Another great book! I just cant help but love this series. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of them before now!!!

This intense read is book 3 in the Blood Of A Fae series. This book shouldn’t be read as a stand alone. It should be read in order with the other books in this series.
The romance in this book is situated around an established relationship. Due to the events the romance is more longing.
The book does have some spice. It is deliciously descriptive. It does take a back seat to the plot.
The book moves at a steady pace following the MCs going on separate adventures. This book has lots of self reflection.
The characters are written as perfect as they were in the previous book. We get to know some of the other characters better, as well as getting to know our MCs even more. The banter remains a high point in the series.
The world building is complex but remains in the world previously introduced. There are new aspects added in. This keeps the story growing with each book.

“There are no limits to my love for you, Morgan. When Myntra and Eskira and every place in Aercanum have crumbled into oblivion and the universe itself dissolves into nothing, my heart will still beat for you.”

I'm so obsessed with the Blood of a Fae series, and I still have one more book to read!

Empress of Fae is book three of the series. It starts off right where we ended in the Court of Claws. Morgan is back home in Pendrath, Draven was left behind and remains at the Court of Umbral Flames, and Lancelet is ALIVE. It's been a year since Morgan has been home, and everything has changed. Pendrath is at war with their once friends and neighbors. The citizens of Pendrath are starving, and Morgan's friends are enveloped in darkness. Together, they must put an end to Arthur's madness.

I loved this book from start to finish. I needed more Draven, but his POV, which was added throughout the story, definitely made up for his lack of presence. In the first part of the book, Lancelet's POV was such a lovely surprise, also. All at once, you could feel the childhood trauma, the abuse, and the manipulation that Arthur endured. The ending left me feeling so many different kinds of emotions for him. The ending was written perfectly. 

Thank you so much Briar Boleyn and NetGalley for the copy of Empress of Fae in exchange for an honest review!

Court of Claws, the second book of this series definitely raised the bar and my expectations. And while I still prefer that book to this one, I was entertained throughout the third installment of the Blood of Fae series.

Our FMC, Morgan, really comes into her power in Empress of Fae, and good for her. What I did not like that much, is that Draven was absent for most of the story. I wanted more from his POV. Nonetheless, I'm excited for the fourth and final book of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Do you love a book that:

- He Fell First
- Dual POVs
- Slow Burn

This will be for you and it has even more within!

Yes

I'm not sure why it took me this long, but I finally figured out the King Arthur thing..  why names and what not were familiar. But this... this whole storyline has brought to light another side, so much less talked about. Twisted. Addicting adventure. More secrets revealed, identities revealed... relationships accepted...
