Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I have read the first three in the series, loved the perspective that Ms Boleyn brought to a classic plot, but this last one was a bit forcing. The series could be finished in three books. I hardly finished and forced myself.. I am so sorry for this comment but the story have ended for me already and there were almost no loose ties to follow. Technically the writing was simple yet eloquent and enjoyable. Thanks

Solid conclusion to a great series! But how things took a turn! I was not expecting the reveal at the end! I was also definitely intrigued by Medra and look forward to seeing more of her story.

“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.”

What an incredible ending to the series!!! Wow, just wow.

I have no words to describe how much I loved this book.. From the series, second was my favourite but now 4th tops it all , hands down. I will be honest, I was not expecting it to be a bomb because third book was kind of disappointment for me. But I'm amazed by the whole book and what an ending to the blood of fae saga.

Earlier I have liked and disliked both Morgan and Draven , Draven less so than Morgan because she was so immature before but I kind of loved them both in this book. With no stupid mistakes which is generally how it goes in most books, Morgan and Draven both grew up.

Love, the one force in the universe that no one could ever fully explain. Love, the candle in the dark that led us through the night and softened all our sorrows. Without love, life was a starved and empty thing, for there was no hope, no joy without it.
With love, there was strength. Love held us up and kept us from falling. When we found it, we clung to it and we never let go.
Love made us strive to be better than we were. Love lifted us. Love carried us. Love made our flaws forgettable.
Love was our saving grace. Love was the greatest adventure.

Their characters had no flaw, well except one when they got too cheesy sometimes that it even made me feel nauseous but we'll they are "mates". I personally feel that this "can't keep my hands of you" trope can be toned down a little because well, sex isn't something that is always on mind of normal human beings. But on the other hand, Draven and Morgan ain't really human beings so what a mortal like me know?

This book had everything, the burn, the love, the wanting, the banter, the adrenaline rush it gave me while reading. OMG seriously. and the reveals in the end, will I be too far fetched If I say that I had figured out in book 1 itself? About Morgan of course not about Draven, that was a total shocker. And of Morgan's father as well . That was a surprise too.

Now that I have read the book, I'm already missing the series and want to start it all over again.

Some quotes I loved from the book

Families aren’t meant to be perfect, Morgan. Anyone who ever claims to have a perfect family is lying.

We see what we want to see, when it comes to the ones we love. Sometimes it’s only too easy to blind ourselves.
----------------
Love was more than sharing pleasure. It was taking on another’s pain.
----------------
Did you know that I will love you forever? That I would die for you? I will love you for a hundred thousand years. And then a hundred thousand more after that.”
Nothing would take away what I had found. Nothing would take away the man who stood before me.

----------------
Love, real love, was standing by his side even when I didn’t think I deserved to be there. Real love meant sticking around even when all of the sorrows and horrors made me want to run the other way.

----------------
We had lost people we loved.
But there was still this. A kiss worth all of the pain and all of the heartache.
----------------
You cannot keep one who wishes to be free. No matter how much you may wish to.
----------------
If one couldn’t make a choice on who to love in such a long life, what was the point of it all?
----------------
If only you had learned at one point in your miserable, overly long lives where true power lies. Not in taking. But in letting go.
----------------
My destiny lay not with the woman who sought to claim me as her own, but with the one who had always held my heart in her hands.
----------------


Thank you Netgalley and starwater press for the amazing ARC in exchange of an honest review.

"Nightclaw watched her the way I sometimes sensed Draven watching me— as if he couldn’t take his eyes off her. As if she were the most beautiful thing in the world to him."

I absolutely loved this book and the way that it made my heart race, gave me physical chills, made me cry, and even audibly gasped at times. One moment, I was thinking about how absolutely BADASS Morgan has become, and the next I was screaming, NO NO NO WTF in my head.

The first chapter had my brain going wild with questions. Is this a true or regular dream? Is Kaye going to turn into one of the children? Is Morgan going to sacrifice herself!? I was constantly trying to predict what would happen next, and I was always surprised.

Oh, Draven. My favorite character throughout the series, but my love for him was solidified with this book. The instant bond between him and Medra and the visual of him wearing a baby carrier holding baby Medra had me in awe. The way he teased Hawl for making Sunstrike freaking patê to help heal her injured wing. The way he respected Morgan and would lay down his life for her.

The spice! Fueled by fear and uncertainty with the future, Draven and Morgan were not taking their time with each other for granted.

This book was a roller coaster of emotions. I was not even a quarter of the way through the book when my heart started racing and characters started dying. The tears! The connection I felt towards some of these characters was so strong that I felt myself grieving alongside Draven and Morgan. During Chapter 12, one of the scenes gave me physical chills and goosebumps, but they didn't stop there.

Although I am so sad that the series is complete, it ended perfectly.

Thank you, Briar Boleyn, NetGalley, and Starwater Press for the ARC of Knight of the Goddess in exchange for an honest review.

Another Arthurian mythology/folklore inspired Romantasy tale that is sure to find it's loyal fanbase out there in the world. I will say, the tension built in this series is especially excellent!

I would like to thank NetGalley and author Briar Boleyn for this amazing serie and adventure. It was a great pleasure.

Where to start?
First of all, this is has been an amazing journey, and what an end. Before you start, just for you to know, no character here is safe. Author knows how to make you cry.
Secondly, I would like to talk about the growth Morgan did throughout all four books in the series. She start from the scared character that doesn’t know who she is, to a very powerful one.
As all the women in this book!
Draven. Oh Draven. I really really didn’t like him in the second book, and started to change my mind in book three. And totally in love in book four.

Negative note, this book was at some point confusing to read. Otherwise, it would have been a full 4.5 stars.


And… yes! This book has the spice.

This was a very nice conclusion to the series. It wrapped up most of the storylines and there was even a nice twist towards the end. I would really love another series or book about the main characters to follow up on them.

Helo! Now what do I do with my life? The cholehold this series had me is ridiculous honestly. I even got my sister obsessed. It took me awhile to get around to this one because I didn't want to end my journey.

Now that I have. Why do we have stupid emotions? Because the heartbreak of this book? UGGGGHHHHH. Just a beautiful series and I'm so much happier having read it.

This is the fourth and final book in the series and it was a good read but I think that it could have been wrapped up and made into a trilogy. Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I would read the entire series again.

Was this review helpful?

This series was not for me. Nothing against the author or anything. Some series just don’t grab my attention. I would probably try it again another time

Was this review helpful?

This was such a great conclusion to the series, it was heartbreaking to lose some of my favorite characters and I wish that Medra had more of a story, her development felt rushed and I don’t think we were able to fully appreciate the sacrifice she made.
I cried when nightclaw died 😭 I held out some delusion that he survived and when we met nightpaw I cried again.

Thank you NetGalley and Briar 💕 can’t wait to see what books you put out next!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Author for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review of the fourth and final book in this Blood of a Fae series

This high fantasy romance retelling of Camelot, Morgan Le Fay (not as a witch, but fae), King Arthur, Merlin, and the infamous mythical Sword, the Spear, and the Grail.
A continuation and final book in this story following Morgan and her mate Draven have the hardest battle yet and it takes the lives of many they love and respect left in its wake. This rendition is so much more than the tales I've read over the years or depicted in television or movies. The characters are more complex, and their paths intertwine with them to help them achieve their goals and protect their lands, people, and families. I was swept away by their love story, the path that led them back to each other, and the mission they were destined to complete. This book took me the longest to read because it was the last and I knew it would be over once I was done. I thoroughly enjoyed this rendition and loved the addition of fae. It made sense to include them since magic was part of the story so why not have more magical creatures?

For those who love Arthurian tales and spice (because it's filled with spice), this series should be on top of your TBR.

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley for this ARC copy in exchange for my review.

2.5 stars but rounded up for the consistent tone and writing quality.

I really wanted to like this since it was the fourth book in the series but I really think it would have benefitted a lot more by being a trilogy. I sort of lost interest in the plot which is a lot of politics in the first third of the book and I found it boring. The part with the exmoors would have been good if it had come in the third book maybe, or just a lot sooner. I feel like this whole plot was sort of shoehorned in at the end and became a bit messy and rushed. I also still don’t like Draven, he’s just got no redeeming qualities and he’s kind of dull, sorry!

No spoilers but there have been way too many deaths in the whole series to make any of them sad anymore too.

I almost DNFed many times but pushed on because I did like the first three books, but unfortunately this one just wasn’t for me. I just wish it was condensed into a trilogy and had less plotlines going on.

HOWEVER. The voice is consistent and well written throughout, and if you like lots of intense spice and a serious amount of twists and story/character plots then you’ll probably like this a lot!

An exhilarating conclusion to this unique Arthurian (but make it Fae) retelling. While loss was bound to happen in the final installment of the FMC's story, the characters lost were like tears in my heart. The last leg of adventure was so enthralling that there were many points that it was easy to lose track of time spent in the pages of the story. The action, the heartbreak, and the growth was phenomenal..... and the spice too! The character development and growth was incredible. So sad to see the story for the majority of these characters end, but so looking forward to Medra's own story! Easily one of the best fantasy novels I've read and has shot to my all time favorites list!

Thank you to Net Galley and Starwater Press for the opportunity to read an E-ARC of Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn in exchange for my honest review.

The heartache this book dealt me, blow after blow! I was not prepared!

So beautifully written as always throughout the series. The friendship developments and character growth was elite.

The romance in this series, fated mates & bonds with mystical creatures was so Incredible, it had me hooked like and sinker.

The gender neutral Bearkin (mystical warrior bear who talks & is a chef) was one of my favourite characters, they were such a fun, creative and modern addition to the storyline.

The huge twists this book delivered I did not see coming -

I do love a good ending where everything comes full circle and all makes sense.

This was the perfect way to end this series <3

This final installment is an enthralling and captivating tale that seamlessly weaves together elements of fantasy, romance, and adventure. Truly there is nothing more I could ask from a series like this.

The characters are well-developed and the world-building is rich and immersive. The protagonist's journey is both inspiring and thrilling, and the intricate plot kept me eagerly turning the pages. Additionally, the author's writing style is engaging, and their ability to create an enchanting atmosphere is truly remarkable. There is something about this book that reminds me of ACOTAR, and it truly might just be the vibes.

This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted fantasy story with a touch of romance. Overall, I highly recommend Knight of the Goddess for its intricate storytelling and compelling characters.

This final book was a nice ending to the series. The world building continued to be great. There was a ton of sacrifice in this book and a bittersweet ending. So many truths were revealed and it was overall a satisfying finale.

I never thought romantasy would be a genre I would enjoy so much, but I tried this series by Briar Boleyn and I loved it even more than ACOTAR! The FMC development is remarkable and a “shining” example of what a strong and feminine female can be. This series is currently my favorite recommendation to share with friends and acquaintances! It does have a couple of spicy scenes in each book, but I would say they are easily skippable if that isn’t your vibe. The books are smart and sassy, and skipping the spicy parts doesn’t detract from the story in any way.

Wow! This series just kept getting better! Highly recommend this series for fans of Fourth Wing and ACOTAR

Knight of the Goddess provides a satisfying conclusion to a great series from Briar Boleyn. In the final book of the series Morgan embraces her destiny and confronts her past to safeguard her future. This series was so good I didn't want it to be over! I genuinely cried during the last chapter it felt so bittersweet to be ending such an engaging series 😭

As always, be sure to check the trigger warnings before reading because it gets dark 🥀⚔️

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you to Briar Boleyn, Starwater Press, and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review 🤗
