Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake
5.0

LOVED this conclusion to the Three Dark Crowns series. This book took all my expectations and threw them out the window and ended in a way I did not foresee. People died, which is something I expected, but it was still heartbreaking to read.

It very much feels like everyone is a victim in this series. Katherine didn’t ask to be pushed down into an abyss. Arsinoe didn’t ask to be an ungifted naturalist. Mirabella didn’t ask to be torn from her sisters and forced to kill them. I honestly didn’t feel outright hatred for any of the characters in this series.

Kendare Blake creates a world that was so magical and foreign to our own, but it also seemed near enough that you could almost imagine that if you searched hard enough you could find Fennbirn, hidden in the mist. This book was a beautiful ending to a great series and I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.
