Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn
3.0
"Knight of the Goddess" by Boleyn wraps up the Blood of a Fae series with a blend of action, romance, and dark magic. While I enjoyed the book, it fell short of my expectations, leaving me conflicted.
The pacing felt rushed, particularly during crucial battle scenes, where I expected more depth and detail. Despite some epic moments, many confrontations concluded abruptly, leaving me wanting more from Morgan and Draven's perspectives. However, the Battle at Tintagel is a shining example of well-executed fantasy warfare.
I was disappointed by the lack of emotional depth in character deaths, which failed to evoke the grief I anticipated. Even significant losses could not provoke my usual emotional response, leaving me questioning whether the fault lay with the writing or my emotional investment. On a positive note, integrating gods and goddesses into the narrative was masterfully done, adding depth to the world-building and delivering unexpected twists.
The characters undergo significant growth throughout their quest to destroy the relics, with Morgan and Draven emerging as their strongest selves. While their relationship flourishes, some dialogue feels overly cheesy, detracting from the seriousness of their situation. Additionally, the dual perspectives of Morgan and Medra provided intriguing insights into Medra's inner turmoil, though specific unanswered questions left me longing for more clarity.
While "Knight of the Goddess" may not match the enthralling quality of its predecessors, it still offers a captivating blend of dark magic, found family dynamics, and steamy romance. I recommend the Blood of the Fae series to fans of enemies-to-lovers romance and those seeking a unique spin on Arthurian legend with a fae twist.
