Castles in their Bones by Laura Sebastian
emotional

4.0
I don't usually go back to 2 or 3 star reads, but while this plot was terrible, I ended up being so invested in the characters and what was going to happen to them that I finally decided to re-read this so I could read the sequel and finally find out the fate of my favourite character.
This story is both basic, and messy. Beatriz, Sophronia and Daphne are three twins raised to travel to neighbouring Kingdoms and destroy them from the inside, which sound simple enough but with three POVs and three locations, that came with a large cast of characters that could be difficult to keep up with.
I do wish the world was more diverse, as this book felt quite dated by only having one Queer relationship that was more background plot, and not too important to the overall story. I hope the sequels keep the same fast pace that this book did though, as I flew through the whole thing quite easily.
