i’ve never cried at a book before, but silver flames really did it for me. i see so much of myself in nesta, in how she carries herself and how she heals throughout the book. her earlier character traits in the series reminds me so much of me before therapy, and this book reminds me so much of my own recovery—of learning that i am deserving of love and support and forgiveness. mist and fury was definitely my favorite of the series, but i have to give this five stars because of what it made me feel. nesta archeron you are so special to me!!!

My least favorite of the series but still have to give it five stars cause it is still very good, had some complaints on this one but enjoyed the character development and inspiration side of it, definitely looking forward to future books to get more of a story closure.

Just looking for a more complete ending but hopefully not the last book, still would give five stars as a series but found this one my least favorite, very inspiring and good development enjoyed the story, just thought some was unrealistic and unfinished

Not my fave in this series. Bonus points for great chemistry, smutty bits and badass warrior ladies. 

Trigger warnings for assault and dangerous childbirth.
