The Enchanter's Heart by Michele Notaro
5.0
Just....Wow! This is a series that has to be read in order and those who are fans, will be blown away by the final book.
There is so much going on, right from the start, but everything holds and flows really well together. We get to enjoy several characters POV but mostly stay with Sebastian and Ailin. With how much they both go through, it's necessary to follow the story through their eyes but it does help having different perspectives and understanding in certain events.
Following on from Witch's Blood, there is so much destruction with the Beserkers raining down chaos around Brinnswick and Arronston. There is another evil force at play though and our MC's struggle to catch up and find out what it is. The Ellwood family truly come together in this book, bringing their love and strength to each other, especially in times of need. Ailin remains true to self and carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and with so much happening, it becomes an issue with him needing to save everyone, stop everything and stay a step ahead of the enemy.
Even with so much going on (battles, magic, fear, death) there is always time for tender moments between the Ellwoods and even a laugh once in a while which definitely helps to balance the story and make things more manageable for the characters and the reader. Emotions run high throughout the whole book and the author has perfectly conveys everything. I felt right there with the characters, experiencing the highs of love and the lows of loss and war.
Cannot recommend this series enough! Michele Notaro has provided a perfect send off for Seb and Ailin though I'm hoping to hear from them again in the future :-)
