Incredibly thrilling, heart-wrenching, and an emotional rollercoaster, Nightwing is a masterpiece of high fantasy. Renee does it again with a story that leaves you holding your breath until the very last page. Youll become more invested in each character, all of which are well fleshed out. Every word plays out like a movie in my mind, making Renee's writing style one of my favorites. Onto the next adventure in the Starchaser saga!

I am sincerely hooked on this series and hopefully these reviews are convincing y’all to pick these books up. They need more love.
This will be a more vague review to keep away from spoilers, but know I LOVED IT.
I love this entire cast. There’s so many fantastic people. All with unique personalities, common goals, strengths and weaknesses. It’s all there. I love that they don’t always make the exact right choice. They’re flawed and growing and it’s my favorite.
There’s a few romance sub plots that got a little more speed this time and I ADORE them. Seeing some of those kiss scenes finally happen, HECK YEAH.
The ending hurt. Oh it did. I love the flow of story with rises and falls and how Dugan always leaves me wanting more.
Overall audience notes:
- Fantasy + Romance
- Language: very little
- Romance: kisses; an implied closed door
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: mentions of rape and sexual assault, PTSD, sexual assault and harassment , physical and weapons violence, abuse, torture, war themes

For a moment, I debated giving this one 4 stars instead of 5. But then my heart won over my brain, so I went with 5 anyway. Why? Let's see...
As the saga progresses, we have more POVs. Book 1 had only 1,which I think was glorious in how well it was managed. Book 2 changed between 2 POVs in a way that felt so flawless and amazing, leaving me in the right place each time. But with this third one, and 3 POVs, I found at times that my brain was being takes from one place to the other too quick. There were too many changes too quickly for my liking (this is just my personal opinion, and this pov changes might seem perfect for others!).
If you're reading this, have in mind that I was so obsessed that I finished this book in the span of 30 hours during which I was exhausted, which is definitely not something healthy to do haha, so this might have also hindered my perception of this third book.
But overall, it still held my heart in a tight fist. I love how through all these books Renee has touched on soo many important subjects in such a delicate way. I love seeing our heroine grow even through her pain, see her battle against herself and her demons as well as every external obstacle thrown at her. I love each and every relationship.
Thinking about it, *mild spoiler ahead* I think what I didn't like as much was Tati's POV and I think it's for mega personal reasons. I think I was expecting something different from 2 characters I have learned to love with my whole heart and then found myself in a thigh rope, not sure how to feel about them anymore. (I'm very particular with relationships, toeing on the ace and aro specs, so relationships sometimes are hard for me to love/understand in books). I think I felt like I was missing a little soemthing there, which is why halfway through the book, I felt unsure.
But I pushed, and every other character arc in there, I loved. I loved how they all kept running into each other here and there and how complicated and vast this universe is.
I can't wait to jump into the next one! (even tho I'll make myself take a day away from the saga to recharge my emotions and brain haha)
Thanks again Renee for bringing us such amazing characters!
