Publisher's Summary

Haven escaped the clutches of the new Sun sovereign and found solace in Shadoria, but for how long?

Now that the extent of her powers is known, Solis, Noctis, and mortals all hunt her. Meanwhile, chaos reigns across the land. The immortal realm is ruled by a depraved king who will stop at nothing to reclaim Haven as a weapon, while the mortal lands must choose between serving a tyrant or following Prince Bell, the Kinslayer. 

And below, in the Netherworld, a great evil awaits, amassing an army of untold powers. 

Hunted, plagued by doubt, and torn between duty and love, Haven must find a way to broker peace between the nations before it’s too late. 

Welcome to the Kingdom of Runes, where immortals and humans clash, light and dark magic reign, and mythical creatures lurk in the shadows.

Just make sure to clear out some space on your calendar first!

It's okay

It doesn't drag as much as the previous books. On the flip side, it's predictable and filled with tired tropes that don't even attempt to twist it into something new.

Filler book?

Not very happy with this one. Felt like a Filler book compared to the others. Seemed to focus more on the romance than anything. Sorry but I thought Haven and Stolus were a done deal from the previous book and it had already taken forever to make that happen. For this book to drag it out again over pointless musings.. Well it wasn't fun. Then there's the fact that Haven is starting to lose that gritty tough girl side to her that made her awesome in the first place. In this one she's a bit of a melodramatic panting damsel in a tight dress. And that's another thing. It was like the author got replaced with a dude who wanted to show us Haven through the male gaze. Everything took on a leery edge. Yeah we get it, she's a looker. We didn't need 5 male characters to leer at her to get that.

Also, not happy with the narrator. Is she in a rush or something? Did she realize this was a filler book and just couldn't wait to get to the next one?

This is an enjoyable series.

Full of honor, loyalty, friendship, facing your fears, learning to trust, accepting people's hurt and striving forward. it has all the qualities one wants when it comes to a fantasy / conquest series. No real hanky panky till book 4, so I would classify this series young adult but still well worth adding to your library.

Yes!!

First of all I spent most of the book basically yelling "YES!" and I'm pretty sure when I was in my car I got strange looks from other drivers, but it's fine. Secondly, where's dark bringer? I need it! I love it! I want no NEED more! I love them all! I'm not made for this kind of suspense but I love it so much!

Finally!

It took until the fourth book for it to finally get interesting. I wouldn’t say this series was my top favorite but it’s some thing to listen to when you’re bored.

Aggghh that ending

This is my favorite book in the series so far. Haven and Stolas relationship development. Meeting new branching characters and bonds formed. My heart is breaking right now for knowing what is to come and I know it’s going to rip my heart out when it does. I adore this series and am happily awaiting the next book.

Action packed

I was on the edge of my seat with this one! The end really left me on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next one.

So that happened

I have to agree with people when they say the last portion of the book went by so fast that when it ended,literally just ended less than 15 seconds ago, I screamed "What, are you kidding me!?!" So yeah I don't really write reviews even though I rate things. However, I figured if this got such a vocial response from me then it deserved written a review. I adore this series and I'm already salivating for book 5.

love this book love this series

The story is so captivating that you have a hard time not feeling the emotions of the characters you grow to love. The characters are so well thought out and actually have depth. Can't wait for the next installment of the series.

Overall pretty good

This book started slow and sort of meandered for awhile. It did pick up in the last 1/3 to finish strong. The narrator was consistent and did a good job.

Bargains and the consequences.

To say this book is amazing is an understatement, every single chapter was filled with anticipation and excitement. The storyline is beyond incredible, it had my emotions spinning more than a tornado. The near death moments, and yes there are many of those throughout the series. I thought my teeth might physically break from gritting them so much, the cliffhanger at the end made me scream out in frustration. I can honestly say waiting for the next book will be excruciatingly painful, I want to know what happens so bad I feel like I might explode. This series has been enrapturing throughout the entire series, I can't name any bad points no matter how hard I try. The lore is well fleshed out, the story is strong and consistent. The characters are extremely well written, I've grown very much attatched to every single one of them. I have bought all 4 books in ebook, audio and paperback, they were money well spent. This is a series I will reread over and over again, and never get bored of it. Now if only Stolis was real, too bad I couldn't enter the book like Haven and Stolis did in the story with a rare item. I won't mention what the item is, that's something you should discover by reading this yourself. I highly recommend this series, it won't Dissapoint.

Absolutely loved it

Oh no I am now up to date with this awesome series BUT thankfully the next book is out the end of the month and I can’t wait.
Each book has got better and better constantly weaving plot with twists and turns, always moving world building and character development! Sigh I really do need more now. I listened to the audio version so I may need to wait longer for that to be released to as the narration is perfect bringing these diverse characters to life.
Haven is finally believing she is the goddess born but the rest of the realm won’t follow a mortal and she needs to unite them all for what is coming. As always each book has a quest or task she must undertake and that is resolved at the end of each book. All the while this feeds into the amazing story and the journey to the final destination.
Can Haven and her friends get what she needs to become immortal………… well you need to read and see! This is book 4 and trust me you need to read them all in order. Great news they are all on Kindle Unlimited and remember if you prefer audio then audible has the reduced rate if you have on Kindle.
5/5 epic High Fantasy stars
