SYNOPSIS: Some stories about the lives of Mirabella, Arsinoe, and Kat before the start of the Three Dark Crown series.
RATING: 4/5
NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
It was really interesting to see the backstory of the three queens. It was devastating to see some scenes especially before they were separated. They seem to be pretty close to each other and it's heartbreaking to think about the fact that they had to kill each other now. It was interesting to see how different their environments were from each other and that resulted to how they were brought up. This was a nice companion to the series and it gave a whole knew perspective to the three queens. It was also very heartbreaking.
Aw King Philippe never even got to see his daughters but you can understand Queen Camille's reasoning why she didn't want him to see the girls. I liked knowing more about Queen Camille's intention especially the confirmation that she's the one who switched the babies. We still don't know if Kat is really a naturalist since we haven't seen her power yet at all.
It was terrible that Queen Camille put Kat with the Arrons especially since she knew what they would do to Kat. She was a terrible mother but I think she did the switching purely out of revenge.
It was nice to see that Queen Camille and King Philippe really did love each other. Especially since Camille grew up with the Arrons and knowing what they do to their candidates, it was adorable to see that she had someone who made her happy now.
It was heartbreaking to see Willa's point of view. She took of the queens, gets to see them separated and kill each other.
It was heartbreaking to see how protective Mira was to her sisters in the beginning. I misjudged her. She never forgot to her sisters and has to live with the pain that they forgot her.
It was heartbreaking to see Matthew and Caragh together. She had to sacrifice her happiness with Matthew in order to protect Jules and then Jules' mother, Madrigal, went and stole Matthew from her. I feel so bad for Caragh.
It broke my heart to see Nat and Kat. They were so close here and Nat really did bring up Kat like her daughter. She helped Kat so much and it hurts to know that she's dead in the series. Damn it, Billy's father.
