I absolutely ate this book up. This is a satisfying conclusion to the series and I am gutted it’s finished! I enjoyed Robins growth of character as we see him start to trust and rely on those around him, this book is action packed and fast paced and I was hooked from page one.
The smut was well written…
Sad to see Robin go but I am looking forward to seeing what the author writes next!

I have to say, it completely caught me off guard. I don’t usually pick up romance novels, but this one had me hooked from the first chapter. The chemistry between the two main characters was electric—it wasn’t just about the physical attraction, but the way they challenged and supported each other. I found myself rooting for them, even when they were making mistakes or letting their insecurities get in the way.

What really stood out to me was how real the story felt. The dialogue was sharp and natural, and the emotional moments hit hard without feeling overly dramatic. I could see pieces of myself in the male lead, especially in how he struggled to open up and be vulnerable. It made me think about my own relationships in a way I didn’t expect.

The pacing was perfect, with just enough tension to keep me turning the pages. And while there were moments that felt predictable, the journey was so enjoyable that I didn’t mind. By the end, I was smiling like an idiot—it was that satisfying.

This book is the last book in the series and it was a great end to a series. The pacing was very fast and it made me want to keep reading the whole time.

An ending to a story I have been highly anticipating for over a year now and wow does it hit, unurprisingly it was a rollercoaster of twists and turns that sometimes took my breath away.

Robin has been on such a epic journey all leading to this moment looking into such power and distraction desperately trying to get to the peace promised. Playing the game of saving the innocent and also saving the ones he love is a thin line with everything to lose hanging in the balance.

Duncan my favourite in the series is also tested and put under so much that I was on tender hooks wanting him to be ok. Erix has to slow overcome all the changes he has gain over this series and accept himself which is so heartbreaking.

So many secrets and lies over this whole series slowing unfold, everything starts to snap into place as you see where all the story beats and clues have been there since the beginning.

The final book in the Realm of Fey series we find Robin Icethorn has been lying to and avoiding everyone he cares about while he keeps a dangerous secret. His consort, Duncan, body is now possessed by the demon god Duwar. He does eventually confide in his ex Erix and eventually to the two work together. All this while dealing with his old feelings for Erix and the upcoming marriage of his friend Althea to her love Gyah.
I will say once the action starts in this book it does not stop. This had a very satisfying ending.

I will say once the action starts in this book it does not stop. The book is full of a really great cast of characters. Robin has some great friends and people on his side. I did enjoy seeing him realize that he can count on others to help him when needed.

The smut, when it happens, does be smutting! I do wish the story took a few more breathers from the action to let the characters rest a little.

I really enjoyed the dynamic between Duncan, Erix and Robin. Duncan is such a cinnamon roll. It was nice to see all the characters have a part to play and show their strengths.

This had a very satisfying ending and was a fast and exciting read!

I really enjoyed this series, and was sad that it ended. This is the last book and it was a perfect conclusion. I felt it wrapped everything up nicely, and left you feeling fulfilled after another amazing adventure. Very much recommend and I can't wait to see what this author writes next!

I was waiting eagerly for this last book and think it's a good ending to the series. I'm gonna miss Robin and the others!
I hope to see a lot more of Ben Alderson!

Poor Robin absolutely canNOT catch a break. Ben Alderson didn’t pull any punches throughout the entire series, and this book was no different. It had such wonderful twists and turns, and I couldn’t wait to see how it all turned out. I read this book in practically one sitting. All of the lies and betrayal could have felt convoluted, but instead I felt were a crucial part of the emotional stakes of the series.

Once again, I loved the cast of characters, and I have been so happy to see the evolution of Duncan, Erix, and Robin throughout the series. This book focused more on them, which I really enjoyed. They all grew and changed through the books, and I will be sad to leave them behind.

It was a fantastic capstone to the series!

A lot of information has been provided on the previous book which this is a sequel to. I enjoyed how the series built on. What I loved the most is the simple yet informative dialogue and language used consistently throughout.

I enjoyed the reading as an evening session.
