Although this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I’m gonna miss these characters and world so much. Pearson does an amazing job transporting you into the story, and I cannot wait to jump into Dance of Thieves next.

The Beauty of Darkness is the last book in The Remnant Chronicles trilogy and I was not expecting all the twists and turns that Pearson made. This was an excellent conclusion to a trilogy that kept me on my toes. My love for Rafe and Lia and their relationship deepened so much in this book. I 10/10 recommend this series to anyone!

Amazing, dont read if you just want romance, its there for sure, some real raw love. But its used sparingly because this is a fantasy book.
