I would like to thank the publisher for providing me with eARC of the book in exchange for an honest review!

I listened to the audiobook format that is narrated by Rebecca Lee. I loved her narration so much! Her voice was very soothing to listen to and added to the whimsical atmosphere of the story. I'd definitely recommend the audiobook for this book!

The Third Daugther was fun and a perfect for hot summer days when you want to listen to something fun, engaging but not completely complex. It reminded me of old Barbie princess movies.

I enjoyed the characters a lot, mainly Sabinne. She was so sweet to anyone and even though she carried sadness in her heart, she was so nice to anyone. I also liked the idea of the chosen third daugther as their saviour with a great power. The story is definitely on the political side of story types and I think it was done well. It ended with a somewhat clifghanger, too, so I'll definitely pick up the second book of this duology.

The only reason I'm giving it 3* is that it took too much time for something interesting to happen. I believe I got invested into the story around 60-70% mark, so I needed to get through the detailed and less exciting beginning. After that, I enjoyed it!

Also, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys:
✨ whimsical, fairytale-like vibes
πŸ’ž slow-burn romance subplot
🏰 politics between royalty and church
πŸ‘ΈπŸ» princesses and the chosen one
