    [Rezi] Kendare Blake – The Oracle Queen [Three Dark Crowns]

    Klappentext Triplet queens born on the island of Fennbirn can be many things: Elementals. Poisoners. Naturalists. If an oracle queen is born, however, one with the gift of sight, she’s immediately drowned, extinguishing her chance at ever taking the throne. But that’s not how it always was. This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabet—the legendary, and last, oracle queen—whose reign was tinged with blood and horror. Paranoid, ruthless, and utterly mad, Elsabet’s mistrust led to the senseless slaying of three entire houses of innocent people. At least, that’s the unchallenged tale carried down from generation to generation. But what really happened?

    [Rezi] Kendare Blake – The Young Queens [Three Dark Crowns]

    Klappentext Mirabella, Arsinoe, and Katharine weren’t always scheming to murder each other. They weren’t always surrounded by rival foster families, each swearing to have their best interests at heart. And they weren’t always afraid of being unexpectedly attacked—by one of their own sisters, no less—in a way that could cost them their last breath. They used to be together. Just three sisters. Alone in a glen. This is the story of the three queens—after they were born, before they were separated, during the time when they all lived together, loved each other, and protected each other. It’s also the story of the day they were torn apart, and the several…

    [Neuzugänge] Todesursache: Erschlagen vom SuB!

    Hallöchen zusammen, irgendwie komme ich dieses Jahr nicht dazu einen Messebericht zu schreiben. Vielleicht lasse ich es auch ganz. Ihr kennt ja mein Motto: Nicht erzwingen, sonst wird es Mist. Und Mist will ich definitiv nicht abliefern. Daher dachte ich mir, warum nicht nochmal ein netter kleiner – okay, großer – Neuzugängepost. All die Bücher haben sie während, kurz vor oder kurz nach der Messe bei mir angesammelt. Ich gehe jetzt mal in die Ecke und werde mich leise schämen. Meine Todesursache wird irgendwann noch sein, dass ich von einem Bücherstapel erschlagen wurde… „The Sun is also a Star – Ein einziger Tag für die Liebe„* von Nicola Yoon (Originaltitel:…

    [Rezi] Kendare Blake – Three Dark Crowns [Three Dark Crowns]

    Klappentext In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions. But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a…
