I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review, so I will endeavour to do that.
It has been a long journey to get to the end of this series, although the time has flown by with the fast pace of the books. Releasing Chaos is different only in length. Compared to book one, this is gigantic. I didn't feel the length though and really appreciated the fact it wasn't split into more books. At first, I wasn't sure about all the points of view, but they never wavered from the designated speaker and were essential to getting the whole story. In the end I appreciated learning more about all the characters.
Everyone gets their just desserts and happy endings and new beginnings abound. The journey to get there wasn't easy and I loved that there were twists and strife rather than everything being easy. The battles were fierce and so detailed I felt like I was watching it in a movie.
I felt the love and bond between all the characters and hurt when they hurt. There are some relationships that may seem odd to the average human but made sense to the lycans.
The series as a whole could have used a better proofreader, though. It sometimes took me out of the story when I had to decipher a sentence, but my love of the characters, mythology, and settings kept me reading on.
I eagerly look forward to reading the tales of the children and also hope there are more books in the magi series. I'm not ready to relinquish this world!

Great ending
This is such a great ending to an amazing series. It had all emotions and the characters development is amazing.

Review for Bookwinked
Holy gods of books! This book was big. But then I like big books and I cannot lie!
Getting serious now. Releasing Chaos is the last book in the Sumeria’s Sons series. It’s a series I followed since the beginning and before it was re-released by Less than Three Press. I’m sure glad the series got finished.
In this last book everything comes together and it gets a bit messy and complicated, but it all works out in the end.
Releasing Chaos picks up almost directly from where it left off in the previous book. With Nathan’s imprisonment and let me tell you, that is only the beginning. Unlike the other books, a lot of characters get screen time or rather page time in this book. That was one of the downsides for me. While I understand the reason for it, it made the book jumpy and all over the place. At the same time, I also thought it was needed to bring this story to and end. So I’m fence sitting on this one.
The plot works towards the big climax that was coming from the beginning of the series, and I thought that was well done. What liked very much is that the story didn’t just stop there with the happy ending. The heroes won the day, but we get a look in in their happily ever after. Not many books do this as it’s not something that is easily written. Either you overwork it or it just gets cheesy. In the case of Releasing Chaos, I thought it was done right.
The book is not without its faults. There are some minor inconsistencies and I think it could have done with a last read-through, but to be honest, in the scheme of this book, it didn’t bother me as much as it does with other books.
The writing was good and strong and flowing. Not overly flowery or over explanatory. So should you read Releasing Chaos? Well, that depends on if you liked the previous books, because you can’t read this one without it. If you did then hell yeah, go pick it up!

Fantastic end to the series
5 ⭐️
This whole series has been fantastic and leading up to this final battle. This long instalment was a fitting end as it tied up all the loose ends and connected all the dots from previous books, even ones I didn’t realise where there at the time.
I liked that this series focused on characters, and seeing the guys all grow into who they were meant to be. I was floored by Tristan’s empathy and compassion dealing with the people who had wronged him. The way that these decisions came back and tied in with the storyline was well done, especially Theo’s storyline. But if I had to choose a favourite character I think I would struggle as they all had great qualities
Having this book told by alternating POVs helped moved the story along, and I spent my time trying to savour it whilst also trying to steam through and find out what would happen.
This was a enjoyable series to read and I recommend it
