Two Dark Reigns (Three Dark Crowns #3) by Kendare Blake - Restarting November 15th 2020

[Aly]

New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns with the highly anticipated third book in the Three Dark Crowns series! And while Arsinoe, Mirabella, and Katharine all have their own scores to settle, they aren’t the only queens stirring things up on Fennbirn Island.
Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There’s also the alarming issue of whether or not her sisters are actually dead—or if they’re waiting in the wings to usurp the throne.
Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the minland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn.
Jules, too, is in a strange place—in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can’t imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine’s doorstep.
This is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed—or expected.

[Aly]

27% (view spoiler)[ So many things happening in this story. I'm sure Arsinoe and Mirabella will have to return to Fennbirn and see Katharine. I wonder if Katharine can be saved or if she's too poisoned and will have to die. It seems like Jules is the 4th queen so maybe she should rule and the sisters can live in peace. Maybe their island shouldn't be shut off from the rest of the world anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I just want Arsinoe and Mirabella to go back to the island. Obviously that's what the Blue Queen is telling them. Maybe there's a way to all live together. I wonder if the mist is killing people because the island is mad the sisters left? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 6
(view spoiler)[ It took me a minute to remember what happened and what was going on in this book! I still hate Katharine, she is the one I wanted to be queen the least. Mira is my favorite! I don't know how I feel about Jules character after Joseph died (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

78% (view spoiler)[ I'm really curious how this will end. What the blue queen wants and how everything will go down. I know there's a 4th book so I'm thinking another cliffhanger. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I don't want Pietyr to die :'( And now everything is crazy. Maybe Katharine can be the sacrifice that breaks the mist instead, I don't know. And now we have to wait forever for the last book!! But it was a pretty good read, a little slow, but the ending made up for it. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

Gonna join when I can

[Ashley]

Chap 13
(view spoiler)[ I dont know how much I like this whole Jules maybe trying to be queen thing, I dont like Kathrine either obviously but what about Mira and Arisnoe, weird turn of events! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 20
(view spoiler)[ What is going on with Arisnoe's dreams, I wonder why the blue queen wants her to know this story so bad? I feel like she is supposed to do something, but what is Jules role in all of it? I liked it much more when it was her and Arisnoe together, I hope they dont start to hate each other or anything (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 24
(view spoiler)[ The one is a lot slower than the other ones, it kind of bums me out because I loved the first 2 books. I feel like its starting to pick up now though with Jules rebellion and Katharine is starting to have reason to think her sisters are alive (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Aly wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I want them to go back too! They can do so much more except for wasting away on the mainland doing nothing with no magic (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

end
(view spoiler)[ I dont want Mira to die!! I really hope she doesnt end up dying to get rid of the mists. She is the one I like the most. How are they going to stop Jules legion curse? Everything is a mess (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

17% I’m kinda bored :/

I'm going to start tonight! :)

[Krystal]

I’m about to start :)

[Connie]

I apologise, I'm only getting to this now

[Connie]

Wow this book really wastes no time getting into it (view spoiler)[ I wonder what the relevance of the fourth born is going to be to this story, do they have a secret fourth sister (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

No worries! I'm a bit behind on this book. 11% (view spoiler)[ I'm a little confused how Mari and Arsinoe are able to be on the mainland without being disguised. Maybe I missed something. (hide spoiler)]

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!! That would be cool!

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!! That would be cool!"

Page 36: (view spoiler)[ Is it Jules? omg I'm so curious about where this book is about to go (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Page 104: (view spoiler)[ I’m so excited to see how this revolt goes and is Jules going to just go after Katharine or are Arsinoe and Mira going to have to return to the island?

The differences between the mainland and the island are astounding as well! Completely different worlds! (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

I feel like so much has happened in the past 70 pages!

(view spoiler)[ I can’t believe Pietyr is dead. I know I wanted it in the last book but he really seemed to ground Kat, I wonder if she’s going to lose her mind now! I’m also so excited about this revolt with Jules and Emilia! I hope it works. I hope it’s not corrupt (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

I’m really behind in this, only 17% in. I am liking Maribella again, lol.

[Krystal]

Page 36: [spoilers removed]"

I wondered this too!!!!!

[Connie]

Krystal wrote: "No worries! I'm a bit behind on this book. 11% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I wondered this as well, bc Arsinoe was even talking about her bear scars etc (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Krystal wrote: "I’m really behind in this, only 17% in. I am liking Maribella again, lol."

I really like her in this one, I think I'm about 40% in

[Connie]

Page 203; (view spoiler)[ wait so Pietyr isn’t dead I must have read that whole bit wrong, she killed the kid lol oops I don’t think Kat can recover from this. I do think however Emilia has another reasoning for wanting Kat gone. I think she wants power for herself and is exploiting Jules (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Page 334: (view spoiler)[ the reunion between Jules and Arsinoe has melted my heart!! I can’t wait to see them take on Kat tbh! And the whole thing with Arsinoe being there to stop the mist has really grasped my attention.

I’m starting to feel a little bad for Kat, despite her ruthlessness, she really wasn’t destined to be lucky in her reign. I hope they don’t have to kill her. (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

Page 429: (view spoiler)[ The line Luca said the Mira when she said she loved Arsinoe has me all sad. "You forget you once loved them both" it's just so sad that this series started with her talking about how soft Kat was when they were younger and how Kat was the lovely one and now she's a pawn of the undead queens (hide spoiler)]

[Connie]

I just finished (view spoiler)[ Okay so now Pietyr is definitely dead rather than my confusion earlier lol; I really hope they get the undead queens out of Kat without killing her. I wonder what Mira is going to do in the capital. I really am enjoying this series a lot, I'm excited to get to the conclusion (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

My hold ended so I'll get it again and finish. It was slow going for me though.

(view spoiler)[ The dreams Arisonoe is having are bringing back the whole history about what really happened with the Blue queen. I think both the sisters would need to return back to the island because of this (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I agree! They are wasting a lot of time on the mainland doing nothing (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

50%

(view spoiler)[ I hope both of them return to the island quickly, cause they need them (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

75%

(view spoiler)[ I don't get the deal with the mist at all, and how the blue queen wants to save the island. Why does the mist return the bodies and why does it even swallow it in the first place? (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe Mirabella would need to die in order to save the mist. Plus, now she is deciding to actually help Katherine? This isn't going to turn our pretty at all (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I am so glad that I have basically binge read the last two books! I finished the second one and immediately started this one. I am so invested in Arsinoe's storyline. I really have enjoyed the series this far. I really feel on edge and anxious about what else is going to happen within the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

50% finished:
(view spoiler)[ Arsinoe has definitely became my favorite character out of the series so far! I love how defiant she is and she is really independent. I am so glad that we have one more book after this because I am addicted to this book just like I was the first two. I am holding my breath as far as the birth of the baby goes and the traveling that Arsinoe was going to do by herself. I just wonder why she is running away from everyone else to begin with. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

75% finished:
(view spoiler)[ Holy cow!!! Things just got super intense and I am surprised that Arsinoe went to see Amelia for Jules. Right now my mind is completely blown. I am glad that everyone followed her because if not she probably would've died. Jules really isn't mentioned a whole lot up until this point. But, I am scared there's going to be another huge cliffhanger and now I don't have the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[ I feel so satisfied after finishing this installment! I feel like reading them back to back has helped keep me invested in the plotline of the series but, overall it is definitely one of my favorite series of all time. In this installment we see more into the lives of Jules and Arsinoe and I absolutely fell in love with Arsinoe. I feel like the second book had just a tad bit more action in it. However, the last half of this book was action packed and made me sit on the edge of my seat. I am so glad that I have the next book available for me to read immediately because I don't want this series to end. (hide spoiler)]
