“A queen once crowned," Luca says, "is crowned forever.” 
This whole series is such a comfort read for me, but I have to say that the direction it took in this book felt... strange. I guess I was hoping for a more predictable plot haha
 
I just felt like the Blue Queen plot was an unnecessary addition. I wanted to focus only on the here sisters, not on some legend that randomly started haunting Arsinoe :/

“A story can tell the truth...but a story can also lie. Stories can bend and twist and obfuscate. Controlling stories is power indeed.” 
What a charming, magnetic story. I've read this book many times now, I reread it every year, and every year, I feel like I get more from it, somehow.
