This book was just as good as the other two in the series. I’m glad Ellysetta is finally showing some backbone and gaining some confidence in herself and her abilities. The only thing is that it seems not a lot has actually happened in the story considering this was the third book.

This time it just didn’t hit the spot as it did with the other two books. Maybe it’s because I waited a year to read the next one or maybe I was just not in the right mindset for this book.
I still love the characters. But I do miss Elysetta’s city. I am happy we got to get around and explore the fey grounds but somehow I miss the city lol

I can't stop, won't stop, reading this series. Will Ellysetta find her song? Will they complete their bond? Will the High Mage be defeated? Will I ever get to meet a giant flying cat that has poisonous fangs and can breathe fire? Ok, the answer to that last question is probably 'no', but I will continue to binge-read this series to find the answers to the other questions. Have I mentioned I am obsessed with this series?
Audiobook note: I seriously disliked the narrator for this one and after only one chapter I had to switch to the ebook version instead. Sadly, this narrator is used for the final two books too, so it looks like I won't be listening to those either.

This one was my favourite out of the whole series, I love the plot, the writing, the characters. Well what's there not to love? Except a couple of other foolish people thinking they are doing the right thing but we can move past that.
Starting this series I didn't think I would add any book in them to my favourite list but this one stole my heart, I am usually not a fan of the 'old' writing or courting way but I love it in this one!
Definitely worth a go for anyone looking for a new series to invest their time with in this boring quarantine.

It just gets better and better. I like the consistency of The Tairen Soul series. It is great for those are interested in diving into the series by planning to read all the books, one after the other. I can't imagine the torment past readers must have had, waiting for the next book to come out given how C.L Wilson loves to end her books. It is not a cliffhanger, the book just ends...randomly? In King of Sword and Sky, we travel to the Fading Lands and meet various Fey and tairen & prepare for the war against the Eld.
The stakes are high as always. The mages' evil know no bounds and of course, of course High Mage Vadim Maur concocted a among many other unspeakable acts. Being such long-lived creatures, the Fey were totally blindsided...they never "checked" themselves, I guess?
Many new characters are introduced in King of Sword and Sky, some of whom have a familial relation to Ellie (unbeknown to her, of course, the poor chit). It makes me eager for the chapter where Ellie and other Fey come to possess the knowledge of Ellie's true parentage.
