The third installment of The Beasts of the Briar swept me away to the Spring Court! At every twist and turn I was delighted to learn even more about our cast of characters and the Enchanted Vale. Elizabeth Helen has crafted an intricate and vibrant world, and Forged by Malice opened doors to secrets, pulled at my heartstrings, and heated my blood with anger and with love! 😉 I cannot wait to see what awaits in the next book.

overall this books is really good! i feel like all of the books are a bit slow in places, but it makes up for it with giving us things we want i.e new mates and new important information. i can’t wait to find out what happens next!

I absolutely love this series and I'm so sad I have to wait until summer for book 4!!
Some of the plot twists I'd predicted since book 1 but I still really enjoyed this book despite not being surprised by the reveals. 
I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy and romance!!

5.0

Amazing! I've loved the entire series so far, I called some of the plot twists but they definitely got me in the end there with another one, sets it up nicely for another book. I seriously love these characters with my whole heart. The book is full of action but still finds a way to balance it. Definitely qualifies as a book I'm excited to re read down the road
