Spice: No 🌶, but filled with moments of heartwarming love & bits of steamy moments!

I would first like to thank the author for the eARC opportunity! Like always, this review is voluntary & honest.

Writing this review has me filled with is such a bittersweet feelings because I remember signing up to read an advanced reader copy of the first book of the series, which was also the author's debut book, & falling in LOVE with it. The second book became another favorite that stole my heart & this third book, which is the conclusion to this series, HAD ME FEELING EVERYTHING.

This journey has been a beautiful one, beginning to end. We've got forbidden love, forgotten memories and ANGST GALORE. The plot Kristin created was such a unique one, as well as her characters who grew tremendously throwout the series & defied so many odds. This was a story of star-crossed lovers, I feel this is the best way to describe the main characters. Their love was one that was fighting remain alight for CENTURIES. It spans lifetimes.

Faelyn is a character I will forever hold close to my heart. Her growth, especially from book 2 to this one, had me tearing up by the end. She is a character that's been selfless from the very beginning, fighting to regain her kingdom & prioritizing the wellness & happiness of her people above all else. There was no place for selfish wants, that is until she meets a certain thief who brought her to life in all the ways she never knew she needed. Faelyn prioritized others before herself for years & it was heartwarming to see her realize her happiness was a priority as well. Faelyn is a kind, just & fierce Queen who's beloved by many & that love was one she deserved after so much pain & hardship.

Bastien, he is another character who I will hold close my heart forever & always. His story had my heart hurting & hoping he got the happiness he truly deserved. His perseverance & the way he never lost the light in his heart. His kindness even when he grew up surrounded by cruelty. The person he was shaped to become was one I was so proud of. One I rooted wholeheartedly for. He became a hero to many & he remained so humble & selfless. His love & dedication to Faelyn left me in awe at times at how pure & powerful it was. Their bond was just beautiful overall.

This was such a beautiful conclusion to the series & Kristin tied everything together in such an incredible way. I will truly miss these characters & this world she created. Like I said, it's bittersweet that this series is completed! This Upper YA Epic Fantasy series is one I wholeheartedly recommend. If you haven't started the Fated Born series, you should definitely give it a shot. I promise you will not regret it 🤍
