Castles in their Bones by Laura Sebastian
4.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Castles in Their Bones was hands down a wonderful adventure. It gave me Tangled vibes in the beginning and then turned into Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones in a way. No, there's no sibling romance but there's so much family betrayal. It's insane!
Each twist, turn, and secret coded message kept me fully engaged in the lives of the three princesses, Sophronia, Daphne, and Beatriz, and their mother, Empress Margaraux. From the very moment they were born, these three were trained and formed into the perfect bride for their prince. Well, almost.
Lurking in every corner, and inside them, was betrayal waiting to happen. Trust doesn't come easy in these kingdoms, but it also makes you underestimate your own family too. There was so much going on throughout this, that I wasn't surprised when certain things happened in a certain way. Mostly because it seemed like power was the main thing and once you had it - you wanted more.
In the end, I'm secretly hoping they have this kick ass plan to take down their mom. I also hope everyone is alive and well because I don't know how I will act if I find something is definite in the next book. I'm just sitting here freaking out because of the unknown. I can't wait for Laura to drop the sequel because I need it.
