I just realised that Katharine thought Half Moon was always so easy to maneuver through the woods because he was the best horse on the island but it was actually because she could control him very well with her naturalist tendencies that she knew nothing about.

sudden headcanon
i can't remember if I've seen this before, someone has already posted something along these lines, or if I've already posted before, but I'll say it again dangit
one of my headcanons for the naming of the queens is that each one is actually the soul of a woman who died irl in our history in unjust/tragic ways. the goddess then salvages their spirits and puts them into bodies resembling their bodies in life (why the queens never look alike despite being triplet sisters), just this time they have black hair and black eyes. because of this rebirth, the goddess views them as her 'daughters', for whom she has saved and given a new chance at a life they should have lived with all the opportunities for wealth, power and respect they deserved in their previous lives.
how this relates to the ascension year i am not sure as of yet

I need to talk about the Three Dark Crowns series. I finally finished the series, and I'm disappointed and slightly angry.
I love this series
I thought the series was about how adults fail growing children and leave them with a broken and corrupted mess to fix.
SPOILERS
I thought our triplet queens were going to figure out the true histories of the reigns before them (like the Blue Queen and Oracle Queen) and then go on to reveal the treacheries that took place and then teach the truth of the Island.
Is Low Magic ACTUALLY the Goddess' truest magic? I think it is, it requires: blood, sacrifice, and intent. And it's as tempestuous as she is. (IF it is, it would make sense why she chose Madrigal to continue her line.)
The Legion Queen Plot: I hate it.
SO THE GODDESS JUST PUSHED THE REDO BUTTON!? Like, Jules CLEARLY was the Goddess' chosen guardian for her queen. I thought her final battle was her prophecy, "being the end of the queens," would have been IT.
Nobody spread the truth of the blue queen.
No adult in power was faced with the fact that they defied the Goddess' will, they just recieved the consequences for it (Natalia Arron)
Mirabella:
I thought Mirabella's death was going to be a sacrifice that was her own to make, not to avoid becoming Zombie Queen 2.0
Katherine:
I thought they were going to tell Katherine everything and get her fully involved in saving Fennbirn. I thought her death/sacrifice was going to be THE course correction. I thought with her, Mira's, and the losing Queens' final deaths, the Goddess would be ESPECIALLY pleased with Arsinoe as Queen Crowned.
Arsinoe:
Arsinoe, the Low Magic user, clearly pleased the Goddess, which is why I think she lives at the end. Technically, the Goddess got her winner. I think Mira and Katherine telling us that Jules would be the next queen was a mistaken prophecy (or the author shoehorning to make her ending work). I think If Arsinoe was a part of the trip to the shrine, they would have received a crystal clear vision.
I think Arsinoe and Katherine being switched at birth should have been focused on significantly more. It could have led to learning about the histories and intentions of all the gifts. Like, I think the Poisoners were intentionally supposed to be Healers/Apothecaries, but the Arrons corrupted then changed the status quo for power. Arsinoe's gift steered towards healing and low magic,
I think the Goddess' original intentions were for each gift to incorporate low magic as well. The Oracles seemed to have used aspects of it in their craft, which I think led to them being viewed as taboo or mad. The Oracle Queen was imprisoned 500 years before the current story, and the Sight gift was barely known about back then, too.
I adore the world Kendare Blake, but I have many more thoughts too.

I know the three dark crowns fandom has been dead for a while now but I just have to let you guys know I had a dream with Katharine and Pietyr in and even though they never said who they were, I knew.
Anyways I think I killed Kat because of a ruby necklace and money. Also, there was fire. Funnily enough I pushed her off a rooftop

There have been many “who is Katharine’s familiar” theories over the years but I think what she really needs is a creepy little raven to sit on her shoulder and croak out ominous warnings
