I am so sad while reviewing the finale book of this series.
I remember being absolutely love with the first book. I remember recommending it to everyone I know. Then I remember being underwhelmed by reading the second book. I still liked it because I was in so much awe with the first one. But this one, I am disappointed.
I really liked Lia Mara in the second book but in this one she has no character and spark. It was expecting so much from her chapters. But nothing happened. She was just a girl behind Grey in love with him and had no Queen like qualities. She didn’t even properly stand up to Nolla Verin when there was a need.
The climax was so short. The book could have been so much better if the initial chapters were smaller and the final war was at least 50 pages longer.
I couldn't read the book in a stretch as I was not enjoying it. Then I used one of my credits on Audible and listened to the Audiobook. Then the experience got a little better. I would recommend that if you struggle with the book like me, just listen to the audiobook at 1.6X speed.
I really think that the series could have been better if it was duology with two longer books. This would have been a better reading experience.

First- The book was in well condition but the delivery handling was very poor which resulted in a few torn scraps.Finally- Please read the reviews of 'Flo', 'Lainey' and 'ThatBookGirl' I completely agree with them and their rants which I was relived that someone felt the same frustration as me.SPOILERS! COME BACK HERE AFTER READING THE BOOK!!I was captivated by Grey in the first book more than Rhen but the 3rd book made me feel so much more for Rhen all chapters coming together making me feel cheated for him!! The spark between Harper n Grey in the first book and his potential feelings for Harper in the 2nd book in the first few pages when they reunited was heart throbbing which I liked but Rhen's love for Harper melts me and if you DIDN'T notice it you need to read the book again.I still prefer Harper to Lia Mara I don't want to make a comparison but something about her just got annoying as the book went on. I do like Grey but with Lia Mara the scene got tiring. I just wanted to skip past the pages to be in Emberfall because that's were something interesting was brewing but I guess the author was cozy in Shyl ShallowI hate the ending which could have been so much more for Rhen who was one of the main character he was just left off to deal with his existential crisis.Grey and Lia Mara had it better off in everything.The side character were Awesome from Tycho, Iisak, Salam, Jake and Noah.Seriously though the ending sucked. It seems like the author had a bias feeling towards Grey and Lia Mara and forgot her other main characters which does not do justice to the book or the readers. I bet The book itself is crying in my shelf!

A masterpiece gone wrong.
By Ranjana D. on 24 October 2021
Tbh,this could have been so so much better. But the ending was Underwhelming to say the least. Every friendship, every relationship of the past seemed to have been neglected or forgotten to be taken into account by the author. The "epic face off" seemed rushed and as much as I am team Grey, I have to say that Rhen deserved better. Way better.

This post contains SPOILERS, please proceed at your own risk:
There is no real clash of kingdoms. There is no war. There is no - OH MY GOD I AM BETTING THIS PARTY WOULD WIN - situation. Brigid has very cleverly woven a story where the entire focus of the story is fixed upon the only REAL antagonist the book really had, LILITH.
We begin reading the story when both the brothers (and their lovers) are trying to cope up with all that has happened so far. Things are messy and with just one wrong step, a full-blown war can be started. None of the two brothers are very happy about this but yet they go on with it because they are too stubborn and cannot really comprise or choose to stand down. Clearly, every single character in this book is dealing with PTSD and I am not surprised even 1% as they truly have gone through so much trauma and it doesn't really seem to stop!
Rhen is also being threatened by Lilith whereas Grey has to routinely face the fear of people of Shyl Shallow about his magic. After sitting down and discussing with Harper, Rhen finally decides to bow down to Grey and not go to war. But, before anything can happen, Lilith is back and she is killing everyone at Emberfall. Harper somehow manages to escape and runs to Grey as she knows he is the only person who can now help her save Rhen from Lilith.
Obviously Grey and the rest of team Shyl Shallow aren't very sure about this as they fear this can might just be a trap that Rhen has set up but they still go through with it. Upon reaching Eberfall they meet Lilith and the clash between Grey, Rhen, and Lilith finally happens. AS you'd expect, Grey somehow manages to kill her with lots of help from his buddies.
Post which the two brothers somehow come to a peaceful understanding of the situation. Rhen gives up his throne to Grey and wishes him to rule Emberfall. Lia Maria discovers that she is pregnant. All four characters live temporarily at Emberfall while Nora Verin rules Shyl Shallow.
And that's about it.
Quickly coming to the things that I really enjoyed about this book -
- The fact that there was no real clash! I was already so conflicted and couldn't really see two brothers hurting each other more! Ugh!!
- The characters have a lot of conflicts, both internal and external and somehow most of them get resolved in quite a satisfying way by the end.
- I really liked how it all came together in the end! I mean a couple of things were predictable, yes, but then there were a lot of fun and surprising and some even shocking moments that I just couldn't guess at all!
- They have the chance to live together and not be at odds with one another. Just one big, happy and peaceful fam!
Things that felt very odd:
- There's no mention of what happens with Jake and Noah by the end of the book! Do they stay in Emberfall/Shyl Shallow or are they back in Washington DC?
- When I first discovered Jake is gay and has a boyfriend I was really happy. Queer people make me happy. But, I am really not happy with the representation given to them. It feels as if the entire purpose to have them was to make the book more diverse! They barely have any moments alone together or any chemistry. It's sad because gay people deserve just as many kisses and love from their partners as much as straight people. While I do understand that they are minor characters, but still, a couple of scenes wouldn't have harmed anyone!
- The chemistry between Harper and Rhen and Grey and Lia Mara feels so awkward even by the end. I don't know what it is, but it feels so weird to me that even after facing so many things together and being there for one another, neither of these couples act like couples a lot.
- The sex scenes! I mean we did get two, that is, if you are calling it sex scenes at all. But, it's just meh! I know this is a YA book so one cant expect very graphic scenes and stuff, but well, for me whatever it had was not enough!
And that's about it.
I thank Bloomsbury India for sending me a review copy and having me on the Instagram Book Tour for this book!
