Thank you Nisha J Tuli and her Publishing team for allowing to read this ARC.

Sometimes in a series you have to build up to the massive battle that’s going to take place in the final book. And that is what this book is doing. I love that Z is discovering more about her powers, Rabin is the perfect “I will burn down the world for you” guy and Yas is the best friend that everyone wishes they had. Nisha knows how to write books with tension and romance while still producing an action filled plot. Storm of Ink and Blood is such a fine balance of all the things. I look forward to the next book!

Storm of Ink and Blood - Nisha J Tuli.

This is the 3rd book in @nishajtwrites Nightfire Quartet series and I have been (not so patiently) waiting for this since the moment I finished book 2.

Life is looking a bit different for Zarya and Yaseen. They're in a new city fighting with a rebel organisation to free a race of people who have been magically enslaved and Zarya might just be the key to freeing them but that all depends on whether or not she can handle being in the same room as Rabin (we all know how the last booked ended). Anyway, I loved it, of course. It was fast paced, there were some great new characters. The story kept me fully engaged and I can't wait to see where the next book goes.

Zarya and Yasen are off in her family's kingdom and have managed to get involved with a group of rebels. She learns more ways that her powers can be of use. Rabiv goes on a very necessary apology tour, and they figure out more about their relationship. The drama hits near the end, and things are set up further for the final installment, which will involve both sides of her family and her role in the prophecy.

This series has gotten increasingly better with each installment. Book 3 adds a Rabiv POV. I'm always a fan of a dual POV; characters can not know what other's motives are, but I certainly like to. I think this was a good call after the ending of book 2 made Zarya feel like he had betrayed her. We needed proof that he was on the up and up. I'll be waiting for book 4!

Thanks to Nisha, Second Sky, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

Ugh, I just knew Rabin was going to have to grovel to get back on Zarya’s good side & I ate it up!! I loved watching Zarya find herself & become stronger. Do not get me started on Yasen, I love him pls protect him at all costs! The plot moved at a great pace & had me constantly itching to read more. I love this series with my whole heart! 🫶🏻

Zarya is a different kind of force in this book. She has new motivations and are given so many answers. It was very fast-paced and I read it in one sitting! The book's world continues to widen and become more and more beautiful with each word written. Finally seeing Zarya come into her magic and learn how to wield it was so much fun. I loved reading the bickering, the spice, and the groveling throughout the entire book. The ending felt a little rushed, but I can't wait for the next one!

I am a huge fan of Nisha’s books and was so excited to be chosen again for an early copy. The world building is so well done. As I say every time, I can almost taste the food from her descriptions. I love that the characters are complex and flawed and realistic, not perfect. The spice is spicy and this book did not disappoint at all. I’m so excited to continue this series when the next book is ready!

I have just finished reading Storm of Ink and Blood and omg the story that is unfolding! Has the dates mates kind of feel, and body tingling love declarations!!! Rabin is up there in top book boyfriend and I don’t want to settle for someone less! As a woman in my mid 30s I did find a lot of the dialogue is definitely more YA type genre, but still I can’t wait for book 4!!

I am really enjoying this series. I felt like this book was so different from the others as almost the entirety of it took place in a new city. I did enjoy it and seeing how Zarya would handle everything, but also felt like this book was just a tool to move the plot forward. Not my favorite of the series but thrilled for the final book coming next.

This series continues to be really fun!
This is a fairly fast paced book and a LOT happens, not just in terms of the plot but in Zarya and Rabin's relationship as well. My favorite bits were the action scenes, the vanshaj story line, and the bits where Zarya found out more about her family.

I can't say I'm particularly invested in the romance, because Rabin doesn't have much personality. And his marriage proposal seems ill advised given what Abishek told him about the magic bond thing.
The thing I'm most looking forward to in book 4 is Zarya meeting Abishek!

First, I am so grateful to have gotten this e-ARC! Thank you!

Nisha's writing is vivid and immersive, painting clear pictures that transports you straight into the heart of and mind of her characters. Storm of Ink and Blood may be my favorite book of the series, neck and neck with Dance of stars and Ashes.

I absolutely loved where book 2 left us with Zarya and Yasen ready to take on the world together. We immediately dove right back into the adventure with the two of them fully immersed in a new land, adding a great new band of characters. This book definitely felt more more fast paced than the previous two. I loved that this story takes us deeper and deeper into the politics of their world and the beauty of the Indian mythology.

I loved that we go to see a completely different side of Rabin. He is so sweet and getting to see his place of peace and him behind the curtain really made him such a great, dynamic character that I love. Zarya's stubbornness mixed with her need to give in was a little frustrating but also very fitting for real emotions and things I would have done when I was 20. Getting to see their relationship shift and grow was so great. The spice in this book delivers. That is where I will leave us with these two.

Without adding a spoiler, one thing I found frustrating was that there was so much planning but yet Zarya can't seem to execute the plan and just lands herself stuck in bad situations. Not sure I would follow this girl into war myself. 😅

The cliffhanger ended us in the perfect place. I am so excited to finish off this series. I am sure book 4 will be a fantastic, epic conclusion for this great series.

Personally not for me. I tried to get into it and even gave it two different tries in case it was a mood thing, but I was not able to get past the first 15%. I know a lot of other readers will love this book though.

Nisha J. Tuli's Storm of Ink and Blood is a stunning conclusion to The Nightfire Quartet, masterfully blending romance and fantasy in a way that leaves readers breathless. From the very first page, Tuli immerses us in a world rich with magic, danger, and unforgettable characters. The stakes are higher than ever as our protagonists face their greatest challenges, and the emotional depth of their journey is beautifully portrayed.

The romance in this final installment is particularly compelling, exploring themes of trust, sacrifice, and the power of love against all odds. Tuli’s writing is both lyrical and evocative, capturing the intensity of every moment. The chemistry between the characters sizzles.

Tuli has crafted a conclusion that feels truly satisfying and ties up loose ends while leaving a lasting impact.

Storm of Ink and Blood is a triumphant finale that will resonate with fans of romantic fantasy. Tuli has solidified her place as a formidable voice in the genre, and I can't wait to see what she creates next. A must-read!

Wow this book isn’t at all what I expected. It’s a whole new turn from the first two books with a new city, a new band of friends and a new conflict. We heard the profit from Zaryas mom in book 2, and now it’s Zaryas chance to fight to prove herself. There’s a big question throughout the book about who to trust, and we don’t know how itll play out until the very end. I was glad to see Rows character arc redeemed, that Yasen continued to stand by her side, and even though the spice is cringy and not my fav, I did appreciate the romantic interludes in the middle of all the action. Of course there’s a cliffhanger so if you thought book 3 was the end- think again! ✨ My favorite of the series is still the first, but I’ll keep reading to find out what happens next!

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I have been provided with a review copy of this title from NetGalley for an impartial review. I just loved getting to enter this world. I just loved getting to meet these characters and see what they are currently getting themselves into. This book was just a really fun read. I just lost myself in this great story and I didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Nisha does it again!! First thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me have the opportunity of reading the Third book of The Nightfire Quartet.

I could not put this book down and honestly if I didn’t have kids I would have read this is a day! The growth of Zarya and her found family is amazing. I have never root for a happy ending as hard as I am for Zarya and Rabin. Compared to the other two books, I felt as though there wasn’t much going on with also a lot going on - the pieces were all being mapped out and placed to set yup yet another amazing NJT cliff hanger. The Queen of cliffhangers I tell you!

I cannot wait for Book 4, and I will now in a book slump waiting for that and the final of her other series (if you know you)

The third instalment in the Nightfire 🔥Quartet Series is full of magic ✨ light and dark. The world 🌍 and plot is expanded perfectly giving readers everything they could need from a dark romantasy ❤️ series. I absolutely loved the new setting, which is vivid and inspired by Indian lore.
There’s an ancient struggle for freedom and societal injustice. Our FMC (Zarya) joins a band of rebels and takes part in their deadly raids. Creating one of the best found families out there. If you want banter and wit, look here.
The sheer character growth of Zarya from this once sheltered creature to a badass magical freedom fighter is amazing.
I also cannot not mention the romance ❤️‍🔥, it’s intense, intertwined, complicated and at times spicy 🌶️. I don’t want to say too much due to spoilers but the MMC is definitely up there in my top ten.
Although, readers beware, there’s a cliffhanger at the end! I absolutely cannot wait for the next book. I know there is so much more to come.
Read this series if you like high stakes action, romantasy, good banter, unique magic and found family. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC. This is a voluntary review of my own thoughts.

I loved this 3rd installment so much! The series seems to get better as we go. The FMC is a bad 🍎 who bounces back after hardships and we’re here for that. Oh and the angst is worth the wait 😏

I loved this action packed installment of the Nightfire Quartet. Zarya is as fierce and impulsive as ever, and I love her for it. She's been hurt, but it doesn't stop her from putting herself back out there and forging ahead in what she believes in. A strong fight against injustice and definitely a lot of development on the romance, this was a great read.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review. All opinions are my own.
Storm of Ink and Blood is the third book in the Nightfire Quartet, following up soon after the end of the prior book. Once again, it’s an epic mix of romance, fantasy, and even a bit of intrigue.
Zarya remains a great protagonist, and I love her growth this time around as she faces more and more challenges, including most prominently, reckoning with the fallout of Rabin’s betrayal.
And speaking of which, I didn’t know how I’d feel about Rabin, given what had happened in the last book, but he quickly won me over again, and he really works to regain Zarya’s trust again, so there’s just as much swoony romance this time around as the last one.
The supporting cast also remains interesting, including some great new characters, and I like what each brings to the table.
Pacing wise, it’s fairly even, and there’s enough going on in the plot that I was engaged throughout. And given my previous couple reads were pretty dull, I liked that this was mostly action-packed fun and steamy romance, so I have few complaints.
This was a solid third installment, and I can’t wait to see how the series comes to a close in the last book! I’d recommend the series thus far to readers looking for more “diverse” romantasy.

This series is so good. I love it more with each book. The characters are amazing and I absolutely love the relationships. The character growth is wonderful to watch. Our heroine finally gives in to her heart in this book 🖤 i was so glad to see Yasen get a little action in this book as well 🔥. This book is found to be much more emotional and found myself crying along with Zee. I can't wait to see where the next book leads!!!
