A review by bibliobrandie
Castles in their Bones by Laura Sebastian

3.0

I love sister stories and princess stories. This one has a lot of political intrigue, espionage, geopolitical scheming, and a long list of characters that honestly took me awhile to get squared away. You get each of the sisters points of view, there are three, and a bonus chapter from another point of view with a huge reveal (and cliffhanger). Daphne, Beatriz, and Sophronia were born and bred for one purpose: to bring down three countries so that their mother, Empress Margaraux, can take over the continent. Each daughter is trained in a different skill to aid in this task and knowing this was the only way to really keep them straight in my head. It felt a bit long but that ending has me looking forward to the next installment.
