This wasn't exactly my favorite of the 3 books in this series but I still enjoyed it just the same and I for one will not break my series collection. It was still fun to read and yes frustrating at times but good frustrations. A good ending to a good series :). ( )

I actually really liked this series. I read it so fast I’m mad at myself. ( )

So, this series holds a very special place in my heart and it might be the only Young Adult series that I inhale in three days tops. I was such a big fan of this series that I actually called four of my local Barnes and Nobel to see if their shipment had come in so that I could go pick it up on the 26th so that I can review the whole book instead of just the excerpt provided by NetGalley. Sadly, I was not able to get my hands on a physical copy but now own an ebook audiobook and a physical book. I also went ahead and bought books one and two in paperback so I could have the series considering I will for sure read this series again. I love all the characters. Harper, Rhen, Grey, and Lia Mara are all back in an installment that will leave you breathless. If you read A Heart so Fierce and Broken then you know Grey is the rightful heir to Emberfall. The book is told from 4 points of view of the four major players in the second book. What I loved is how all four of these characters are beautifully flawed yet motivated by duty, honor, and the fear of the unknown to do the right thing. The chapters that intertwine with Harper and Rhen are devastating not only is Rhen dealing with the betrayal of his brother but the wicked sorcerous Lilith reappears in this book and as wicked as she is I really would have been said if there wasn’t a Lilith appearance. I will say that this is the only book in this series that is getting a 4-star rating. Why you might ask? Well, let me explain. While all the loose ends are tied up and we got a semi- satisfying ending I felt like there was more story to be told. Is there a book four that is the only question I have left? Now I will be happily waiting for Defy the Night that comes out in September of this year. ( )

I really wound up adoring this book. I loved how this book combined all the pervious POV into one book. The best way i could describe the energy of this book was it reminded me so much of The marvel movie Civil war. I really felt for all the characters and was super invested in this story and read it so fast. I loved the developed of the beauty and the beast myth. I really loved all the characters and loved the represention that we got. I am totally hoping we get more book in this series cause I would love too see these characters again. But i am felt like it completed the story also super well. Def a fav series for me to date. ( )
