Meh. I remember this being much better when I read this at 17
I received an advanced copy from Netgalley, to read and review.
The story started slow, with so much history and background being detailed, that I almost put it down. I pushed thru and found a decent storyline, although I expected much better from these authors. Everything came together at the end - for the most part anyway. Seems like there should be a sequel.

fast-paced
To me this book was a little slow in the beginning but it picked up pretty quick. I liked how all three characters had their own strengths and weaknesses that played well with one another. All three of the princesses, Haramis being my favorite of them. I also liked Immu as a side character. I liked the world building too, it was a little confusing at first but as I read on it started to just come together. Overall I think that this was a compelling fantasy read.
Oh man, I read this so long ago. Loved it, but I'd have to reread it to judge it again.

This was a hard one for me. I read this book when I was a kid and I remember loving it. I really remembered nothing else except that I really loved the book. It's been on my list to re-read for ages. But man this was really a disappointment. I found myself so frustrated and wondering what it was I enjoyed about the book in the first place. The characters in this story were so cookie cutter, too stereotypical for me to really identify with them. I was annoyed with all three of the princess at different points.
Ultimately the ending of the story does get a little better, but it was a slog to get through. The last quarter of the story picked up pace and kept my attention a lot better. By the end of the story the character I liked the most was actually the character that bothered me the most in the beginning. Anigel was one of the few characters that did actually grow and change. I admit to a curiosity about where the story would go in the future when the authors were writing their own books. But I do hope they're stronger stories on their own.

Jeg elsker forfatternes andre værker, men ikke den her bog. Fantastisk world building, men flade og klichefyldte personer.
Totally different from what I was reading at the time. They all work well together.
Leseeindruck
Dieses Buch handelt von drei Schwestern des königlichen Hauses. Sie stehen unter einer Profezeihung, die sich in diesem Buch zu ereignene scheint. Sie müssen durch einen schrecklichen Invasor, eine schreckliche Übermacht bestehen.
Troß der Tatsache, dass diese Werk unter mehreren Autoren entstanden ist, finde ich den Schreibstil sehr einheitlich. Sowie ist die Storyline strikt einem Ziel folgend. Es wird jeweils aus der Sicht einer der drei Prinzessinnen berichtet. Der Spannungsfaden hat sich teilweise sehr verloren und schwankte oft von sehr spannend bis mäßig spannend. Dies stellt für mich den größten Kritikpunkt dar.
Sonst ist es eine tadellose High-Fantasygeschichte mit dem Hintergrund, was passiert wenn verschiedene Völker und verschiedenen Entwicklungsstände aufeinander treffen.
