This story is EVERYTHING... SUCH an Intense & Breathtaking Masterpiece! Full of twists and surprises and dry humor and spooky vibes (just in time for fall!), while still remaining bright and beautiful with hope and restoration and sacrifice and love.
It's the BEST sort of poetic, Shakespearean justice + dark comedy + unique lore + odyssey + twisty retelling (yet, NOT a retelling since it's its OWN story) all rolled into one.
This finale feels quite different from the previous three, but I still love it. Wilson is the QUEEN: she has the ability to tell this story (I'm talking about prose, characters, dialogue, clever riddles, wit, plot, themes... EVERYTHING) in such a way that makes my reader heart burst open with joy while also ache as if it has been torn into a thousand pieces.
Likely the closest word I have for describing this is Tolkien's eucatastrophe.
And if THAT doesn't make you want to read it, I can likely safely say that we don't have similar tastes in books. xD
Lastly, since this series has made it onto My All-Time Favorites shortlist, OF COURSE I must reread the entire thing back to back now that they're all released, and then TRY to piece my brain back together to write coherent reviews... ;) <33

Am I going to dump every other of my Currently Reading books off to the side for this MOST ANTICIPATED FINALE Release of the Year?? Yes. Yes I am, sir. ^.^ <33 I'm excruciating in love with the dedication and the (new!) artwork in this one already.
I'm doing it right now because about an hour ago, Sarah posted up the ebook for her Patreon supporters' early access. If you haven't started reading this series, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?? Get off of Goodreads and go read it NOW. >> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P3W81HM?...
This book is officially going to release at the end of this month. But it LOOKS like the hardcopy/paperback is already out according to Amazon!!

Maybe you've noticed, or maybe you haven't - I read a lot. My all-time favorite Fantasy-Romance series is this one, and just-published finale Die with Your Lord is nearly as good as the three prior novels. I mean, who could complain about a series with three 5-star novels and a 4-star finisher? NOBODY. And the entire series is available on Kindle Unlimited!
This one felt a bit different in tone and writing, and I found it harder to immerse myself this time through. I can't put my finger on anything more specific than that. I still loved it, but just not quite as much as the ones that came before.
There are precious few complete series that have earned such consistently high ratings from me, and hands-down, Bluebeard's Secret is my very favorite. I queue up everything Sarah K.L. Wilson writes.

I'm at a loss for words for this book. Everything that has been building for the past three books in this series comes to a stunning conclusion in this book in such unexpected ways. The ending is so triumphant. A little bittersweet, and yet so lovely. I just can't describe how amazing this book is!
If you haven't picked up this series yet, GO READ IT! This author weaves twisty, strange, weird, and wonderful fae fantasy so masterfully that I'm simply left in awe.

Die with your Lord (Spoiler Free):
This is the fourth and final installment of the Bluebeard’s Secret Series and I have got to say, thank God it’s over. This book for me was the final stage of a very wild and violent car crash. My sanity demanded that I stop reading this series, but my morbid curiosity and masochistic tendencies told me to keep on going. And kept on going I did.
I cannot say I hated this final installment, because it was entertaining on some visceral, wretched level. The final book finally slows down the frenetic pace the story kept for the past three books but who knew this would be to its detriment? Without the pace, the many convoluted knots it has become much more visible and with the prose becoming overly inflated, flowery, and outright confusing, I could have skipped whole pages of the book and probably come out less confused and still gotten to the predictable ending.
I will most definitely not EVER come back to this series. Do not read, do not recommend.
Review of the series as a whole (Spoilers):
Bluebeard retelling? As if! More like a twisted New Testament retelling.
I am convinced Sarah KL Wilson, does LSD while sitting at the front pew of whatever Christian Church she attends so that she can dream of having sex with Jesus Christ, which she envisions as a very good looking, tall, darkhaired man with a blue beard, that has violent and homicidal tendencies.
I will not deny that book one, Fly with the Arrow, drew me in. I was intrigued with the story, the prose was solid and Izolda was practical, I did want to know more. However, by book two, Dance with the Sword, Bluebeard basically bore stigmata and I was a bit disturbed. But I kept on going because I asked myself, is Bluebeard truly a Jesus character? And the answer is: why yes, yes he is.
Not only does he come back from the grave (twice might I add, once from a watery grave where he comes back after THREE DAYS and the second time, literally from the bowels of Death’s realm) but after his second rising he ends up becoming the universe. You read that right, when he is resurrected, Bluebeard is EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING is Bluebeard. Sound familiar?
I am not a pearl clutching, panties in a wad over mentions of religion type of person. Books satirizing religion do not scandalize me, nor do those inspired by fervor scare me, but this? I don’t know what this is. Had it been a satire I would have been more lenient with my reviews, and if this is fervor then the author needs to seek help, or an exorcism, depending on the branch of religion she follows.
I truly want to know what this series is, and what the author was thinking when she conceived it. It has elements of Alice in Wonderland, which many other books also have, but I must be lurking in the wrong corners of literature (and the internet) because never have I ever read anyone incorporate elements of wanting to fuck Jesus in their writing, not even in fan fiction.
I wish I could scrub my brain of this story. A priest will probably suggest I do so with holy water.

If I had to give a rating to the series as a whole, it would be 3 stars.
I truly enjoyed the first book, I was still engaged by the second, but by then I just kept reading in order to see how it would all end.
As much as I loved the setting, the atmosphere and the aesthetics of the saga, in the end I loathed its development.
"𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴."
Well, not really. Because in the end it was actually a bit depressing. Everything I feared for the main character in the previous books came true. She had zero agency from start to end, for everything was planned by others.
Also, the middle part of the book was actually quite boring. Our protagonist just wandered around meaninglessly. The writer obviously wanted us to feel some moments as "power scenes", with the main character bargaining with others, and yet it felt useless to me.
In my eyes, the series led to the complete annihilation of a woman's life for a man (and a shit one at that at times).
I hated seeing her at the mercy of others all the time, with no way of truly expressing her own will. Always bending to other's wishes, and always surrendering hers for the sake of the love interest (who kept her in the dark the whole time, for all his plans).
"𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸, 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳. 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘨𝘰. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳."
And after all the pain, the humiliation and sacrifice, she accepted everything for the sake of "love".
It is hard for me to believe the protagonist gave everything up and surrendered to all those circumstances only for the love of a man she had just met. Not to such extent. She had no personal motives aside from love and I felt is was a too weak motivation for all the abuse she suffered.

I can’t figure out what to say about this book, or about this series in general. This is, no joke, hands down my favourite series I’ve read all year. It’s gripping, it’s curious, it’s slightly horrifying, it will wrap you in a blanket and give you a nice cup of tea, it will indulge you with an ending so twisted yet sweet yet perfectly logical that nothing else could have been more satisfactory - or more Whittenbrand - than what was inked on those pages.
I adored Izolda and Bluebeard from start to end. They’re unlike any characters I’ve ever read in all the best ways. Their story is immaculate. This final homecoming of Izolda’s arc is impeccable. Bluebeard is iconic as always. And them together? Stunning.
Also. Just. In general. I won’t spoil it but. The plot and how everything comes together. Wowowowow. Yes. Love being stabbed in the heart and revived into a happily ever after. (That wasn’t sarcasm what I’m trying to say is that the emotional rollercoaster is SO WORTH IT!!!)
Anyways. If I’m honest I’m not sure what else to read now because what does one do after that? Yet at the same time, I’ve yet to suffer from a book hangover. If anything I feel more inspired to write, to explore, to add my own touch of practical curiosity to what can feel like a very bland world. What I’m trying to say is if you haven’t picked up this series yet, stop reading reviews and start reading the books already.

When I first ventured into the written world of Sarah K.L. Wilson, I fell in love with the themes of sacrificial love, redemption, and restoration. Such were what I found in the Twisted Fae series.
In this series, they’ve been ramped up and any imagery I saw in her other series pale to the almost blatantly obvious images she wrote into this series.
This, the last book of the series begins with what seems to be all hope lost, yet Izolda bears hope and the barely alive body of her husband along with her as she seeks to finish what he started.
Truly a beautiful end to a twisty and heartbreakingly remarkable tale that incorporates both fairytale whimsy and despicable depravity alongside eternal truths and offers it up.
Soli Deo Gloria indeed.

The most important thing about this installment of the series could have been merged with the previous one.
I found it a bit repetitive and unnecessarily long.
In any case, the story in general, I liked it a lot because the characters are adorable and what they live, and the way they experience it, absolutely remarkable.

Finally the conclusion! This is a very unique series; it definitely leans into the darkness of the Fae world. Just as an FYI, there is pretty graphic violence in the series. That didn't surprise me as I'd read her Seven Swords series (which I loved).
-Single POV (Izolda)
-Intense, dark & gritty
-Darkness vs Light
-Sacrifice & Restoration
-There is a HEA even if it takes some time to get there

How can a book be soo...dissapointing
There was absolutely no need for a fourth book when everything could have been wrapped up in book three if there was a few extra chapters
The first three books spent so much time building up their characters only for book four to deliver a watered down version of them.
So many things happened in this book for no reason at all?? Why did his other wife try to kill Izolda? What was the point of the mortal realm melting together with Wittenhame? Why did Izolda have to partake in a competition when it didn't even matter? It was like the author had run out of ideas and was just doing whatever
ALSO why did Blubeards and Izoldas relationship become so cringy Its like they sucked all the personality out of them, it just felt stale, every single time the book tried to explore the relationship even further it was just the same "Can you love me if i'm this" "Yes i can" over and over and over again, when in the first two books it was so exciting to see their dynamic
Grosbeaks personality was just irritating compared to being funny like he was in the first two books. I dont understand why there was still sympathy for him, he literally betrayed you, told you he outright hated you and laughed at your demise every single time and you still trusted him??
Also free my man Coppertomb why are you so salty cause he won the game yall are just mad he outsmarted you cause he stuck to the rules its not like he cheated
I genuinely dont understand what went wrong because the first three books are genuinely really good. I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT A TWO BUT THINKING ABOUT THIS BOOK COMPARED TO THE OTHERS JUST MAKES ME SO MAD SO IT SHALL GET THE ONE IT DESERVES

There's so much I want to say, and so much I need to leave unsaid.
This was the only ending to the series I would have accepted, which is good, because it seems to be the only ending Bluebeard would accept as well. The beginning was fast paced, the journey, torment, but the end was sweet, and kind, and necessary.
Izolda's happily ever after is very much the sort we all pine for. Her story is one we can find ways to relate to (despite the fantastical elements). And the relationships really breathed life into a world that otherwise would have felt unreal.
This entire series makes it onto my favorites shelf. I'm so sad it's over and can't wait to read it again. 😭

What an end. I did not expect so much of that. This did not follow the normal formula and I loved that. This was everything you would want an ending to be. The whole book was the ending. Well done Wilson. Looking forward to your next series.
There is a lot of violence still in this one. 17 and up. No bedroom scenes but talk of it that is for older teens.

Definitely one of my favorite series! So sad it’s over but it’s one I can read over again(which I rarely do.) This whole series is so whimsy, fantasy overloaded and so deeply romantic I want to die because where is my eccentric Bluebeard?! If you want to go on a journey full of twists, intrigue and a love so deep you feel it, read this!
April 6, 2025
Where do I even begin! This magnificent finale blew me away. I laughed, I swore, and I cried. Oh that ending did me in! Tears running down my face, but tears of happiness for Izolda and her Bluebeard! I had never heard of this author prior to this series but she has now been added to my shortlist of auto-buy authors. Well done, Ms. Wilson. 5 Arrows isn't enough.

I love this series, it has made it to my favorite list. Such cleverness and witty humor.
Language used- 1 H, 2 D, both words were also used a few times referring to the actual location. There was also mention of intimacy, but to my likings it seemed mild.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah….you tricked me pretty good. I LOVED the first book. I thought the idea and plot were so creative, the story was fast paced, and each new scene kept me on my toes to know what happened next.
THEN you got me with the “vow of chastity” for the other wives. At first I thought, wow he’s being so thoughtful and noble to those ladies, and once this is resolved, the leads will be together and we’ll get maybe one slightly detailed intimate scene. I was waiting for it, as the FMC and MMC really seemed to care for each other. The YEARNING.
BUT THEN I started noticing some things in this last book…the storyline with needing a rib to resurrect him…the injuries on his hands….and I was like hmmm are these religious undertones I’m sensing? Didn’t expect that.
And to top it all off, there was no sexy time and it was a real bummer that they didn’t worship each other for ALL THAT TIME AND EFFORT SHE RISKED.
Great overall series, let me down at the end.

Izolda & Arrow
Arrow is currently incapacitated, albeit strapped to her back, but if book goes another 50% without him saying a word, I'm going to have a problem.
I love that she put all the heads into her wife room and that Grosbeak protested because he should be the only pet.
I really do appreciate that this author had a story in mind and wasn't just trying to write a tropey love story with basics. This story and the details are kind of nutty. Now two pet heads.
Yeah, I suspected it in the last book, something about disobeying their no talking to each other rule is going to be what saves them. She just mentioned to herself that he never actually explained it to her.
Just realizing how far this story has come... from them not consummating the marriage that first night and their first trek on elk... so long ago, and so much has happened.
'"Most of the people I knew in life are dead now. And my only remaining friend is hideous." I shook Grosbeak's pole.'
The creativity is definitely back in book 4. Maybe that's what was lacking in book 3. The wives are awake, they're all carrying a head, death himself ate her hand and now it floats behind him... it's all nutty.
I realize, too, being the author's intent, that this is Izolda's story. She is the main character despite this also being a love story. The focus is very much her, and not them so much.
At 60%, he's the Bramble King, and they're back together... what more could there be in 40 more %?
The last should have probably been a novella. It's just tying up loose ends. Not bad. But, all of the tension is gone. It's just magic and happy endings at this point.
Why on earth does she have any fear in this moment? She knows who her husband now is. She knows that copperwhatever is a fraud, and that Arrow is just waiting to exile and humiliate him with a thought. Why is she afraid and panicking?
I think if this series was condensed into 3 books, it would be excellent. Not that I feel a lot needs to be cut out, but there were some less excellent parts. Book 4 felt like the happily ever after came once he was king, and they were reunited. Everything that happened after could have been a novella or a final chapter to quickly summarize all of the nice things that got better after. It didn't need to be half a book.
I agree with her that the kissing thing would have felt bad. He didn't have a food enough reason for her to be okay with it.
I did start to see the religious parallels towards the end of book 3, particularly with Arrow. His choice of words and his events and powers became a little obvious. I'm fine with parallels, but some things were too literal, and it took away from this story, this world. Especially where those parallels fell short - well, they all did.
He still didn't explain why they couldn't talk to each other.
Something about their relationship didn't land with me. The poetry was sweet at times, but it was a product of his creative mind, I think, moresothan that it was inspired by her. And did something change, we'll no, I guess I just learned more about who he was. He was exciting to meet in thr first book, and not that that excitement left, but maybe the threat? Of him left? And to end up as the good king at the end of it all? Amd full of poetic love for his wife? I dont know. It wasn't bad by any means, if anything it was much more complex than a lot of what's out there. It just wasn't necessarily the best for me. Maybe that's it.
Also, a critique on the larger story - the biggest obstacles, him being tied under the ocean and him being dead. They took up so much of the story but the resolutions to those problems were won too quickly and too separately from all of the effort she put into figuring it out. Aside from her accidently fulfilling prophecy, her efforts didn't amount to a satisfying result.

Arrow is currently incapacitated, albeit strapped to her back, but if book goes another 50% without him saying a word, I'm going to have a problem.
I love that she put all the heads into her wife room and that Grosbeak protested because he should be the only pet.

I had such hope for the end of this series, especially since the third book seemed to outpace the second but mannnnnnn was I disappointed. The imaginative elements and expansion of the harsh-yet-beautiful world of Wittenhame were not enough to save this book from cataclysm after all :(
Overlooking the fact that this is a sky daddy fantasy masquerading as a retelling (more on THAT below), we’re led to believe for the entire series that Bluebeard is an ancient being who’s had these elusive, elaborate plans in action to solidify his ascension to the Bramble King throne. Except, these “plans” never come to fruition? Like, we just never see any sort of comprehensive plot come into effect despite it being mentioned over and over (i.e., everyone repeating that Izolda is the fly in his ointment, etc.) There is ONE paragraph in this book (and to an extent, the whole series) discussing a single plan he put into place a long time ago- a single plan that the audience doesn’t even get to see play out. Bluebeard literally just says something along the lines of ‘Hey look- I put this statue here a long time ago in anticipation of a battle I thought would happen.” That is all- that’s the extent of 4 books worth of the author repeating that Bluebeard has these plannnnnnns. The author tries to elude to the that our MMC knew all along he’d have to sacrifice himself, but even still- that is less of a “plan” and more so an epiphany. It doesn’t come off as a millennia-long scheme that requires a whole lot of critical thinking, which is something that’s heavily implied throughout the series. These things appear to have been added for the sake of proving the writer had some grand finale in mind all along because, for the love of God, the end was very underwhelming and seemed to be thrown together without any cohesion.
Speaking of, *ahem*, God- it took me a not even a minute to recognize the many references to Jesus Christ. Bluebeard is VERY clearly supposed to be a symbol of Christ; the very beginning of the second book starts with Bluebeard sacrificing a rib for Izolda. Sound familiar (as in, Genesis 2:21-24 familiar)? At the end of the second book, Bluebeard rises after spending three days on the brink of death, with a hole in each hand from being stuck on a pillar with knives through each palm. Sound familiar (as in, the book of Matthew familiar)? He knows all along that he will have to sacrifice himself in order to ascend the throne, but comes to terms with it because he will be saving his people by becoming the essence everything, while donning a crown of brambles (which is synonymous with… A CROWN OF THORNS).
It took me more time to realize the intention of these recalls and that… it seems like the author has some sort of fantasy about fckng Jesus?! Add in these references alongside the mention of potential *passionate hugging* talk and sexual tension from being in various stages of dress pretty much every time the FMC & MMC are together and… you get the picture.
I grew up in a religious household and while I typically appreciate a Christian allegory (i.e., The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe / movies: Apostle and Mother), I simply CANNOT get behind some weird he-is-rizzen wet dream fantasy. Despite pushing through the whole thing, it culminated in a mountain-sized “wtf did I just read” disenchantment.

Wow! What an ending. This tied up the story so well and even answered some of my questions about Bluebeard's character which lingered from book one.
In my perspective, the story is undeniably allegorical, though in a more Song of Solomon sort of way than anything I've read before. Not entirely sure how I feel about that! 😅 Consider, for example:
So much in this book (and series) points out the frailty of humanity and both the significance and insignificance of mortal existence. But it does so in a kind of mind bendy way that makes you question if you're exploring great truths or just hurtling down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland.
Though I didn't mind it, the second half of this book felt like a drawn out denouement. Somewhat like the ending of Narnia's The Last Battle.
Fair warning. This is the most romance-y of all the books. How could it not be since the story is coming to an end. Though the long delayed consumation of the marriage is merely implied, there's a couple very enthusiastic make-out scenes and a rather appreciative bathing/post bathing getting dressed scene. PG-13 level I'd say.
For other content comments, see my review of the first book in the series.

I always save my biggest reviews for the last book :)
I loved this series. It was slightly more violent than what I typically go for, but the story more than made up for it.
Izolda is a level headed, practical kind of girl, Bluebeard, or the Arrow, is everything she is not. What unites them is their shared love for one another, and the beauty that they see that could be in a dark, volatile world. If only someone where to rise up, tear down the old, and build up the new.
Izolda is a well written, strong willed heroine, but not so “strong” that she is above crying or throwing up when the occasion warrants it. Her love is what drives her forward, even to the very end, it is love. If I had to pick a theme for this series, I’d say it is hard fought, and hard won love. Through bitter, bloody battles, to the smallest tender moment.
Content warnings are few:
Violence: There is violence but not purposeless or gratuitous.
Language: Phrases like “hounds of hell” and damnation are mentioned but they are very few and far between.
Sexual themes: Again, not gratuitous. The most you see is kisses and caresses between Izolda and Bluebeard, who are married. There is one fade-to-black scene near the end of this book.
I’d say that the age category for this SERIES is older teen and adult audiences.
I highly recommend to fans of a Noblebright story in a Grimdark world!

I'm writing the same review for all four books because these 100% feel like the author wrote a long-ass book and just randomly chopped it up into four more edible pieces.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if a religious studies doctoral student was TRIPPING BALLS? BOY HAVE I A BOOK FOR YOU.
This is just a weird, trippy mish-mash of Bluebeard, , Oberon/fey mythology alllll shaken and mixed up and put into hallucinogenic passages. And Bluebeard started out so cool and mean and mysterious and ended up as a cardboard cutout of I preferred him before then, when he was cool and mean and mysterious.
I also got very, very tired of the treacherous talking head. He's mean! And yeah, the book needed a fool character to lighten stuff up, but honestly I got real tired of him real fast. Izsolda, that is not what a friend is like! And yes, I know your husband is but you deserve someone who's, like, interesting and not all "I forgive you, my child."
A weird-ass book that was interesting. And interesting can get you far, because I read this book very, very quickly.

Die With Your Lord is a Bluebeard retelling by Sarah K.L. Wilson. It's also the fourth and final book in the Bluebeard's Secret series.
Izolda is a mortal young woman married to a fae Lord she nicknamed Bluebeard. She is his sixteenth bride and, just like his previous brides, her days are numbered, yet she isn't like his other brides in that he has married her with fae vows that are more binding than human ones. They must save both the human and fae realms, but often she must face challenges and choices, many of which are riddles and puzzles, seemingly without his help as he is close to Death's door and under a fae geas.
Sarah K.L. Wilson writes poetically, even while torturing her characters. The fae are cruel and inflict lots of grisly violence on each other and especially on humans. Izolda must watch her every step, not only from the fae but also from the humans.
This final book has more biblical references than the previous ones, but they are twisted into a magical fantasy adventure. It also has more romance and all the kissing scenes are tastefully described.
I received an ARC, and my review is completely voluntary.

This series...
I think finding a fantasy romance to top this will be a high order indeed.
This conclusion has had me daydreaming and thinking about it days after the story.
I miss the lyrical quality of this story already.
I miss the poetic romanticism of this world.
It is acutely difficult to put into words how this book has made me feel.
On the surface level I will warn that their is a good amount of violence and some gross moments with mild gore.
Yet in the struggle and triumph you witness in this book...those surface things fade into the background.
I know nothing about the author's religious beliefs, but I found myself rejoicing in my faith in this book.
It brings to my mind all the ways that My Lord has sacrificed for me and made a way to give me eternal life.
There are so many nuanced things that I can't give away.
But man it presents redemption as the most romantic thing you can imagine.
Redemption and restoration in this book is beautiful, heroic, Epic, world changing.
And in truth, isn't that how it should be presented.
I'm rambling.
I know.
But man that was a wild ride of a series.

It started off great but I couldn't stand the constant poetry and flowery words. I know it was the Hero's character but it wasn't for me. I thought the author did a fairly good job at world building but failed dealing with a humans normal emotions.
As an example in book 2:
This is not something I'd be interested in reading again. I wouldn't say I'd not recommend it because I can understand it's appeal for others though.

"Besides, few older women have cleavage so firm you could use it to hold the extra copies of your books." This right here. I choked on my coffee when I read that line, and it's one among many. I basically had to put a hold on drinking liquids while reading this last installment to protect my kindle. Shocking doesn't begin to describe the ride this series takes to its conclusion.
"Die With Your Lord" has officially made Grosbeak hands down the best sidekick character every put on paper and I will die on this hill. What a foil! and what a eulogy!
I didn't ugly cry like I did in Phoenix Heart (small mercies), but "Die With Your Lord" made my heart feel so incredibly full to bursting! oh my gosh!!! I just love that feeling! "Fire of my eyes" "sun of my world" "Queen of my Heart" seriously swoon! What a Love! and the poetry!!! ahhhh I loved every bit of this conclusion. Titus Andronicus meets Sarah KL Wilson's Happily Ever After. "Nothing was so lost that it could not be brought back."
This is the ultimate fairytale!
