I just finished Fated Throne and… holy moly, I need a lie-down now! This one didn’t ease up—it slammed the accelerator straight to chaos, then leapt off a cliff into more cliffhangers! The tension is off-the-charts. Lionel is the worst—I loathe him with every fibre of my being and I’m practically vibrating, waiting for him to get what’s coming. His power-hungry scheming, the way he twisted rare magic into bondage and ruled with an iron fist—ugh, unbearable.
Meanwhile, the Vega twins, are just everything. Their bond, their resilience, their sheer force when they stand together—I just adore them so much I could burst. Their evolution, from terrified girls into true queens, is beautifully intense. And then there are the Heirs, I want to hug every single one (but especially Darius—with his much-needed redemption and emotional complexity). Geraldine, too—her arc, her loyalty, her buttery bagels, her badassery—genuine queen energy right there.
By the last quarter, I was utterly wrecked: heartbreak and hope tangled so tightly I couldn’t process. That explosive, epic crescendo where everyone rallies, magic clashing, rebellions igniting, sacrifices made—it scorched through me. The sheer emotional layering, the roller-coaster of character arcs shifting from despair to fierce defiance… it’s wild, it’s raw, it’s addictive.
I cannot wait to see Lionel’s reckoning—I’m ready. But I’m also dreading it, because the emotional fallout is going to be brutal. After this ride, I love the Heirs, the twins, Geraldine, Orion & Gabriel even more than before. And as always, I’m both healed and shattered—and already desperate for the next book.
