I cannot even begin to describe the love I have for this series. I loved every book, every character, and I’m so sad that it’s over, for now, until the next book comes out.
I read all 4 books in 2 days and now I don’t know what to do with my life

Oh my god I loved this book!
I loved that at the end the author said she really struggled writing that story and had to start from scratch. I really believe the hard work really shows because this book is far superior to book 1&2 in terms of plot and character development. For me anyway.
It was not stagnant the way the two previous books had been. The pace in this one just kept going. It was perfect. It was absolutely packed with action and adventure.
Even the romance and sex scenes were better.
I also much preferred the chemistry between Shyaree and Gabe to the one between Evie and Declan.
And also the progression of the romance and also other friendships was great.
I find in this book the friendship between Declan and Gabriel had a lot more depth than that of Declan and Killian. As a reader you can really feel the author put a lot of work and honestly it is my second favourite of the series (sorry the prequel is still number 1 for me).
I guess if I have to be picky all I’ll say is that the first part of this book I didn’t like the hot/cold, pushing her away bs. It was very unlike Gabriel. He is usually super flirtatious and not afraid to pursue Shyaree. So when he said a few cruel things to her in the beginning to make her hate him it felt very “Declan”. Almost like the author was trying to turn Gabriel into Declan 2.0 and it was very off putting. But thankfully it didn’t last long and Gabriel remains the witty charming fae mercenary we know and love from book 2.
Really enjoying this series but I have to say still no books have managed to top the Killian prequel for me.
I would really love to see previous characters (Killian in particular) have more of an actual role in the plot besides the prequel. Like a CL Wilson’s Tairen Soul type of story telling where the side characters really play an important role.
And also I must say the female friendships are very much lacking in this series. I’d like to see more of Evie, Mailin, and Shyaree kick ass together rather than just spend all day at the infirmary lol
From the ending of this book it sounds like the next book will focus on Zion. I can’t wait!

I potentially liked this spin off more than the first two books. The characters were great and the plot was quite compelling actually.
As with all in these series it’s a little heavy on the romance to plot ratio, but I really liked this one.
3.75 bc writing and prose is okay, and I wish the plot were more developed but if you like a typical romance fantasy you will love this
