Will they have the strength to overcome the obstacles and overthrow the king? Find out in the adventure of Crown of Three!
Opinion:
I thought Crown of Three was an enjoyable book filled with action, suspense, and adventure. The author, J. D. Blackthorn, did a good job making the characters come alive. He made the world in which the book takes place very interesting, also. I really liked when each of the triplets discovered their powers. My favorite character was Tarlan, because he is resourceful and can think his way out of a tough situation. I can't think of anything I didn't like about this book. This is a great book for anyone who loves fantasy mixed with adventure. I would recommend this book to ages eleven and up.
