THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK IN THE Royals of Dharia Trilogy.
The war has begun, and with the Queen of Dharia on her deathbed, Aniri’s excessively-proper eldest sister, First Daughter Nahali, finally sees her chance to claim the crown. Aniri and Nahali have never seen eye-to-eye, not since they were girls running through the palace courtyard, but with Prince Malik and Second Daughter Seledri kidnapped, Aniri can’t afford to fight with her sister.

So she follows the First Daughter’s orders and prepares for a war she fears will destroy everything she loves. Her sister has spent her entire life preparing for this job—Aniri prays to the gods Nahali knows what she’s doing.

But when the Queen calls the two Daughters to her bedside, she sends Nahali off to prepare for war… and tasks Aniri with a secret mission. She must go after the power-mad prince of Samir and stop his deadly skyship. It may cost Aniri everything, including a chance to ever return home, but she defies the First Daughter’s orders and embarks on a desperate mission to save the people she loves from a war that will tear all three Queendoms apart.

FIRST DAUGHTER is the final book in the Royals of Dharia Trilogy. It is told from Aniri’s point of view.

Grand Finale

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017

Aniri is ready to do anything to save her home kingdom and her future kingdom, but first daughter Nahali will be the new leader of Dharia soon and they don’t always agree. Nahali thinks war is the answer while Aniri still hopes that war can be evaded by stopping the second son of Samir and his deadly skyship from within.

Twists and turns and adventure cover the pages of this last novel. Of the three Royals of Dharia books in this trilogy, First Daughter is the most exciting and filled with the most action! The book was very fast paced.

Aniri grew and changed so much in the course of these three books, coming into her own as a soon-to-be queen of her own kingdom. Each of the sisters of Dharia; Seledri, Nahali, and Aniri grew into their own by the end of this trilogy. I loved how their bond of sisterhood was the strongest in the end and seeing their love for each other as they fought for each other and their kingdoms was wonderful to behold. I loved how different each of the sisters were in their personalities, their actions and their political predicaments.

A great ending to a fantastic, steampunkian and historically-angled trilogy!

What a wonderful last book in a great series. I thoroughly enjoyed this series from beginning to end. It wasn’t what I was expecting when I starting reading, but it surpassed my expectations. I enjoyed the characters, the fact that I couldn’t figure out what was going to happen at every turn and the uniqueness of the story. I have loved everything I’ve ever read by this Author and will definitely keep looking for her books to read.

It's war between The Second Son of Samir and the nations of Jungali and Dharia. At least it will be, if the Second Son succeeds in killing the First Son and, likely, Seledri and her unborn child. With the Queen of Dharia recovering from an assassination attempt, it's up to Aniri and her oldest sister, First Daughter Nahali, to prevent a war. While Nahali is tasked with planning an attack in the case it becomes necessary, Aniri is to work behind the scenes and on the ground in Samir. This puts Aniri and Nahli at odds with one another, at least that's how it seems to Aniri.

Aniri began this series as a child in many ways. By the ending of this book she was an adult, and, more importantly, a wonderful Queen. I really enjoyed her as a character, on her own and interacting with her sisters, husband, and friends.

This was such a satisfying ending to this series. I understand the author is planning a second series set in this world and I cannot wait.

Once again an excellent book in this high adventure Steampunk themed book. Lots of plots and a very fast pace keep this political thriller moving along nicely. It is interesting how the three daughters evolve through these three books. I like the way the author shares the skills and smarts of the three girls without making one the dominate heroine even though the majority of the three books revolves around the third daughter who is more of a magnet for trouble than everybody else put together.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who loves fantasy/adventure books with a dab of Steampunk and a dash of romance.

Perfect End!

What a great end to a wonderful trilogy! While Second Daughter ended with a major cliffhanger, First Daughter picks right back up into the action. Aniri takes on her biggest task of all: preventing war, rescuing her sister, and reuniting with Ash. Thankfully, she has the help of some of our favorite characters, and a few new ones, as she sets out on this new adventure.

Of course, because this is First Daughter, we get to see more of Nahali, Aniri's oldest sister. Oh my goodness. . .I'm not sure if this is a treat or not. Yikes! Even I was intimidated by her! However, Aniri being her witty, charming, and loveable self, can win any heart to her side, and in the end, some hearts might even surprise you.

If you haven't read this trilogy, you need to! I read a lot of books, but these will always stay with me. I think that says a lot!

I purchased this book after reading the first & second. The author did a fantastic job keeping the action going throughout all 3 books.
Once again, the Third Daughter plunges into the fray unlike other princesses. Complete the journey with Aniri yourself to understand why I gave these books 5 stars each!
I highly recommend this book to be read after reading, The Third Daughter ( The Royals of Dharia, Book One ) & The Second Daughter, ( The Royals of Dharia, Book Two).

Again, the royals of Dharia are in peril, along with all three fantasy Queendoms. This dramatic, suspenseful, harrowing tale will pull you into the adventures and will keep you wondering what will happen next! Lots of action, danger, intrigue, twists and turns in this story with very memorable characters. I highly recommend reading this three book series in chronological order.....don't miss it!

All three books in this series were wonderful! If you like to stay up late because you can't put a book down, this series is for you! The queens in these books are women who learn to become brave when faced with untenable situations. Although we may have been predisposed to dislike the First Daughter after reading the first two books in the series, we find that our heroine is another daring sister to does what she must to accomplish her goals. You will love all three of these books!

The other day I reviewed the first book in this series, I have since read the other two books.
The Royals of Dharia (3 Book Series) by Susan Kaye Quinn
Given the titles of the subsequent books, I was pleasantly surprised to see they are both still written from the perspective of Amiri, the Third Daughter. In the first book, you fall in love with this independent young woman, so I am glad to see how the story develops through her eyes.

At the start of the second book we discover that Seledri, the Second Daughter of Dharia, has been poisoned, so Amiri postpones her wedding to go care for her sister. This is complicated by the fact that Seledri, is is also married to the man in line for the Samir throne, but all is not at peace there, and it looks as if all is heading towards war.

The third book looks at Nahali, the First Daughter of Dharia, who has to take over from her mother who is injured, to be acting Queen of Dharia in this time of war. In the role that she was born for can she work with her younger sister Amiri to achieve peace, or is she more concerned with her reputation and rule?

I read these books in a few days, I really enjoyed them.

I hadn't realised that they were written in "Bollywood style" until I read the reviews after writing my own a few days ago. Having chosen the book based on title and author's name (Q in my list, if you're following), I had no idea. Yet, in my mind's eye, I did place the story in the kind of Indoasian landscape, whether it's 'realistic' or not, totally bypassed me as I'm used to reading fantasy.
Similarly I hadn't come across Steampunk as a specific literary genre - I just think of it as a fantasy / SciFi crossover - but that really fits, and I will be looking out for more books along these lines.

There are twists and turns in these books, romance, politics, and advancing technology. If only there were dragons, it would be my perfect book!

Susan provides a variety of characters, each enriching the tapestry of the story and enhancing the flow of the plot. We see Aniri rising to the occasion, and even though she is the youngest she is the one who bolsters her elder sister, the First Daughter, helping her to become the queen that Dharia needs.

A well thought out end to the story. There are all kinds of emotions we can experience by reading the series. The way how Aniri helps Nahali what she is capable of and bring out her true softer side is plot written beautifully thank you Susan for this amazing trilogy
