Series Ending Perfection!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2023

*emphasize each word with a clap* This. Is. How. It. Is. Done.

Take notes all “seasoned” authors! Take your time closing out the journey. Keep us guessing til the end (let us faithful readers know you actually care about the work you put out). Tie up ALL loose ends(not in a rush). Give your faithful readers something to smile about, something to remember so we want to share(this series of course).

I loved this series. It was a great joy to read start to finish. An incredible journey with well thought of characters and moving parts of the storyline. What a great mind and gift you have Stella Brie! Thank you.

*Spoilers*
I loved how Arden’s character integrity didn’t waver even when given the option to be the Prime. I enjoyed the gradual collection of her harem and the issues they had overcome in each individual relationship within the harem. I wish we had more dad time with Torin but war waits for no one. I love how we know that Solandis is right and Vargas and her will find each other again.
I’m sad the Killian Blade series comes to an end but glad it’s an ending that is worth the read over and over again.

Stella Brie, keep writing. I will gladly keep reading.

boring

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2022

Finale was boring and anticlimactic. Didn’t give me much excitement to read.

How crazy everyone was obsessed with Fallon’s mom.

Enemies to allies? Open her heart? Will she take on another mate? That’s how I interpreted that letter. Because who was really her enemy that became an ally?

Awesome book and great series. It has non stop action and so many twist and turns you will read it in one sitting. I'm glad I took a chance on this author because she didn't disappoint. I strongly suggest reading this series.

4 stars *I think*

I think this might have been my least favorite of the series, but since I loved all the books that doesn’t mean too much. Here are some of my complaints:

I wish we were able to get a satisfactory ending for Vargas, I feel like he was a thread left hanging, an unresolved plot line, a loose end. He’s gotta find a new body? How’s that going to work out? Where is he gonna get a body? How long is this going to take? Will his mate recognize him? I detest when authors do this to readers. It feels like a cheap ploy to get us to read their next series.

I don’t feel like the relationship between Fallon and Arden was very well done. First of all, there wasn’t a good resolution to the issue of him disappearing and ignoring her for the last half of the second book and the first half of this one. Arden just got tired of being mad. Fallon never even apologized, he just gave excuses. Also, they were supposed to be mates, but they didn’t have any sort of tangible mate bond, not like she had with Valerian. They just got a little tingly when they touched…?

There were a few other issues, specifically regarding the next Prime being the primal sources connected to the sanctuaries…that doesn’t particularly make sense. Especially since the primal sources connected to the sanctuaries don’t seem to strengthen the cadre, only the building itself. How is that going to help the masses? It won’t even help the cadres once they leave the property. This resolution won’t keep the balance between free will and obedience. It makes no sense. Needless to say, I was dissatisfied with that resolution as well. Also, the Primal Source threatens to be watching Arden…why? She’s not the prime, she doesn’t have the prime power…? She refused it and allocated it elsewhere. So why do they need to watch her? This was not well thought out.

Will Arden ever learn to use her elf magic? She ignores it 99% of the time and she’s as weak a baby elf. She doesn’t even show interest in learning. Elf magic lessons seemed to be a brief plot devise in an earlier book to give Arden time to bond with Fallon. Once he flaked it was never mentioned again.

What’s going to happen to the light elf kingdom? What about the old king? Is he alive or dead? Was there a new king chosen? Nobody knows. That was left unresolved as well. Another loose thread.

How about Arden’s dad and the whole dark elf king business? Is Arden a princess now? It was never mentioned. Is she now heir to the dark elf throne? Idk. Is she not ‘elf enough’ to be his heir? Does he need to have more kids? Will the magic choose his successor instead? We get no answers. #loosethreads

I think I was dissatisfied with a lot of the resolutions to the various storylines. There were too many loose ends that weren’t addressed. Several things didn’t seem well thought out or had holes in the reasoning.

Destiny Fulfilled and oh how it's done

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2021

I re-read books 1 and 2 before beginning The Rowan's Destiny and I do recommend it for readers like me, who read them closer to their release. This series has such detailed world building and connections between the characters, places, and events that it's both amazing and sometimes you need a refresher. For this final book, we get to see Arden finally fulfill her destiny with the support of her family (found and blood) by her side. There are a lot of moving pieces, strategies, and fights between the start of the book til the end, because the final showdown with the various enemies was never going to be simple. New allies pop up (one in particular made me smile a lot) and enemies are finally revealed. No worries though, even with all the challenges and battle prep, we get lots of emotional and steamy moments between Arden and her guys.

Arden continued to be as strong, compassionate, vulnerable, and warrior-like as ever. She's just a great FMC in my opinion. The remaining cadre members solidify their feelings and connections with her, bonding the group further. The multi-POV continued to help with insight into each guy, which is necessary at times to get the complete story. Fallon is still not my favorite of the guys, but someone has to be at the bottom of that list I guess, and Theron is probably at the top for me. But this group together has purpose, power, and I felt the love when reading the characters.

There were times when I felt the pacing of the story lost a bit of momentum since, like I said above, there's a lot of ground to cover. I never felt like there was filler though. Sometimes the strategies and fighting were a bit convoluted because of how much was happening too. I loved how so many of the conflicts were resolved and how true to character Arden stayed. The resolution of the witches and particularly the Prime issue for example.

Ms. Brie has said that Meri will be getting a book (not sure if it'll be a series or a standalone) so that's a relief since there's a lot still to unpack. There are some other threads of the plot that may be addressed in future books also that I'm curious about (one that was esp emotional) but can't say because major spoilers. Hopefully we'll get hints of what Arden and her guys are up to but I know they'll be happy together. Overall, this has been a great series with lots of pieces coming together to form a whole, intricate picture.

I really didn’t think I would like this series. I was utterly wrong! The only thing I needed was a little more suffering for the coven. Ms Stella is now an author I’ll be on the lookout for.

An end to this series, but always ready for more!!

A wonderfully finished yet bittersweet ending twist that encourages readers to hope for more from this storyverse!! Hopefully the upcoming standalone from this fictional world will share more answers and continue the family and adventure found in this book’s finale!! Ms Brie brings us a conclusion to most of the mysteries and romance from this series, with room to build and spin-off if she is so creatively inclined. I cannot express enough praise and admiration for the storytelling voice Ms Brie infuses in her work: there is escapist action and mystery and romance, but there is also extensive plot and character development that makes these books feel so emotionally full and satisfying on every level!! The time and effort expended to bring these stories to life are a gift to all readers, and we cannot wait for what Stella Brie shares with us next!!

4.7 for me

I had to reread the first two books to catch up on this one’s current happenings but I was so excited to realize what this was for me. A lot of times I had to remind myself who the guys were but Arden is amazing.

Few things kept this from being perfect. Arden is so smart and the cadre always came out better, but I thoroughly disliked them overseeing something so blatantly obvious, and it created drama I wasn’t into because of it. The other times they were oblivious became a little more obvious because of it but it wasn’t so bad, and I was thankfully surprised for it.

I enjoyed this series and I love the characters. It was epic.

This author created a vast and incredible cast of characters to inhabit an incredibly rich and detailed world.

The storyline is addictive and so entertaining. I loved the characters and am eagerly awaiting the spin-off this summer.
