My Review

OMG!!!!!! the story is getting better and better in the third book. I was sooo into the story that I did not know it was finished…….and when I finished…I got to know there is more to the story which means that there are going to be more books in the series. I cannot wait to know what happens next. The plot the story, the transformation of characters, and the introduction of some new ones were just amazing. 

Morgan in this book was less annoying and more logical. She is back at the Court of Roses and our girl has grown up playing dangerous spying games and having a hot time with her husband in dreams…Yes!!! Dreams!!!! That was the most awesome part of the series…..she and Rune are very very far away from each other but they are connected through dreams. So she is also kind providing critical information to him and updating him about herself. It’s rather convenient though.  

I am so curious about the story of Morgan’s mother whom we did not know much about We only knew that she ran with Morgan to protect her from her husband whom Morgan saw in the dream. We also don’t know much about her father Gorlois la Fey who might be the eviliest man in this world. but we don’t know the story yet, Maybe he had his reasons which I doubt must be evil. 

There are many disturbing themes in this book from which one is referring to the May Day massacre. There is a tragedy and a major plot twist at the end of the book. On the whole, this was an awesome read having all that needs to be in the High Fantasy book. 

The Best Part:

  1. Morgan reveals her true self in front of Fenyx 
  2. Morgan fighting Fenyx in his dungeon of horrors….that scene was epic
  3. Rune comes at a critical point and saves Morgan

The Worst Part:

I don’t think there was any. Although at some points I felt like there was too much talking and tooo much detail which bored me a little but I understand the detail is important too.

Best Character

Morgan was just amazing in this book

Rune was 💜

Merlin 💔

Guinevere💔💔

Arthur was evil but at the end 😢💔

Worst Character

Fenyx (Evil version of Florian from the first book)

Best Quotes:

Life was unepected. Death was supposed to be a certainty.

That’s where you are mistaken Fenyx, I am no princess.You are addressing the wife of Prince Kairos Draven Venator and the Empress of the Court of Umbral Flames and the Empire of Myntra. and then I conjured my flames. 

My Theories

For Gorlois

Maybe he is Perun….the forgotten god who is mentioned time and time again in the books. He is kind of a scary god who needs blood sacrifices and stuff. 

Happy Reading!!
