Kendare Blake's Pronunciation Guide | Three Dark Crowns Series

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love how half the time she's like idek guys 😂

[@beamingforbooks]

Jay G she really doesn't care 😂

[@queendsheena1]

I love her nuanced 'i don't give a shit' attitude. Hey as long as the readers love the book, pronounce the words the best you can.

[@ashtoneva4926]

I love her chill attitude toward her readers pronouncing the names. She's such an awesome person. As long as we're enjoying her stories, she doesn't care how we pronounce it.

[@geminibynature]

Katharine is Katareen? 😱

[@mitalirajput3004]

SpikyCypress same

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

I pronounce some things wrong but I'm happy to see that she doesn't really care that much about it xD

[@aprilhill8738]

I appreciate the pronunciation guides, I remember my brother commenting back when the Lord of the Rings movies came out how happy he was to finally have a pronunciation for some of the names that his brain refused to decipher.

[@sweetlivs3105]

I pronounced all of these correctly except for Katherine and Gave Noir. Katherine for obvious reasons and I pronounced the Gave in Gave noir like Gavé.

[@lunaviola8599]

haa I pronounce it as _gaive_ noir ;D

[@boxofnicecrayons]

If it makes you feel better, that's how the narrator on the audiobook pronounces it lol

[@adinaleah214]

The name “arsinoe” comes from ancient Egyptian times. Arsinoe was Queen Cleopatra’s sister, who Cleopatra murdered. “Arsinoe” is actually pronounced “ar-sin-oh-ey”

[@draven_of_chaos]

That's how I pronounced it. XD

[@A.renee1998]

I like how the audio book pronounces arsenoe (I people spelt that wrong ) arsen - oy lol

[@dissydemon9497]

I'm assuming Jules is pronounced 'Jewels' but what about her full name? How do you pronounce Juillenne??

[@nikkiej.5875]

I pronounced all of them right. Usually I will mispronounced a lot of the words. Almost done with Three Dark Crowns. I'm really enjoying it. I already checked out book #2.

[@aissataamadou]

I love when their are reading guides bc I tend to butcher names in the weirdest of ways 😅, I actually just got this book in the mail and am so excited to read it soon!

[@lucinaestefania4322]

Thank you I’m reading the book in Spanish and some names I was saying wrong, I’m going to practice the pronunciation

[@briannamcbride3438]

I pronounce anything I don't know ajdskfsk

[@LetsStopThisSong]

i can’t believe i actually pronounced the gave noir correctly in my head

[@user-rv6uz9ee4q]

I'm just glad I said all of them right the entire time

[@draven_of_chaos]

For Arsinoe I said "R-sin-no-E". For Pietyr I said "Pit-air" / "Pit-ear" For Julienne I said "Jew-lee-eye-nn" / "Julie-ine" 'ine' as in 'nine'. For the Breccia Domain I always said either "Brr-ehh-C-ya" / "Brick-uh", sometimes my brain read it as Macedonia.

[@LetsStopThisSong]

oh my brain had the worst time reading Pietyr’s name, after a while i was like “fuck it, i’ll call him Peter” and it ended up being pronounced like that 😂

[@carinabooks]

Yay :D I loved this.

[@ranaabdelwahed4389]

I had such a hard time with Caragh and Pietyr but when someone says it it sounds so simple🙈😂

[@tinytuzi8167]

What!!! mind blown. I've been pronouncing everything wrong and I call myself a fan😭

[@joshuagraham1538]

omg I need to talk to someone about that ending

[@madkaraoke9534]

Joshua Graham talk to me

[@madkaraoke9534]

Wow I pronounced all of these right except pietyr which i knew had to be pronounced Peter but i deliberately said it like pi-ey-ter as in theatre as It gave it a more special feel since Peter is otherwise a common name

[@grangerleri4466]

my actual queen

[@cora9598]

Nobody's mentioning Mirabella? Is it Me-rah, or My-rah

[@nora1667]

Yeaaaah I got everything right!

[@bookcamp6032]

I was saying katharine like Catherine and Arsinoe like ar-sin-o-ay

[@rowan464]

BOOKCAMP saaame

[@rickieblu2598]

When you realise it pronounce so simple but the spelling makes it so complicated 😂

[@fernandafuentes6858]

I said Pietyr as Petyr... too much game of thrones for me. As always I screw up the names so bad 😂

[@tinuviel1127]

The narrator of the audiobook should have watched this video.

[@beamingforbooks]

She's so cute!!

[@cath4922]

But what about Juillenne?

[@elliedereyna5014]

Her name is French (because that is where Madirgal went to when she went to the mainland) and is pronounced: J-wee-en

[@crumbchie3599]

actually, since beltane is a celtic festival, it would be pronounced be-ALL-tin-UH. however, pronounce it however you’d like!

[@dementorskiss73]

I was saying Kath-a- rine

[@raeganjones2589]

I got all except Katharine

[@crapiboughtoninstagram5971]

Been saying “Arsinoe” wrong in my head so long lol! Thank you for this!

[@ap11_]

Piyetir for Pietyr lol

[@tuxedo_mann4911]

Honestly, this is how I pronounced it for the entire series.

[@sophiasings9949]

I always read Pietyr as Pee-air 😂 and so ya I’m not gonna Change that 😂

[@frans.1512]

[@HunnyNetWork]

Omg! I was calling Pietyr pooch-e-air lol. Who knew it was Peter

[@nora1667]

Lmaooo what ? Pooch-e-air?💀

[@alex-jr5lb]

[@glamoire7882]

I always thought it was mad-ri- _jal_

[@elliedereyna5014]

I read it as Arisnoe not Arsinoe.

[@sierra2412]

Cloverleap same!!!

[@charlottecalvert9635]

I cannot be the only person the pronounces Arsinoe ‘Ary- so-knee’

[@der-buchhandel]

Bookstore Berlin Germany

[@humanityyy]

Arsinoe is just ar-si-now???? I've always said ar-si-no-wee because it seemed better than just Arsinoe lmao

[@madnessofmymind]

And yet the audio books are NOT pronounced that way (for a few of the words). L.M.A.O.

[@lauraciz3047]

i pronounced it Ar-i-so-ne help
