One of the best endings to a trilogy I’ve ever read. 

I can’t even believe this is the first of Emilia Jae’s stories because everything wrapped up so perfectly you’d assume this is like the 10th series she wrote. 

This book was very diligently paced. It’s broken up into 3 parts. I’d say 1-2 are slower but not in a bad way. Necessary groundwork for part 3 to be the emotionally stressful rollercoaster that it was. 

The character development in this series is top knotch. Following Lia’s story is just incredible. The growth she experiences from book 1 to 3 is masterful. And she never ends up perfect. Always flawed, always acknowledging she needs help. And she’s chaotic, st@bby, sarcastic, stubborn, impulsive, and humble. She is truly everything you’d want in a genuine FMC. 

Our MMC is a MASTER at communication. From the get go and I love him. He is supportive, possessive, also st@bby, loving, a cinnamon roll but could and absolutely would k1ll you. 

The supporting characters. FREAKING YES. I LOVE THEM ALL. One of the most amazing things about this trilogy is the full cast of characters you get. You even get the villains POVs. One of the villains I almost started to feel bad for. Then I didn’t. 😂 The secondary characters are so three dimensional and also experience amazing growth and are so vital to the story. 


While there’s only so much you can do in the fantasy genre before it feels repetitive, I can say as an avid fantasy/romantasy reader, Emilia Jae did an amazing job making this storyline familiar and unique at the same time. Always wanting to know what was going to happen next. 

This was the perfect wrap up and I already miss all our rebels. 

Also honorable mention to our fiery Noxy boy for best the best wyvern and cutest boy in existence. And to the lovely, loyal, companionable Nyra for her support and kisses. 

Thank you so much Emilia for the chance to be an ARC reader for an honest review! It’s been my honor 🥹🫶🏻
