She has been eating and drinking tons of poison since the age of 6 so at the end of the book she had been eating poisoned food for 10 YEARS. None of these kingdoms reward weakness…ever… and I can’t imagine them doing so by giving them a pleasure cruise. Thinking back to when she helped to execute the boy in the prison. She could’ve made the poison to take effect an hour or 5 later so that the chocolate eater could at least get down three or four. I wish Blake went into the war and sight gift more since we don’t know what all they entail. I wonder if mainland-born children of the queens have gifts. Another one of these! I hadn’t thought much about the parents, so I paid more attention when I reread the book. Lots of people seem to still be interested in discussing this book because even though I wrote the post months ago, it still gets at least a couple of comments a week!). I think Kat is the naturalist, and somehow the families picked up the babies. That just doesn’t make sense to me. Did you like it? I never even thought of that, but it would be completely awesome and it makes a lot of sense. OK, this book was infuriating! Mirabella asks her if she remembers on two different occasions in the book and Arsinoe always replies no. Katharine/Pietyr Renard; Katharine (Three Dark Crowns) Arsinoe (Three Dark Crowns) Mirabella (Three Dark Crowns) Natalia Arron; Genevieve Arron; Pietyr Renard; Luca (Three Dark Crowns) Giselle (Three Dark Crowns) Willa (Three Dark Crowns) Camille (Three Dark Crowns) Poisoner Katharine; Alternate Universe - No Switch; Both Arsinoe and Katharine are Poisoners I just reread the book for the second time in preparation for One Dark Throne coming out tomorrow. Great book, and I’m so glad you recommended it, Nicole! Also when Kat said she wanted revenge at the end, do you think she meant Pietyr or her sisters? Because like… I DID feel chemistry between him and Mirabella. I guess we’ll have to wait till September to find out for sure! And Jules, YES! That’s a good thought! I kind of felt like there wasn’t a lot of foreshadowing either, at least none that I suspected. Quite honestly I think she would know if she had the sight, and I don’t think it would have helped her from falling over the cliff. (I think). I agree that if they’re quadruplets then someone would have had to cover it up. I doubt anyone will read this since I’m so late to the game, but the fire idea is great! Or do you think they will try to find a different way. Katherine getting pushed in that thing by P(don’t know how to spell the rest) took me REALLY by surprise! This chilling fantasy series is the perfect fall read. Assuming that they are indeed biologically related. That would also explain why Madrigal is so distant from Jules- since she may not be her real mother. Love this book! Especially her relationship with Billy. I think it might be better as a TV series, where it can be extended for seasons and not stuffed into an hour and a half. He wasn’t romantically linked to Arsinoe, was he? I am trying to organize my thoughts to write a review for Monday, and this helps me get back in that headspace , QUADRUPLETS!!!! I don’t believe she is a fourth twin but I DO believe that she is a sister. And now, what, we’re supposed to believe that because Jules nearly died he’s back to loving her again? This is just my spoiler-filled discussion – the review can be found HERE. Which is the way powerful war queens were described when we were introduced to Queen Emmeline, there was a time when powerful war queens could move objects by sheer will. Need the rest of the series now! Just re-read the book in anticipation of the second one’s release in September, and i’m glad I did! Discover (and save!) She prides herself on her slight of hand and ability to subtly poison anyone without notice. I didn’t notice that when I read it!! After all Billy is a suitor and he is supposed to be blonde. It may have been meant to force Junior to (unfairly) own a sense of guilt– if only for bringing the sweets into the home– guilt that might have been “spinned” into making him believe that it was all his fault because he never went to meet Mirabella and he forced his father to do it. A person has two gifts instead of one? I can’t wait to find out what happens next in the series. Pietyr is Christophe's son, and therefore, Natalia's nephew. Oh, wow, I just realized how lonely Pietyr is now. AND THAT DANCE THING! Christ spoke to the demon/s possessing the man, exhorting him for a name to which the demon/s responded with “We are legion for we are many.” Christ exhorted the demon to leave the man and the demons begged him to send them into a nearby herd of swine instead, which Christ allowed. Just a quick "Which Three Dark Crowns Queen are YOU?" I will stake every dollar of my savings on these few statements. Ps.

PLEASE tell me this spell will be broken!! are you trying to copy your mentally challenged queen???? Somehow I talked myself out of that when we found out about the dead queens because I felt like the explanation for that was supposed to be that she got that ability from them. Maybe Katharine’s gift is something else- something EPIC. OH SHI* HE REALLY DID IT” like he loves her. Luca I love all the theories here, but one that I can’t help but wonder especially if it might be true would be this… What if Jules was the blue queen, but the previous queen wanted a poisoner to be queen, so she made it seem as if she had the three triplets, but then with Arsinoe as a poisoner queen and the potential to win, the priestesses switched her with Katharine because they saw Kat as the weakest and knew if they switched, Mirabella would have the highest possible chance of winning so long as neither of the others discovered their true powers. 3. It could happen. Poisener feast) under the temple’s nose. I think Katharine is the war and Naturalist queen because of Sweetheart which could have been her familiar and because of her brutality. and STOP GIVING JOSEPHMORE CHANCES!!! I kind of hate Mirabella though. I mean, they’ll pretty much look all the same. Okay I just finished it today and here are my thoughts… I agree with the quadruplet theory and not the king consort theory about Jules because if mainlanders have no powers at all and he isn’t related by blood to the royal line of queens, how could that make jules so powerful if her own mother is only somewhat in touch with her naturalist abilities. Hmm, interesting.

Because the fact that she slept with the guy without ever having spoken to him is kind of weird.) Oh, did not think about how poisoners may need poison to thrive and that’s why they won’t eat anything untainted and that’s why two of the three sisters are not beautiful like their sister.!! . She was my favorite from the moment I read the summary on the jacket of the book. If she still thought Katherine dead, this may have been an intelligent move for self-preservation. Her war gift hasn’t been discovered or blossomed because she has spent the past decade sick and poisoned. The implication is that Jules getting so upset and sending the bear after Mirabella was a sign that she had the war gift, but I kind of almost wondered if this was an afterthought because I didn’t get that vibe at all from being in Jules’s head in the first book. I’m only surprised that they were so sloppy. I was shocked about Arsinoe too- Idk what Katharine’s deal is- but Jules… there is WAY more to her story than we know, for sure.

However, my thought is that Arsinoe is the poisoner, Mirabella the elemental, Jules the naturalist, and Katherine the Blue Queen (so she’s ungifted).

She had all of those weird dreams/memories…..just a theory. She just has too much good character development already to go to waste and I think instead of going for her sisters which is half assumed when she said she wanted revenge. It was mentioned when they were talking about the white queen plan. Although by the end of the book it seems foolish to have tipped her hand and to have shown so soon the alliance between Williams Senior and Natalia herself…well, did the chocolates go out before or after Katherine was found alive? OML and when she was like “I want revenge, and then I want my crown” THAT LINE WAS THE BEST. Yes, I think it’s the only thing that makes sense!
