5.0

I cannot speak highly enough about this series! I was hooked from the start and this has quickly become one series I will boost and get others to read!!
I absolutely LOVE Lia's character. She is everything I want in my FL. She's smart, impulsive, brave, strong, empathetic, vulnerable, big hearted, passionate, fierce, bold, quick tonged, and beautiful. She makes mistakes but learns from them. She's brave but vulnerable. She loves hard and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those she cares for and that doesn't only include her inner circle but for everyone. She's morally grey when she needs to be and that is one of my fav traits (maybe that shows what kind of person I am lol).
This book has EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. You want revenge, check. You want war, check. You want love, check. You want to jump in the book and smack people around a bit, check! You want to laugh, cry, scream - check, check check! Edge of your seat battles that leaves you wondering who will make it out alive, check! And believe me I teared up at the end. I laughed at the end. My heart was beating so hard lol! Emilia does a great job cracking your heart then putting it back together and she nailed it with this finale! She does a great job making you feel all the feels each character on the page puts out and I don't say that lightly. I mean, I even - FOR A VERY BRIEF MOMENT - felt bad for the Queen.... very brief lol. I loved the side characters and their growth throughout the whole series, it was honestly so well written that I felt complete at the end.
3 books was the perfect amount for the series but I do hope we get more. Maybe side character novella or something but I think this trilogy was amazing!

"Never and Always" - love this so much!
