Phenomenal! I can't believe their journey is over but I loved being here for the ride! So well written my favorite legend brought to life by Briar Boleyn ♥️

This series is an amazing rollercoaster ride and I wasn't ready for it to end. It consumed my thoughts the entire time I was reading and I will definitely go back to these characters to revisit their story all over again. Draven becoming soft for little Medra made me love him even more. I made up so many theories in my mind while reading but none of them proved to be right.
That little glimpse of on wings of blood was enough to intrigue me and left me wanting more. Excited for more work from the author.

Thank you to the author, publisher and netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

“I see forever with you by my side. Because long after these scars have faded away to nothing, I'll still be standing beside you. You and I? We're eternal.”

This was such a fantastic finish to the series!

Morgan, Draven, and their counterparts embark on a journey where they must face the evil that has been threatening all of their kingdoms and destroy three legendary objects of great power...

I honestly didn't know where the story was going to go from one chapter to the next - it kept me on my toes the entire way through!

Full of many surprises, like throughout the others in the series, this was a thrilling final adventure with Morgan and Draven, and I have loved every last bit!

A huge thank you to NetGalley for allowing me access to this amazing series!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advance copy to read.

The final instalment in this wonderful fantasy series was everything I needed and more.

I've really loved following Morgan and Draven as they've grown along this series. Looking back to book one Morgans character development arc has been phenomenal. She has come a long way from the first time we met her character.

The bond between Morgan and Draven is just chefs kiss! The perfect amount of romance, steaminess and trusting in each other. They are possibly one of my favourite book couples to date.

This book really takes everything from you and leaves you bereft with your jaw on the floor. So many answers and so much resolution.

The series is great for any SJM fans. I would go as far to say as it's on par with ACOTAR.

I’m so underwhelmed.

Also the last bit with Draven right before things went down immediately gave me the ick (iykyk). Why did we do that to my devoted, loving mate… like no I could’ve lived without that plot twist???

—

To be frank, I was massively underwhelmed by this final book in the Blood of Fae series. I had such high hopes for this newly bonded family, especially Morgan and Draven. I wanted an epic showdown. I wanted Morgan to make her father suffer. I wanted her coming for blood and vengeance and retribution for all the hurt he’s caused her and her loved ones. I wanted Draven, supportive and fierce, forever at her side. I wanted Lacelet and Gawain and Guinevere and Hawl and Crescent and Medra to stand up for their home. To fight back and rally at Morgan’s behest.

And while we definitely got bits of that, it felt forced. It felt sluggish. It simply didn’t pack the punch I wanted. We’re hit with back to back losses in this series, and for once, I was hoping for Morgan’s foreshadowed power to save the day. Alas… more tragedy. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, if it serves to further a purpose. Some of these deaths felt like they were thrown in just to have something significant occur, instead of an actual confrontation between Morgan and her father, Gorlois.

Overall, it was an okay ending to what was a wonderful journey. I still love Morgan and Draven with all my heart, but this was not their finest hour imo.
