The Young Queens

Kendra Blake: 

3/5

I loved this novella, don’t get me wrong I just don’t think that novellas are worth more than three stars most of the time. They’re good, but they’re never enough for me. I want more, and while reading them always make the main story better it isn’t enough.

Three Dark Crowns was one of my favorite summer reads because I live for the drama and the murder. This novella didn’t do much for me compared to Three Dark Crowns, or One Dark Throne. I liked seeing the queens when they were little and having more knowledge of what it was like for them growing up and getting to see them together for just a bit of time.

I wish that we had more of Queen Camilla, like honest to god wish that we had more of her just because I wish there was a series about her and her sisters. I could forever read about the Queens and their sisters like no joke there are so many possibilities.

Do I approve of what the Westwood’s did to Mira? No, I don’t, and I don’t really like how they continue to act like they didn’t trap her in a basement for years and how she doesn’t even resent them for it. I don’t think they should have gotten to keep custody of her after that, she should have been moved to a different family. I don’t know how others feel about this, but it unsettled me way too much. Never liked the Westwood family to begin with, and this novella just proved my point as to why I didn’t like them.

Katharine, oh my god, Katharine was SO GOOD. I miss this Kat so much she’s my baby and deserves way more than what she got, even though she got her Natalia out of this. Her part of the story didn’t really seem big to me compared to the other two’s. A lot about her life in this novella was already told in TDC, so it felt like her chapters were mainly just included so that she wasn’t left out of a story about triplets. Doesn’t mean that I wasn’t glad to see her because obviously Kat is an absolute babe and I love her.

My girl, Arsinoe? Not straight. No way is she straight okay, I know that technically she has to have a King Consort, but I don’t care. Kendra Blake is out there writing about Jules and Arsinoe the way that she does and yet they ‘aren’t together’ like don’t come at me with that we all know that they should be together. Literally no one looks at a person and thinks ‘this one, I have to take care of this person for the rest of my life’ without them being together. You know what my fiancé thought the first time we met? It was, ‘Yes, I have to take care of this one for the rest of my life’ like come on Blake, give us the wlw content that we all want. I have never seen characters that remind me of me and My Love, so Blake can come and fight me on this. Honestly? Give us Jules/Arsinoe/Billy, I’d settle for that set up without issue. Her story has always been really great to me because while her sisters have all somewhat accepted how things are she’s always wanted something different from her life and in this we got to see her early, defiant years.

Im Inselkönigreich Fennbirn bestimmt ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod, wer den Thron besteigt und die nächste Königin wird. Drei Schwestern von königlichem Blute wurden geboren um, von der Göttin mit einzigartigen Fähigkeiten gesegnet, am Tage ihres 16. Geburtstages in Wettstreit gegeneinander zu kämpfen, dessen Siegerin die nächste Königin gekrönt wird.

Das ganze Buch ist sehr teammäßig angehaucht, so kann der Leser auswählen, ob er auf Katharines (Resistent gegen alle Gifte), Mirabellas (Bezwingerin der vier Elemente) oder Arsinoes (Herrscherin über die Natur) Seite steht. Wirklich die Wahl hatte ich aber nicht, da der Buchfokus eindeutig auf Arsinoe liegt. Ich wurde gezwungenermaßen Team Katharine, über die erfährt man dann aber im Verlauf am allerwenigsten von den Dreien. Hinzu kommt, dass mich die Inhaltsangabe richtig heiß für den Königinnenkampf gemacht hat. Nach spätestens 150 Seiten wird klar: wer endlich den Kampf will muss Teil II kaufen, denn dieses Buch ist eine reine Figurenexposition, sprich, wir erfahren alles aus dem jeweiligen Leben der Königin und sind quasi die Reporter, die kurz vor dem spannenden Kampf nocheinmal die aufgestellten Kandidaten vorstellen. Richtig gepackt hat mich das Buch daher erst kurz vor Schluss, weil alles drunter und drüber geht und der Kampf richtig fahrt aufnimmt. Freue mich jetzt aber umsomehr auf die Fortsetzung. Absolut lesenswert. Meine Bewertung fällt jedoch trotzdem mager aus.
