This book was a solid 3 ⭐️!!

I really did enjoy this book (ate it up in one night if you can’t tell by my start to finish dates lol).
The plot was extremely interesting, the spice was a 3 🌶️/5, the side characters are very endearing, and I did enjoy the pace of the story! I also do enjoy the FMC (Zarya) though her naivety can be a bit frustrating (but then what can you expect from a girl locked away most of her life lol).

I really did enjoy the difference in scenery/location from the first two books too! I love seeing other cities/landscapes and I feel this book did a great job in describing the differences and bringing the new location to life alongside the new cast of characters.

Things I wasn’t a big fan of:

1. I still feel like we’re building and building up to this grand meeting between two characters over the last two books and I keep feeling this is dragging just a bit? I was hoping to have just one quick meeting or even a sighting from afar but I could also just be impatient.

2. I also wish some aspects were explained, or even hinted at more, as I feel if certain aspects are revealed and (then potentially fixed) all in the next book, it might seem rushed or ill paced. This is just something I wish had been explored a bit more or wondered at by Zarya a bit more.

Things I enjoyed:

1. Rabin

2. Rabin

3. Did I mention Rabin?

4. In all seriousness, I do love Rabin as a character and MMC. Does he have his flaws? Yes. Am I also slightly annoyed with his naivety? Yes. Do I like him any less? Absolutely not!

Overall, I enjoyed this book! It was a very quick read for me and was extremely entertaining!

4.75⭐️ rounded up!

Nisha has given us a whole new part of her world to explore and I am loving every minute of it. I wasn’t sure if I was invested in the first book with our first MMC because I wasn’t feeling the connection (which makes sense), but after book 2, and now this one? I am ✨INVESTED✨ and have been telling anyone that will listen to check this series out.

Zarya gets to learn more about her family in this book while she extends onto her found family to help with a revolution for the Vanshaj. I also love Rabin as an MMC, and am completely obsessed with where he takes Zarya so she can learn more about him. Plus the spicy scenes in this one?! Through the roof. I felt like this book was well paced and took me through all the emotions. There may be a couple loose ends to tie up in Dharati, but I’m so excited to see how Nisha wraps this up with book 4!

This author will on my purchase list - because her books are that good! This is no exception of course! Rabin ugh what a MAN!!! If you are looking for a brooding man, with a secret heart of gold this series is for you!! Zarya really has grown since the first book is the only “spoiler” I will give. This book is book 3, the first two being - Heart of Night and Fire and the second being Dance of Stars and Ashes. I love all the new characters that were introduced! They were so loveable and so strong, every part of this book makes you feel the resilience of the characters. This book comes out tomorrow! (10/04/2024!!) I loved this book and I know that my recommendations are never wrong and you all will love this book too!

Storm of Ink and Blood is the third book in this thrilling Nightfire Quartet series. Nisha has outdone herself as each book in this series is released. I can't rave enough about this unique and intriguing book. The stunning rich detail of this beautiful world, the suspense and the ongoing push-pull of Zarya and Rabin’s relationship, has the reader mesmerized and wanting more. I seriously can't wait to read the final book! I'm obsessed!

I am always floored while reading Nisha J Tuli’s books. Her Nightfire Quartet might be my favorite! I love everything about Zarya and her story! And boy did this book put us through it! And that ending!!! I can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you to netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advance copy to read and review.

I really loved the previous two books in this series, so I was eagerly awaiting book three.

I really enjoy the magic and world building that Nisha creates in her writing. It is so vivid and colourful.

It was great to be back with Zarya and watch her thrive as she comes into her magic and strives to be even more independent.

Great third installment.

Argh .. I wanted to love it , I really , really wanted to love this book .. unfortunately I think my journey in this world came to an end with it .. in this case it’s really a me-problem ..

it’s not a bad book , it’s beautiful, colorful with nice world building.. but the plot didn’t grab my interest and because it’s a major part of the beginning, I ended up disengaging from the entire story , even the romance wasn’t strong enough to keep me interested..

I rounded up to 3 stars because I still think it deserves it , and could find its readers.

A great continuation to the series!
The world building of this series is so great: from the tree/queen to the magic and the bonding aspect.. and I loved the author’s humor in the first pages, it got me cackling!!!

Zarya is much more independent in this book, working towards a goal and she had much growth in this book. Rabin too is coming to terms with his feelings and emotions, their relationship coming out stronger.

I loved how Zarya learned a lot more about her magic and how to use it instead of being afraid of it.
I really can’t wait for the final book to come out!!

Thank You Second Sky and NetGalley for this ARC!!!

This is book three of the Nightfire Quartet. It’s a steamy fast-paced, slow burn fantasy romance. Amazing world building that is detailed and imaginable. Fascinating characters that are well developed and diverse. Twists and unexpected turns keep you reading. The storyline is fast-paced and very well written, filled with magic, danger, death, politics, intrigue, and subterfuge. The plot thickens, the suspense builds, and the passion erupts! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story.

I have loved every book in this series, and Storm of Ink and Blood is no exception. I believe each book in the series is better than the previous one. There’s so much growth in Zarya from the first book to the end of Storm of Ink and Blood. I loved watching her come into her own and decide what role she would play to establish the future she hopes to see. That is the central part of this book’s conflict and I really appreciated how Tuli approached it. It was intense, inspiring, at times gut wrenching and heart breaking, but such a worthy cause to stand up and fight for. We also get to visit a new setting in Storm of Ink and Blood giving us new world building from Tuli. Tuli’s world building is lush, descriptive, and everything you could want to envision yourself walking the streets alongside the characters. The relationships are a central part of this story and I love seeing them continue to evolve. While I love the dynamic between Zarya and Rabin, I stand by the best relationship is the friendship that evolved between Zarya and Yasen. The way they support each other is so special. I did enjoy how Tuli made Rabin work for Zarya’s affection after the events of book two. I combo read this between the ebook and audiobook. I loved them both and think readers will be happy either way. For the narration, I love how Shiromi Arserio transported readers to the world Tuli established. Arserio added so much energy and emotion to the narration making it such an enjoyable experience. Overall, this book is special and a must read series.

This book may have been the best so far out of the series. It provided even more necessary world building and character development. I absolutely adore Zarya and her journey. Nishas writing is so beautiful and creates this gorgeous fantasy world that I wish I could be apart of.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The third instalment of this series didn't pull any punches. We had plenty of action, a little subterfuge and some pretty hairy moments for FMC Zarya - but of course it all came through in the end. Without any spoilers: lots of questions are answered, but as we're not in the final stretch yet there's still plenty left to find out in the next book. Oh, and there's plenty of spice for those who love it, a pay out after some slow burn pining. If you're not a huge fan, they're easy scenes to skim over!

I was so lucky to be chosen to receive an ARC through #NetGalley. #StormofInkandBlood is my favorite book of the series so far! It has everything a romantasy book needs, romance, betrayal, suspense, amazing side characters and SPICE. I cannot wait to see what is in store for Zarya and Rabin next!!!

Storm of Ink and Blood is the third book in the Nightfire Quartet. It follows Zarya as she learns more about herself, her magic and the prophecy her mother left with her.

This was a brilliant instalment. The world building was beautifully done, and dives deeper into the law and history of the lands. The story writing is bright and vibrant, giving a real sense of the world. The back and fourth between Zarya and Rabin was really well done, and the spice was impeccable!

The plot was great and I really enjoyed the way it ebbed and flowed. Yasen was by far my favourite, and has been throughout. His and Zarya's friendship is really well done, showing soft and vulnerable moments, and their fierceness for each other's well being.

Overall this book was amazing and I highly recommend it!

Solid sequel - Can't wait for the last book
3.5 stars
There were some predictable turns but it was still pretty good

I would quite literally read anything Tuli writes!

This may be my favorite book read so far this year!

Storm of Ink and Blood is fast paced with amazing character development and romance that has me my the throat, I'm just OBSESSED.

This is the most unique fantasy, I just can't get enough!!!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Storm of Ink and Blood in exchange for my honest review.

Nisha Tuli is one of my auto-buy authors and she delivered yet another great one with this third installment in the Nightfire Quartet.

I will say I was slightly disappointed to be leaving behind the worlds and many of the characters from books one and two but the intrigue and world building in book 3 was great. It was also great to see more of Rabin and Zarya’s story and relationship here. I’m excited to see how the story concludes in book 4!

I have been waiting patiently for this book since I read the second one and omg, it was so worth the wait.

I could both put this down, it's so exciting and really keeps you hooked until the very end.

I loved the different POVs and feel like this added an extra something special to this book.

I'm devastated that it's over and wish I could read it for the first time all over again!

Huge thanks to Second Sky and NetGalley for providing me with this arc.

OUTSTANDING!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Rising Phoenix rebellion has risen in the third book of the Nightfire Quartet series and is truly phenomenal and my favourite book of the series. The SPICE was SIZZLING HOT!!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🌶️🌶️
I highly recommend for all readers of fantasy, immersive epic world building and enemies-to-lovers romance books.

"She will be the one to free them all"
"I'm your paramadhar and you are my masatara"
"Because you and I are destined"

Thank you to the author Nisha J. Tuli, publisher Second Sky and NetGalley for sending me the eARC book to read and I am delighted to provide my thoughts and unbiased review. Make yourself a delicious cup of chai because you will not be able to put this book down.
The story continues with Zarya, the main female protagonist joining the Rising Phoenix rebellion in Ishaan to free the enslaved Vanshaj people after seeing the vision and prophecy in her mother's necklace. I really liked the unique dark magic system, immersive, descriptive, vivid world building, fast pace and compelling storyline/plot of the rebellion, enduring love and intense chemistry scenes between Zarya and Rabin and Rabin wanting forgiveness to win Zarya's heart again, the addition of Rabin's POV in this book, including the scenes of Rabin shapeshifting into a dragon.

This book has a perfect balance of an engaging, compelling story, passion, spice, fantastic character development and has everything I want from a fantasy romance. The author has a beautiful way of writing descriptive, metaphorical, immersive, vivid worlds/realms inspired by Indian and South Asian mythology and culture. Thiss book has:

✨ Rebellion Action & Adventure
✨ Dark Magic
✨ Dragon Shifter
✨ Found Family
✨ Spicy enemies-to-lovers
✨Touch her and die

I was obsessed with this third book in the Nightfire Quartet series and was completely hooked by the story/plot from the beginning and could not put this book down. I'm so excited for the fourth book and can't wait to continue with Zarya's story.
Beautiful, ruthless, exciting addictive story!!

I loved this book. As soon as I turned the page and discovered this book has chapters in Rabin’s POV I squealed! There is nothing I love more then getting to see the story from all sides.
