Harper L. Woods takes us on a breathtaking, high-stakes journey in What Sleeps Within the Cove, delivering a story packed with heart-wrenching sacrifices, gripping trials, and an unraveling destiny that kept me hooked from start to finish.

Estrella’s journey in Tartarus is everything I hoped for and more—intense, emotional, and filled with the kind of growth that makes a character unforgettable. Her struggle to survive without her magic, her relentless determination, and the discovery of her true lineage add so much depth to her story. And Caldris? His devotion and dramatic declarations made every moment between them feel even more powerful. Their bond, even in separation, is absolutely electric.

The trials of the Five Rivers were brutal and captivating, and the world-building in Tartarus was nothing short of mesmerizing. The tension, the action, and the sheer weight of Estrella’s choices made this book impossible to put down.

This installment was everything I wanted—dark, emotional, and deeply satisfying. And now, I’m desperate for the next one!

This book could have been fewer chapters

FMC is on another adventure but doesn't seem to finish off with the last books adventures.

We get a new POV that helps the reader but I didn't feel it was necessary.
We're 4 books in now. I wish the series ended here but of course there's more and I'm unsure whether I'll continue, the wait for this book was so long it took me till 70% in to remember the majority of the previous books.

There were some answers to questions from books 1-3 so that was good

FINALLY!!!

We finally find out about Estrella's lineage! I had my theories based on What Lurks Between the Fates and I wasn't far off which was extremely satisfying 😂 (and you find out in the first half of the book ✔️)

This book was so much more than what I was expecting. Even though there's a little less spice than in previous books, so many questions were finally answered! The plot also took a whole different direction than what I was expecting but in a good way. The events and emotional journey that Estrella goes through while in Tartarus were exactly what we needed and Caldris, so full of dramatic declarations, was just what Estrella needed 😍🤤🔥
