Pine Hollow #3
A Goddess of Life & Dawn
Once upon a time, there were two Rhythm one of brilliance and one of darkness. But there was much more to the realms than the two gods alone could provide, so the Maker created a third, unknowingly unbalancing the Rhythm and setting the realms on a path of suffering.
The God of War has stolen that which I hold dearest. Though I am reunited with my beloved gods, a hole remains and my heart is in shambles. Together we must look to the past to preserve the future, for if we cannot restore the Rhythm, the realms will crumble.
Contains mature themes.

What a great ending to this series. After all the tears and heartache I went through reading this, I'm really glad it ended the way it did. All of these characters will forever hold a special place in my heart.

FINALLY!! I'm finally done 😭😭😭
That being said.....wow, what a ride. This one was by far my favorite one and has one of the BEST endings I've ever read in a book. I did not cry, but I did get sad at some parts and so, so happy in others. Solid 4 star series I think. It has very mixed, modern and old timey vibes. It was a little messy at first but she had me hooked the entire time and that says a lot. I will definitely read more of these Tomorrow stories and her stories based in fernestia. Thank you miss Moronova, it was a great experience!

WHAT A FINALE! This series was everything. I went through every single emotion possible while reading it. K.M. knows exactly how to hook her readers. Since the moment I started this series, I needed to know what was going to happen. A Goddess of Life and Dawn was such a stunning conclusion. In authentic K.M. fashion, my heart was absolutely shattered, and I honestly didn't think I would ever feel whole again (dramatic, I know, but its true). The way I grew so attached to these characters is probably unhealthy. This finale had epic battles, steamy spice, even more character development and everything was wrapped up into a neat little package. To say I was satisfied with the ending would be an understatement. That last chapter had be sobbing.
Highly recommend if you're into emotional, character driven, spicy, plot forward fantasy books!

What a wonderful end to this series, which was full of devastation, battles, trauma, joy, love and happiness.....Fellius my little god of love, what a wonder you were 💕

I am truly in awe of K.M. Moronova's writing like wow! I was hanging on every single word. The push and pull going on between all the characters. The deeper conversations about vicious cycle of betrayal and violence. On top of all that it is a spicy good time! I am so happy with how this series ended. It was so wholesome yet thought provoking. Just wow!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5
I enjoyed this whole series but waited to review the first 2 until I came to read all 3.
I enjoyed the pacing for the most part, as well as the world building. The descriptions absolutely build the world in your mind! One thing I could do with less of would be the constant descriptions of characters features. Eyes, wings. A mention occasionally to remind us would be fine but to read "azure eyes" "amethyst eyes" "gold tipped" every time we see the character gets to be a bit much. Same thing with "broken organ" and "my drop of blood in the snow."
Loved the spicy themes, the content warnings are accurate but I loveee the biting especially! The found family aspect is so lovely, especially as the story continues.
One downside I feel is that the ending came so quickly (or maybe I just wanted more!)

I honestly have no idea where to start.
The first page literally made me tear up. Not only the first page but there were moments id catch myself wanting to DNF just because I didn't want to read how North hijacked Rune.
As I kept reading, the plot was developing. Although it was moving, it seemed a bit all over the place, rushed if you will.
Everything just seemed to be too easy.
Books 1 and 2 definitely had a much slower pace and bigger heartbreak than AGOLD. I'm not sure if Elodie entirely healed in book 2. She went through some heavy trauma, so to see her forgive everyone so easily kinda ruined some moments for me.
Now don't stop reading given what I just said.
Although I did feel the book could've been longer and more thought out like books 1 and 2, I still fell apart. The moments you do feel connected to, just wreck you. One thing k does best is destroy you only to piece you back together.
Now onto shit I loved!
The insight into Arulius suffering and inner conflict was
*chefs kiss*🤌🏻 and to find out he wasn’t supposed to even be 😫 gods what a emotional disaster that was.
Now as for Rune, baby you will always have my heart.🖤
Although Elodie uses " my drop of blood in the snow" way too much I might just get it tatted.
As for Fellius, I wish there was more. I abso-fucking-lutely loved that he's "their" child, my heart melted.
A HUGE THANK YOU to K.M for this ARC Opportunity, I cannot wait to have the complete series sitting on my shelf 🥹🖤

If I could put into words exactly how I felt about this book, we might be here forever. The character development, the plot, but also the ability to introduce me to a new character in the span of one book and then make me care about them. HUH. I am the girl who is a die hard and simp for the boys, but K found a way to open my cold heart to new possibilities. This book broke me apart and put me back together many times. Gods, I'm tired. But I'm so incredibly happy to have read this series. K, I hope you always keep finding ways to make me love villains. Your writing has grown so much and it is truly chef's kiss. I'm going to go cry into my blanket some more.

My main question is this: how is this series so criminally underhyped? How is it not viral all over the internet already? Honestly—how?
Because calling this trilogy “good” doesn’t even come close. It’s perfect. Easily one of the best fantasy series I’ve ever read. And I’m not just saying that—no other series has ever made me cry this many times.
This entire series was beautiful, full of emotion – both joy and heartbreak – the character development was incredibly well-written, and the characters were just so lovable... I’m absolutely in love and will fight for this series every single time because it deserves the world.

A finished series whose characters will hold a special place in my heart 🖤
If you haven't read the Pine Hollow series, I'd highly encourage you to! Wren really stole my heart and had me laughing in this last book. It's so hard to say goodbye to them, but I really hope we get spin-off stories in the future from the side characters 🙏

For such a slow buildup, it was a fast let down. I did enjoy the ending, however I did not like the lead up to it. Overall I enjoyed the series, I just think the pacing could have been better.

ja asså det här var ju en jävla resa? är ändå imponerad att jag fortsatte läsa serien efter första boken (det är typ ett mirakel) men här är vi! och asså den här sista boken, en fyra är snällt, men det var också? typ fett bra? asså ett BRA och väldigt väldigt satisfying slut utan att det kändes så ”övermäktigt” och töntigt som det ibland kan göra när det ska va så ”åh va bra ingen dog alla är så glada”. not realistic, this ending was realistic in the best of ways! sjukt vilken vändning det tog. och asså förlåt? men jag vill va hon… inte en, inte två… inte tre, inte fyra, utan FEM ???? FEM!!!!!!! HUNKAR som slickar marken hon går på. ehm… yes please?

3.75 I really loved the character growth in book 2. This was a case of letting my own expectations of where I thought the plot was going to go get in my way. There wasn’t as much action as I would’ve liked but this was a good conclusion to the story

I enjoyed the wrap up of this series. The first half of the third book was kind of a time killer but the second half made up for it 💜 Aurulis

Another fantastic book from KM! After reading the first two books in less than two days, I was devastated that the third wasn’t already out. This was certainly worth the wait though. If you like suffering, having your heart shattered into pieces, and then put back together, this is the book for you. A great conclusion to the series. The growth for each character was heart warming to read throughout all three books. Especially Elodie’s. I am so glad that her heart never changed even with regaining her memories from Talia’s life. I’ve always loved Kastian the most and seeing him come out of his shell and work through his trauma was one of my favorite parts from the book. Arulius’ death broke me. I know his betrayal ran so deep throughout their group, but that guy just needed a hug. Anyone whose read these books knows how crass Wren can be so it is expected of him at this point, but I was so angry at him for what he said to Arulius before his death. North’s story line fell a little flat for me and the conclusion of their battle was… underwhelming. This book definitely moved slower than the others. Didn’t make me love it any less, but I was waiting for something big to happen between them and North, but Fellius saved the day with “hope” and a couple words. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. Nonetheless it was well written and I enjoyed how it all came together. I especially loved reading the end and the peace that came from it all after such heartbreak throughout the three books. I will always read KM’s books and I’m impatiently waiting for the next Alkrose Academy book!

I was more than honored and happy crying when I found out I was going to be an ARC reader. The wait was more than worth it. Between all the tears happy or sad, this book will put you through the right type of emotional roller-coaster. I loved every second of this series, and the last book was no different.
I only wish that I myself could travel to tomorrow to live with these beautiful inside and out gods and Goddesses. K.M will have you feeling like you are right there with them laughing, crying, and when their heart hurts, so does yours. It was an absolutely beautiful ride that this book has pulled me through and the only thing I wish is that it wasn't over.

I had the privilege of receiving an ARC of this book, and once again, K.M. Moronova has captured my heart with her storytelling.
When she mentioned that this book would make you ugly cry, she wasn't kidding! It tore my heart out, then pieced it back together, only to rip it out again. I can't find the words to describe how incredible this world is.
I particularly enjoyed reading from North's perspective; it humanized him for me.
Although I am sad to let go of this series, it will always have a special place in my heart. It had the most incredible ending ever, solidifying its place in my top three reads for 2023. I'm eagerly anticipating what this author has in store for the future!

What a beautiful way to end this series..
I was super lucky to receive an ARC copy of this book, and I pushed off reading it and dragged my through the grass cause I didn't want this story to end.
This book was everything and more for an ending and a beginning.
This book represents hope, love, life, and a new dawn. Everything that happens in this book happens to someone at some point in their life, and I think it really can me something to someone!
Thank you, K.M. Moronova for bringing the world of Tomorrow to a start but to a wonder ending.

ARC reader here. 🤚 This story was amazing. The author ripped my heart out in the beginning, but made it all better at the end. 🥹 I didn’t want to come to the last chapter for it to be over! I’m so excited to see what she has in store for us in the future.
I’ve said multiple times about this world she created in her brilliant mind. I love everything about it. She has a way of describing the world and characters that I can clearly see them in my mind like a movie.

What a finale. 4.5 stars rounded up. The only reason I took .5 off was because the timing felt a little off in the beginning. Honestly it was so good and I cried so many sad and happy tears. Genuinely the best ending I’ve read to a series in so long.

Well, she’s done it again. I swear this woman writes masterpieces 😭 I loved it from beginning to end. It will make you laugh and definitely make you cry.

I-ma'am, I have no words.
I can't believe it's done now 😭, I'm gonna be so hungover this series cause damn I need more of them. Can you please release like a novella or something where you show how they lived their lives now that they're complete? Pleaseeee
And truthfully I would want like a detailed walkthrough the world and the creatures that are in there cause I feel like that was lacking in the book but nevertheless it still is amazing. Looking forward to your upcoming books.
I wish we could've had more time with North though to really understand him as a character and see how he mixed in their family. I really got into the children although they weren't featured much, they were just so adorable. It would be nice to see the dynamic between the kids, the FL and the men.
Loved the fact that they all got a happy ending that was well earned instead of just you serving in on a silver platter.
Still can't believe this series really ended but I loved the journey this guided me into and it really brought me out of my reading slump. Now excuse me as I hyper fixate on everything and anything that has to do with this book and it's amazing world.
Kudos to the author cause you really brought out ranges of emotion from me and I think I made a mini river in my room from this series.
