LOVED THIS ONE. Like I almost wish these books had started here…but I can’t decide if I would’ve loved it as much without the history of the first two books. Anyways! As an avid Sarah J Maas reader, the plot line was predictable, but I wasn’t even mad about it because it held just enough individuality and STOLAS, I mean come on. Just keep giving us more of him and I am HERE for it! Archeron can go crawl in a hole a die

3.5 stars - and all of them for Stolas

I’m enjoying this series, even if some parts are SLOOOWW and the plot is so utterly predictable, because Stolas exists and he’s delicious. This slow burn better turn into at least a campfire soon because good LORD I’ve been waiting.

Oh. My. Gosh! That was the most all-consuming book I've read in a long time! I am hooked on this series! The first 2 books were great, but this one.... this one pulled me in and kept me captivated until the very last page. I cannot wait to read more of this wonderful story. I received an ARC of King Maker and I am so appreciative. I absolutely love everything about this book!
I rooted for Stolas all along. The Beast needed his Beastie to love him and once she did, it all came together perfectly. Haven might have made mistakes along the way, but she followed her heart and in the end, it saved her whole family.

This book took my a surprisingly long time to get into, but once I got into the plot, I couldn’t put it down. Stolas and Haven and Surai are amazing characters and I love them so much. The amount of reveals in this book has me both worried and excited for the next and final book in this series. The last 4 pages had me crying and I cannot wait to see how this story will wrap up. I’m not worried that someone or multiple people are going to die in the next book, so that will be depressing. This world is so intricate and amazing as well as the characters. Stolas is my personal favorite of course. Such an amazing series.
