowns (2016) One Dark Throne (2017) Two Dark Reigns (2018) Five Dark Fates (2019) Queens of Fennbirn (2018): A prequel novella that combines two short stories. The Young Queens (2017) The Oracle Queen (2018)

The Beast Master: Most naturalists have some kind of animal familiar. Jules is exceptional in having a mountain lion as hers. She also manages to control a bear so he can pretend to be Arsinoe's familiar when the queen has to demonstrate her power to the masses.

comment
End of an Age: The various gifts were slowly growing weaker and weaker with each generation. And with the mist that once isolated the island is now gone. Arsinoe, the surviving triplet, rejects becoming the next Queen Crowned, instead giving that title to Jules, a naturalist without any royal blood.

Not What It Looks Like: Jules loses control of Arsinoe's pretended bear familiar. Said bear goes straight for Mirabella and would have killed her had Joseph not jumped in to protect her. This causes Mirabella to think that Arsinoe tried to kill her and vows to kill her sister the first chance she gets.

Puppet King: In the last one hundred years it has been the Black Council ruling the island through the winning queen. It is unknown if the Queens of Old held any actual power. This is doubly true for the king-consorts. None of them has any power; everyone knows that they are mere figureheads and a symbol of mainland alliances.

Bullying a Dragon: Rho seems to forget just how dangerous Mirabella is when forcing the girl to do things she does not want. Genevieve seems to forget that if Katharine becomes queen she would have won the hate of the ruling monarch. Averted with the High Priestess Luca who is wary of personally angering Mirabella. Queens of Fennbirn shows exactally why: When Luca first met Mirabella, Mirabella tried to drown her.

All Issues Are Political Issues: The Arrons- the family that fosters poisoner queens- are loathe to give up their three generations long reign. Natalia notes that the actual strength of the Queen doesn't matter but rather that of the family that backs her. The temple have been openly backing Mirabella, despite it being less than ethical, because they want to wrest control of the island away from the poisoners.

comment
Irony: Arsinoe surviving the Ascension Year is this for at least two reasons: Everyone thought she would die first due to her apparently giftless nature; she winds up having a strong poisoner gift and is the only one of her sisters to live past the age of sixteen. Queen Camille switched Arsinoe with Katharine in the hopes that Mirabella- a powerful elemental- will take the crown away from the poisoners who had ruled for three generations. Mirabella ends up being the first of the triplets to die and Arsinoe- a poisoner- lives to see another day.

comment
Evil Red Head/Fiery Red Head: Priestess Rho. Although she usually covers her hair with the hood, when it is out in the open, it is described as red as blood or flames. Mirabella suspects that she has the war gift, because she is always harsh towards other priestesses and often hits them for perceived mistakes. And then she forces Mirabella to kill the novice priestess and seems to draw a lot of pleasure from it. It is also her idea to use the guise of a Sacrificial Year to kill Arsinoe and Katharine during Beltane.

Modest Royalty: The naturalist queens are raised without ceremony, dirt on the nose and running wild. This makes them the people's queens and rather beloved by the masses. Arsinoe- while modest and unconcerned by appearances- is not beloved by the majority of the people of Wolf Spring. She is not a naturalist but a poisoner.

Acquired Poison Immunity
 Three Dark Crowns / int_daba0e87
comment
Acquired Poison Immunity: Thanks to her Arron training, Katharine has this, but it has come at the cost of her health. After being possessed by the spirits of past defeated Queens, she becomes more naturally able to handle poisons. Arsinoe is naturally immune due to being the real poisoner queen.

Not Quite Dead: Katharine, against all odds, managed to claw her way out of the Breccia Domain and came back with more confidence and more vindication towards seizing the crown.

comment
Twin Switch: Arsinoe is actually the poisoner Queen and Katharine the naturalist one. Queens of Fennbirn shows that Camille (the previous Queen) intentionally switched the two, her hope being that the much stronger Mirabella would be able to take the crown away from the poisoners and end their three-generations-long rule.
