This book was a special treat, as it is written by The Magnificent Three, three superamazingfabulous authors who I fell in love with since each of their book one, and continued reading and loving their work ever since. For them to write a book together is a special gift to their fans and readers in general.
The book has a prologue narrated by a historian and an epilogue narrated by a mysterious character, giving more than a hint of a continuation, which made me incredibly happy. The book further consists of three parts, each of them narrated by one of the sisters and written by one of the authors. This was a brilliant move on the part of the authors, as the book maintains the style but gives each of the sisters a different voice. Each of the stories is fantastic on its own but together they are simply brilliant.
K.A. Knight wrote a the first story of Lorelai, Poppy Woods wrote the second story of Ligeia, and Kendra Moreno wrote the third story of Leucoisa. I have to warn you that these are not warm and fuzzy happy mermaid stories, but they are exactly how they are supposed to be, and there is no other way they could have gone considering the circumstances. Although, there are some incredibly hot and steamy scenes here to leave you breathless.
Lorelai is the first of the sisters we get to know, and she seems to be the innocent one, innocent, in the sense that she is mostly glorifying the humanity without being aware of the ugly side of it. In that sense, I find her story to be the most tragic of all, due to the disappointments she faces.
Ligeia seems to be the most aware of the three, not suffering from the false illusions about humanity. However, that does not make her journey all that much easier. Some elements of her story were too heartbreaking for words, but there is also unique beauty in the utter lack of judgement, ultimate acceptance and unconditional love she encounters.
Leucoisa is the last of the three sisters we meet and the darkest of them all. Her story is quite tragic but not unexpected at all, however, there is something quite surprising she uncovers about herself. Regardless of the overall tragedy, I must admit that I would not want the ending to be any different.
Each of the authors chose a different historical period to consider the ugly sides of humanity, be that overpopulation, poverty, abuse of natural resources, power struggles, or subjugation and abuse of other human beings, and their accounts are so depressingly realistic and painfully accurate that it was not difficult to identify with each of the sister's emotional struggles. It is beautiful how each of them learns, grows, and evolves into their powers and roles. And regardless of what happens, their yearning to re-unite with the other two is stronger than anything. Their mutual love and bonds are incredible and beautiful to observe.
This was an amazing debut of The Magnificent Three and I certainly hope the series, as well as this collaboration will continue. I loved and devoured this book and I can't wait to read more.
