This was SO BORING.  To make a 19 hour audio book predominantly about 2 formerly side characters that are so utterly boring?!? Especially after the excitement of the last book that brought so much interest. The dark fae. Faith’s journey. The best part of this book was the epilogue with faith. But most of this books was just boring star crossed love. And I just didn’t care and couldn’t wait for it to be over. 

I’ll continue the series because that epilogue leads me to believe it will get good again. Hopefully there is much less Nicolas and Toria. Because snorefest.

“I am home.”

That is how I feel when I read this series. They are all truly so beautifully written, so much so that you are immersed into the story and can visualize as you read, which I love. A Clash of Three Courts was no different.

I felt all the emotions when going through ACOTC. From all the questions answered, truths revealed, and twists and turns that I did not expect. What really got me was Nik and Tauria’s relationship and it’s progression. They broke my heart, but it got put it back together for the very best reasons. It was everything I needed.

Their character growth was done beautifully. Nik and Tauria’s strength and perseverance was unmatched. Even Tarly… I thought I would end up disliking him, but he definitely pulled through.

I really loved the political side to this story and there were so many times I was left shocked; there were even some tears. I am still reeling!

I couldn’t recommend this series more, especially this installment as well. You definitely do not want to skip! Thank you so much to Chloe for sending me this ARC in return for an honest review! So ready for the next one already!

Very slow in the beginning which made it hard to get through. I love the characters but the plot was moving so slowly. The end made up for it though. 3.5 stars.

I love the main characters, so I was a little distraught at first realizing this wasn’t a continuation of what happened to Faythe. But, omg, this book had me on the edge of my seat.

Spoilers ahead!

Tarly found a way into my heart, and apparently Tauria’s too. His cold exterior doesn’t match his heart. I could so be team Tarly if it weren’t for Nik. The balcony scene?!

Another amazing book by Chloe! I was originally sad to see that this book was not centered around Faythe, but I am glad that Nik and Tauria had a whole book to flesh out their story. Their love story was so wonderful and even though they spent most of the book apart, it only made their reunion/mating more special. Tauria is a character that definitely deserved more than a few chapters, so I glad that she finally got her book (and her man). Her storyline with Tarly was slightly frustrating at times as his character is so clearly confused about where his allegiance lies. Hoping we get more of him in the next books as well.

I also loved the extra epilogue of Faythe and Reylan. I cannot wait to dive back into their story!!!

I listened to this on Audible, and I am so glad I did. The performance was amazing and made the characters come to life. Getting the perspectives of different characters than from the first books, made this story even more breath taking and tangible. I feel so invested in every character, every timeline, every plot twist. This was amazing and so much more!
