An Echo in the Sorrow by Hailey Turner
5.0
Great setup for the series finale, bringing in new complications and hurts and finally closing up my favourite subplot!

As second to last for the series, An Echo in the Sorrow worked well. It wasn’t as big on the chapter long battles as previous books, but that was still far from mellow – tension was created by other means, mainly court room proceedings and very personal hits, mainly against Patrick.
As usual, the amazing cast of characters was expanded once more, both on the mortal and immortal scale.
I guess you could objectively say that this book acts solely as a filler, tying up some subplots before the big series finale and setting the groudwork for it. Fillers often get a bad reputation that way, but I genuinely enjoyed An Echo in the Sorrow. It didn’t feel uneccessary or squeezed in. Its plot was solid and introduced some new dynamics that I already know will be important in the future. I can’t wait to see how stuff pans out in the final book!!!
The series keeps being entertaining and a pleasure to read. The writing is superb, always holding my attention and making me want to keep reading. Despite the high tension throughout, there were lovely domestic moments, and I adore that the found family aspect isn’t second to the (equally lovely) romance between the protagonists.
I received an ARC and reviewed honestly & voluntarily.
