Storm of Ink and Blood was such a treat of a fantasy book! I was whisked away on a wonderful adventure filled with danger, secrets and magic. This book and in fact the entire series has kept me equally invested and captivated. That has a lot to do with a rich and descriptive story but also the characters.

The author has created an array of different and intriguing characters. Which in turn really brings them to life for the reader. I was rooting for Zarya throughout. She has such a strong and determined personality but also finds herself in such a tricky situation. There is a gorgeous romance within the story and I loved the combination of sweet and spicy moments. Although I have to say some of the my favourite parts in this book were between Zarya and Yasen. I love those two together, their friendship is perfect!

Storm of Ink and Blood was action packed at times but also has characters that you really care about. The world building is spot on and I felt like I could really visualise it as I read. The found family trope is also done so well in this series. All that’s left to say is that I can’t wait to read more, bring on the next book!

I really enjoyed this next book in the series.

I wish some of it happened a little faster but overall it was solid.

The spice,the romance, the action, and that cliffhanger. While the cliffhanger wasn't huge I'm a little scared of what my fav couple will face in the next book.

I love this series!
4.4 🌟 3.5 🌶

The way we got more in-depth character development and communication.
The description of the food makes me hungry ever time it comes up.
Rabin... that man is EVERYTHING! He is big, strong, dominating and also a soft teddy bear. Melt, swoon, I NEED MORE!
Zarya... Can we say BADA** Queen!! I need her to realize more often that she can do the things and to do them.
Yasen... OH OUR AMAZING YASEN! His loyalty, his devotion, his friendship😍🫶🫂😭 He is the ultimate friend and all friendships should be compared to him.. PERIOD!

I've been looking forward to diving back into Zarya's world and this certainly didn't disappoint. We pick up a little way after the last book left off, following Zarya and Yas on their adventures and discovering a new city and new characters along the way. The book has enough action to keep the plot moving forward and make the story interesting whilst still allowing time to explore Zarya's powers and the way she left things with Rabin after discovering the truth. There's not too much to say without giving away spoilers so I'll say this was a great third instalment in the series and really brought some interesting plot points whilst moving the story along. I can't wait to see what comes next!

I received a free copy of this book. All views are my own,

I will never get enough of this series! Even though this book was definitely more of a filler, it was still filled with no stop action and drama. I am loving all of the character development we are getting with these character.

Zarya has become such a strong character throughout this series. She went from someone who lived in a literal swamp without real access to the outside world to trying to save the damn world. She has her sights set on making things right, but not in a way that is out of the realm of possibility. She truly cares about others and just wants to do what is right. I also love her journey of forgiveness as it too shows her growth and maturity. First it was forgiving Row, and now she was able to forgive Rabin. It will be interesting to see how she responds to her father.

Rabin went through his own journey as well. He got his head on right though as he now will put Zarya's wellness before even his own. He understands that his role in life is beside hers, and not once did he show that he was displeased by this. We love a confident and sell-assured king (consort).

The found family trope still goes strong with this book. Now we have added Zarya's brother to the mix. His allegiance surprised me the most, but I love it. Him and Yasen together are so cute and I need them to have their happily ever after along with everyone else.

This book did not leave off on a cliffhanger like I was expecting it to. Yes, we are now going into uncharted territory with going to Zarya's father to stay low, the same man who has already shown his disapproval of her and Rabin's relationship. It should be very interesting to witness. I really cannot wait for the next book in this series and I am not ready for it to end!

As usual, the spice was spicing, but it was so much deeper than that. Zarya and Rabin have my whole heart!

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Holy this was another great book in the Nightfire Quartet. Full of plot and lore and culture. I have so enjoyed learning new to me terms. Nisha is killing it. Can’t wait to read book 4! Thank you so much for this ARC opportunity.

This was so good! I loved seeing Zarya and Rabin finally communicating well and getting to see their relationship progress. I do love them together so much, but Rabin's actions (while understandable in theory) were giving angry toddler throwing a tantrum at the end when he didn't know where Zarya was. It was really fun to watch Zarya come to learn her powers more and become more confident in herself and her abilities. Zarya and Yasen's friendship is so elite, I'm obsessed with them and need even more of them in the next book. Also hoping we get to see more of Amrita again, as she was just chilling as a pregnant tree in this one and we didn't see much of her. There are a lot of characters in this series which made it a little confusing to remember who everyone is. BUT Nisha made it very easy to reference who characters are by including a glossary of names, terms, places, etc. at the beginning of the book for my poor forgetful brain as a refresher! Thanks Netgalley for the e-ARC!

'"Today we are bound, body and spirit, and I will do everything I can to be worthy of you." He gripped the back of her neck, staring into her eyes as he f**ked her, slow and deep.'

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nisha has absolutely knocked this out of the park yet again! This is my fave book of the series so far and I am itching to get my hands on the fourth book already.

There was never a dull moment. It was fast-paced, and the relationship between Zarya and Rabin has be in such a chokehold, and OMG, the SPICE!!! 🌶🌶🌶

If you are a fan of romantasy, this is a must read.

Thank you, Nisha and Second Sky, for the ARC.

This series is so good and I loved returning to this world! I loved seeing how the world expanded and we got to meet new characters! The romance has me very intrigued and I really enjoy all the characters even the ones I hate! I cannot wait to see how it concludes in the next book. Will be adding to our library 100%!

What a stunning return to a series that has grown incredibly close to my heart. Storm of Ink and Blood takes us straight back into the action, where we now see Zarya dealing with the events of book 2, especially Rabin's betrayal. This book is full of adventure and honestly, the pacing is pretty damn good; like once the action starts, it doesn't stop at all. Within the pages of this book we see Zarya fully embrace who she is and what her destiny might be and that journey was really incredible to experience. I loved that we get Rabin's POV and see him be obsessed with Zarya; seriously, he is so in love and so unabashedly honest and open about it, it is amazing to see.

One thing that I really liked was seeing how reluctant Zarya was to let Rabin in at first, and not relenting even though that's what her heart wants. The progression of their relationship in this book was full of emotions and alongside the plot, that was my favourite thing. And the spice, let me just say...it is spicy af. And I freaking love it.

Something that I am eager to see in the next book - what are Raja Abhishek's motives? As much as I want to like him, there is just something about him that is keeping me on edge and I have a feeling the next book will tell me why. All in all, this was such a great read and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!!

Loved it! And i absolutely love Rabin!!! Great sequal and can’t wait for the next book in this series

Storm of Ink and Blood is the third installment of the Nightfire Quartet, following Zarya on her journey from basically a captive in a small area growing up mostly alone with her adoptive father to the chosen one who will save them all. I want to thank Nasha J Tuli for the fun glossary introduction cast of characters review. It did great at getting the reader back up to speed with who all the important characters are and a little snippet of their part in our story.

Zarya is basically hiding from Rabin in the city of Ishaan with Yasen. They may have went there with the intention of Zarya introducing herself to her half siblings, the Prince and Princess, but after arriving in the city it was clear that Vanshaj are treated really poorly and Zarya end up supporting the revolution in the city aiming to free them. Yasen is of course eager to help Zarya in this new adventure and is having a great time in a new city away from the expectations of his family. But we, the reader, know that the magical bond Zarya and Rabin share is going to mean they will have to work out their issues soon.

Zarya needs to learn more about her secret six anchor if she is ever going to be able to help the Vanshaj. The thing is she has a lack of control on her own. This could be due to focus as she is still fixated on Rabin or just on the time she has had with learning how to use her powers. Rabin has spent his time wisely though after returning to Andhera and Zarya’s fathers court. He is learning more about the bond and how to control the dreamscape they can enter together. I was the most interested in this part of the story since Zarya’s father is a bit of the unknown and Rabin seems to trust him but the prophecy Zarya is in the middle of seems to indicate he will kill her and steal her magic. There are some pretty big hints in this that Raja (Zarya’s father), isn’t really a good person and probably has done some pretty horrendous things but we will see how that all plays out in the next book I have some theories though from the hints dropped.

The romance and communication between Zarya and Rabin was at the forefront of the story and got a lot of time. My issue with the last book revolved around a miscommunication and Zayra’s overinflated (in my opinion) reaction to it. But that said, I was happy to see how their relationship progressed in Storm of Ink and Blood. Zarya is growing to trust herself more and more and because of that, she will give Rabin the benefit of the doubt. Rabin also does a great job of just expressing how he is feeling and never leaves Zarya in any doubt of his intension or wants. I liked that he was so honest with her.

“I love you. The more I’m with you, the more I love you. I want a name for us. I want to be the world to one another, and I want everyone to know it.”

We didn’t get a lot of time with the darkness that has been leaking into the realm and the demons that come from it. I do hope in the next book of the series this is explored more and we get some answers on that. I also would have loved to see Amrita, but she is busy being a tree and we get a small cameo of Vikram being grumpy and controlling. Hopefully that arc will sus out a bit more in the next book.

I am looking forward to seeing the wrap of of the series in the final book. I have a few theories about Rabin’s tattoo of a dragon, the bond between him and Zarya, Amrita and her tree transformation and the world in general. There are a lot of things to get some closure on and so it should be a wild ride to get to the end. Just happy that Rabin, Yasen and Zarya seem to be going into it all together.

4/5 ⭐️

The third installment of the Nightfire Quartet is fast paced, full of political intrigue and with a dash of dark magic.

I'm a huge fan of the world and magic system Nisha has created in this series. It was exciting to explore another part of that world as Zarya and Yasen travel to Gi’ana and join a rebel alliance.

One of my favorite parts of Zarya's journey in this book was seeing her discover and explore her magic.

My least favorite thing about Zarya is her inability to really think things through … When she first attempted to free the prisoners I couldn’t believe she just jumped up on the platform to free them one by one. Honestly was yelling at my book. She really needs to learn the art of thinking on the go.

I am a biiig Rabin fan and enjoyed the romance and spice of this book. Watching their relationship develop and how that will play out in the final book has me excited. Also …. The vine scene?? Hello. IYKYK👀

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the eArc of this book.

This is the third installment of the Nightfire Quartet. I am really enjoying the series and cannot wait to see how it concludes in book 4. I enjoyed that this book really expanded on the world. Zarya, our FMC, has finally left Daragaab. We got to see glimpses of a few other countries and meet new people. And it seems like Zarya has finally found what she is fighting for! As with the prior two novels, I enjoyed the quick pace and the writing style from Nisha Tuli (who has become an auto-buy author). I love the sass and humor that she uses.

I enjoyed the cast of characters, though I wished that we got to know some of the new characters a bit more. Zarya is a great FMC. She did annoy me in this book more than the others (lots of acting without thinking) but I think her sheltered background can explain some of that immaturity/naivety. Rabin is a great MMC as well. We got some Rabin POV here and I hope for more in the next book. And the shining star of this book is Yasen. He is the perfect best friend, and I loved his relationship with Zarya.

I both read the ebook version and listened to the audiobook. I really enjoyed the narration by Shiromi Arserio.

Thank you to NetGalley and Second Sky for providing an eARC of this book.

Well this book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The queen has slayed it once again this was everything I expected and then some!

NISHA NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! GUYS RABIN HAS MY HEART😭

The plot 10/10
The romance 10/10
The spice 10/10
Literally everything was perfection.
Nisha I need the next book like right now. The cliffhanger has destroyed me.

Absolutely loved it!!! Oh my gosh, this whole series absolutely owns me. So well written, with in-depth world building and an amazing cast of characters (obsessed with Yas!). Love the magic system and the caste system between royalty and the lower class citizens. Zarya is such a strong and bad ass female and she continues to grow in strength and wisdom as the series goes on. I didn’t know where Ashe would end up with Rabin after his lies in book 2, but gosh it worked out so well. The man is H O T and the spice was excellent. I’m excited to finally see Zarya meet her father cannot wait to see where book 4 takes us!

Omg! What have I just read? The third book in the Nightfire Quartet series, Storm of Ink and Blood, is so good! There was never any doubt I wanted to read this instalment after reading the others.

The series is a fantasy romance with spice added  to make this an unputdownable set of books. I am a fan of this author because of another series she has written, and the Nightfire Quartet just proves her place as a go-to author for me.

Storm of Ink and Blood is so packed with action from the start. We follow Zarya as she embarks on a journey to learn about the prophecy her mother left her. This all comes with learning more about her magic and, of course herself too. As I always tend to find with any fantasy novels that are worth their salt, the world building is second to none. The sense of place that the reader experiences brings with it a tale that the reader feels a part of. The vivid details, along with the multi layered characters, all lend to such an immersive and all-encompassing tale.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Zarya grow more confident and become the woman she was destined to become. The romance is still there, although not until further in the story. That os one thing that's worth waiting for! If you ask me anyway!!

I am so eager for the next book! If it's half as good as this, I will be a happy bunny, that's for sure!!
Thanks to Second Sky Books and NetGalley for the gifted ARC to join the book tour.

3.5 so I did like how this story continues to develop and there was an actual story in the third book, not just filler. I do have lots of unanswered questions and hopefully everything is tied up in the fourth book. I did like the relationships that were built in this book but also there is a lot of characters to keep track off. I would suggest reading these books one after another so you don’t feel lost. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC

First of all, I always love the covers of Nisha's books as they are so pretty and incredibly dramatic! A gorgeous edition to any book shelf!

I actually started this series at Book 3 and while I followed the story relatively easily, I would have definitely caught onto what was happening more quickly if I'd read Book 1 and 2 beforehand - something to consider!

In this book, we follow an outraged Zarya as she finds the key to freeing thousands of vanshaj... but as always, there's a catch...

I just love Nisha's way of writing as it's intriguing and pulls you in! This world feels very different to her previous series, but we still have our extremely strong female main characters, which I love.

Utterly addictive, spicy 🌶 and enthralling... another fantastic book from Nisha!
