About this audiobook
In the final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns series, an all-out war is brewing—one that will pit sister against sister and dead against undead.
After the grim confrontation with Queen Katharine, the rebellion lies in tatters. Jules’s legion curse has been unbound, and it is up to Arsinoe to find a cure, even as the responsibility of stopping the ravaging mist lies heavy on her shoulders, and her shoulders alone. Mirabella has disappeared.
Katharine’s reign remains intact—for now. When Mirabella arrives, seemingly under a banner of truce, Katharine begins to yearn for the closeness that Mirabella and Arsinoe share. But as the two circle each other, the dead queens hiss caution—Mirabella is not to be trusted.
In this conclusion to the Three Dark Crowns series, three sisters will rise to fight as the secrets of Fennbirn’s history are laid bare. Allegiances will shift. Bonds will be tested. But the fate of the island lies in the hands of its queens. It always has.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not a single bad thing to say about this series. The plot and the characters are great. The story does not extend too much like many of the monern series. The ending is pretty good and the narration is excellent.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My book review is on Goodreads.
Long story short, it was a good ending for the series but not the best. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5All the plot twist and figurative language made it my second favorite Book series I’ve ever read next to the red queen books if you have not you should go listen to those books by Victoria aveyard
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The characters, the world, and the story are also rich and interesting without ever feeling overwhelming.
The author delivers yet another fantastic sequel. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a way to end this amazing series! None of it was cliche at all and I love that!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5star
It was ok. Still so many questions unanswered still. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Marvelous finish for the series. Looking forward to Blake's next project.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A lot of things happened that I didn’t expect and a lot happened that I did. Ultimately, a solid ending to a solid series!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this final book in the Three Dark Crowns series, the question of the sister's fate and the island's future are answered.The Elemental QueenMirabella has never been my favorite character and the decision she made in the last book made me dislike her even more. But the love that she has for Katherine and Arsinoe shines so brightly in this book I couldn't help but like her. While she will never be my favorite character. I grow to really respect and like her in this final book.The Poisoner QueenI will always love Katherine. She is ruthless and power-hungry and even more so in this book. I will always remember her how she was before she was possessed with the dead queens. Katherine's struggle with the dead queens was one of my favorite parts of the book.The Naturalist Queen Arsinoe will always be my favorite of the sisters. I have always loved her spunk, loyalty, bravery plus who doesn't love a character who has a pet bear. I love Arsinoe and Billy's relationship. They are so adorable together. The friendship between Arsinoe and Jules has always been one of my favorite parts of the story and still is.The Legion QueenJules has always been one of my favorite characters. I don't want to say much about her character because of spoilers but she continues to be one of my favorites in this book.And one to be QueenI loved seeing old characters return in this book. This book has tons of twists and turns and that final battle was amazing and heartbreaking. The Queen Crowned was who I was rooting for and I am sad to say goodbye to these characters and this world.Rating: 5 stars
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Honestly, this was a pretty solid ending for this series. I didn't see who would ultimately wear the crown and my opinion changed after each new book; even in this one I was kept guessing until the end. Five Dark Fates is the fourth and final installment of the Three Dark Crowns series and finally solves the question over who will rule the island. You have the triple queens (who did NOT successfully kill each other as tradition decrees) and now the popular Legion Queen, Jules, a commoner born with insane gifts that not even the queens can match; fighting for the throne that no one really wants. You also have the friends, lovers, and consorts trying to get their piece of their pie (or more realistically, just trying to survive) AND the mist which is getting closer and closer to the island and murdering any who fall under its spell. There's a lot of action, a lot of excitement, and only a teensy bit of romance. Just how I like my teen reads to be. A pretty solid series from start to finish.
