When a map leads to a hidden city brimming with strange magic, how many secrets will they unveil… Violet longs for an adventurous life. After she learns her aunt Lark is missing, she volunteers to save her. With only an injured falcon and a crude map to follow, she sets off into uncharted waters.

Nox may be the only one who suspects the evil forces formerly plaguing Dracwood are still festering. Along with his bonded cat, he joins the search for Lark. It’s not long before the hunter becomes the hunted. A beguiling beauty may hold the key to his captivity, but only if he wins the deadly game he’s forced to play. Ryon lives in service to the gods, desperate to right a wrong with the rare magic they wield. One day they gift him an impossible treasure and present him with a riddle. When the answer leads to unexpected danger, will he have the courage to face it? Can they survive sailing into the unknown, or will the journey be their doom… Bloodfeather Lullaby is the first book in the Bloodsong Trilogy. It’s perfect for fans of fantasy adventure, slowburn romance, unique magic, animal companions, and epic quests of good vs. evil.

Sure a great adventure. I cannot wait until book two. The first couple pages I struggled but after that the book sucked me in. Love the imagery. Has a whirlwind of emotions too. Who doesn’t love that.

I was fortunate to receive an ARC of Bloodfeather Lullaby, and I was immediately drawn into the unique world that Amber L. Werner has crafted. This captivating fantasy is populated with intriguing characters, a plot that is a rollercoaster of twists and turns, an epic quest, and not one but two love stories that unfold gradually.
Bloodfeather Lullaby, the first book in the Blood Song Trilogy, lays a solid foundation for the series. The world-building is intricate yet accessible, and the rich history and lore add depth to the narrative. While the story is a coming-of-age fantasy, with Violet, the FMC, discovering and honing her powers, I believe the Blood Song Trilogy has the potential to captivate a diverse audience. I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment.

I can’t believe I’ve finally finished this book!! Wow.. I can’t wait for the next in the series, the amount of questions I have that need answering. This book was perfect for me. I hated having to put it down! The perfect amount of action to keep me engaged each chapter. I went from laughing to crying in a matter of pages so it was certainly a whirlwind of emotions🤣 Definitely have the tissues on hand! I knew from the description alone I would love this book but now I have to wait for the next one which makes me kind of sad I can’t lie😅🤣 so many questions that I want answered! I have so many theories and thoughts for how this could play out and who people could be! This book officially releases on October 12th so please please please check it out when it does! I’m so grateful I’ve been able to have another amazing 5⭐️ read! Thank you @amberlwerner for allowing me to review this I’m honoured to have been part of such an incredible story so far🫶🏻🥰
(The fact that I finished this book at 4:15am after not being able to put it down and finally being able to read should tell you enough in itself🤣☺️)

This is the beginning of an epic tale… different cultures, abilities and danger await…
Fight for the ones you love, put yourself through the trials to achieve a great gift!
Discover who you are meant to be and maybe find some love along the way!
This was a great story, the characters were all well written and their stories aligned perfectly with the journey they had to endure! I can’t wait to read what happens next!

I received this as an ARC and loved it! The first few pages sucked me in. I’m interested to see more of violets abilities in the next book. I would also love to see a little more world building, but she did do a good job.
My soul crushed when Nox endured what he did. I really hope he gets a happy ending! I also have my fingers crossed that he gets a little romance in the next book.
All in all this was a good book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is very much a YA fantasy. That's not at all an insult- I enjoyed this very much and will most likely buy a physical copy as well as read the next books - just an accurate description to temper expectations. It's not High Fantasy.
My rambling thoughts while reading (minor spoilers);
Good Magic "system". Stolen magic that can run dry and never replenish. I like it. The Familiars are also a delight - the mental link (like dragons), the various species you can bond and the boons are quite clever.
I also like the Queens solution to the leftover magic wasn't to force anyone or kill them. They have a choice, but are compensated if they relent.
Good world building. Not too much information all at once, but enough sprinkled in here and there to keep it flowing.
Points for a visibly different FMC and a vision impaired side character. Though I do wish the shadow-blind character was a main character and had like a Bondmate that acts as their eyes. I'm a sucker for blind characters, so this is purely personal preference.
Violet and Ryon's attraction to one another is so innocent, sweet and - most importantly- believable. I also appreciate the modest but important age difference. Also can we just appreciate that Ryon's hair would put Fabio to shame?
Points for the FMCs first travel companion being a DILF-energy Uncle, as opposed to the mid-late aged, grey haired, bearded grumpy father-figure that's oh so common in fantasy. This change is fun and refreshing.
One little gripe I have so far: I wish the small amount of time Violet and Ryon had journeying together, just the two of them, wasn't glossed over. That's where their bond got its start, and it would be beneficial to have that. Their duty to each other is still within reason without this extra detail, but it would really solidify any doubt (at least from Violets end) of why they trust each other.
Bonus points for Gladiator.
Negative points for Flint.
I do wish Violet had done /more/, but I also understand why she has a slow start to her powers and general uncertainty to her capabilities. She's not at all unrelatable though, and she has excellent room for growth in the coming books.
There is a bit of... "urban magic" which, when you first get to it, seems a little jarring after only seeing "traditional" magic, but the author did a good job mingling the two together to create her own unique world.
I'm a little bitter we didn't learn what's wrong with Ryon's brother, but at the same time, this is the first book of a Trilogy, so it makes sense some things won't be answered right away.
Tl;dr 100% worth reading

Bloodfeather Lullaby is a captivating tale where elemental magic and animal bonds coexist. This enchanting fantasy world introduces readers to a realm where many adventures await.
It was a great read and I would recommend it to any fantasy readers for the reasons below:
✨Multiple POV:
The author skillfully allows us to delve into the minds and experiences of various characters which I thought added depth to the plot and kept us engaged as they explore the world through different perspectives.
✨World- Building
The world-building in Bloodfeather Lullaby is extraordinary. The elemental magic is hinted only and seems mysterious to me... I'll need to read the Palisade Trilogy to understand better what happened there.
The bond between characters and their animal companions is beautifully portrayed, with a rich array of creatures, including birds and majestic big cats. I also really like the peacock-like orelcons' description which, in my opinion, is adding a sense of wonder to the story (I love peacocks and never find them in fantasy stories). This relationship between humans and animals is a central theme that enhances the whole story for me.
✨ Characters
I also really enjoyed the bond this family has where everyone is loving and supportive of each other. That was beautiful to read.
✨Descriptions:
The descriptions within the book strike a perfect balance. They provide vivid imagery that allows readers to immerse themselves in the magical world without becoming overly lengthy. This approach made it easier for me to visualize the setting and characters clearly. It also really made me feel like seeing characters art of Violet, Ryon, and all of them really, to bring them to life.
✨Storyline:
The fast-paced nature of the story is a definite plus. From the moment we embark on the quest, we feel a sense of urgency, making it a page-turner that never loses momentum. ( I read the book non-stoo in a day)
Trigger Warning ⚠️:While Bloodfeather Lullaby is an enchanting read with many merits, it's important to note that some scenes depicting animal suffering may be distressing for sensitive readers, so caution is advised.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed reading Bloodfeather Lullaby and I'll be sure to purchase the physical edition, would love to see a special edition of this book 😍
I am also looking forward to reading the next book and meet the dragon of this world 😍

✨Review✨
Bloodfeather Lullaby is the first in a trilogy. This one started a bit slow for me, but that is something I have come to expect from book 1 in a fantasy series. There was a good bit of world building, but It became apparent about halfway through that there is another series in this world that would have given a better knowledge base to fully appreciate what was happening in this story.
Our FMC, Violet has been longing for adventure her entire life, and that adventure comes her way when her Aunt goes missing.
I enjoyed the unique magic system in this story and I always love a good person/animal familiar story, which this was heavily reliant on. I loved the use of the bloodfeathers as magical get out of jail free cards but I did fins they used them a little too often, which didn't leave a lot of room for building tension that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Ryon, our MMC, is on a mission to save his brother when his path crosses Violet's but we don't learn what he's saving him from in this book. The blooming relationship there is sweet and never comes off as inappropriate or one sided, which I enjoyed. Definitely a good YA style that I would feel good about my teenager reading.
This was a well written book 1 and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of this trilogy.

Bloodfeather Lullaby is an enchanting entry into the Bloodsong Trilogy, blending epic adventure, unique magic, and a cast of memorable characters. The story follows three protagonists—Violet, Nox, and Ryon—whose lives intertwine on a perilous journey to uncover hidden truths and face otherworldly dangers. Together, they navigate uncharted waters, strange magic, and deadly games in a quest that promises much more than any of them anticipated. With its rich world-building and intriguing magical elements, this book offers a compelling start to a larger saga.
What I Loved:
The characters are one of the book’s strongest elements. Violet’s determination, Nox’s enigmatic nature, and Ryon’s devotion to the gods make them a fascinating trio to follow. Each character has distinct motivations and personal stakes that enrich the narrative. The magical system, particularly the bonded creatures like Nox’s cat and Violet’s falcon, adds a delightful and original layer to the story. The wishing feathers, with their ties to the magic of the world, are both captivating and mysterious, creating moments of wonder and tension. Additionally, the lush world-building immerses you in a land brimming with secrets and adventure.
What I Didn’t Love:
While the book shines in many areas, the pacing is a challenge. The story takes a while to gain momentum, with most of the action and high-stakes drama occurring in the latter half. The slower beginning made it difficult to fully engage with the narrative early on. Additionally, while I appreciate that this is the first book in a series, the ending felt unresolved, leaving many threads dangling without a clear sense of closure for this installment.
Final Thoughts:
I rated Bloodfeather Lullaby 3.5/5 (rounded to 4 stars for GoodReads) stars and would recommend it to fans of fantasy adventures. It’s an imaginative, character-driven story with unique magical elements, and while the pacing is slow at first, the rich world-building and intriguing premise make it worth the read. It’s a great addition to any fantasy lover’s collection, and I’m excited to see how the story continues in the next installment of the Bloodsong Trilogy.

I truly enjoyed this book! It had action, adventure, mystery, magic and blossoming love.
Violet, our main FC, is wishing for an adventure when she is suddenly tasked with finding her aunt who goes missing. Along with her Uncle Nox and his bond, Flint, they set off on their journey.
The become separated and Violet finds herself alone for the first time when she meets a mysterious gruff man with secrets of his own, they set off together to rescue her aunt and uncle.
Uncle Nox is pretty cool, he is more comfortable with animals than he is females. Until he meets his match in a mysterious beauty he encounters.
Ryon has been mining silver since he as young to appease the mysterious, Mother Orea, hoping to grant him a meeting he has been desperately working for. One day, he is tasked with a mission to find a certain egg. He is gifted magical feathers that help him along his journey. I thought the feathers was a really cool idea! You will have to read this book to know how they work.
He stumbles upon Violet and is mesmerized by her unique appearance and convinces himself that he must help her with her journey in hopes that she will help him in return.
This book has magic bonds between humans and animals that are unique. If you read this, please note that there is a section of fighting between animal and humans. Nothing gruesome but know that it is in his book.
Once they set off on their journey, I couldn't put this book down. Amber does a wonderful job with the pace and action of the story that you want to know what happens next!
Read this if you like Sunshine/grumpy, animal bonds, magic, adventure, action and family drama!
A wonderful adventure for anyone looking to escape into a magical world.

I'm really liking that lately, I keep picking books that show a wider variety of main characters! In this book, Violet is albino (idk if I've come across another book that had albino representation in it) and has the same outdoor allergies that plague us all in the spring. How difficult that has to be to deal with, without allergy meds is beyond my comprehension. But I need to know why you don't carry a handkerchief for all the sneezes?
The author did a great job world building and introducing us to new sectors of the world in way that didn't feel forced. It truly felt like we were discovering things with the characters. There is a fantasy multicultural feel to it that I really like as the characters get to know one another and learn just how different thier ways of life are. I was in uttershock with there being grass in the underwater city! It was not what I had pictured at all and just shows another detail the author thought through to draw us in.
There is the start of a budding romance in this book that I noticed between more than one couple and I'm interested to know where it will go in book 2!
I'm going to need artwork for this series bc in my mind the Orecolns look like giant silver pelicans and I know they'd condem me for that...
This was another book I wasn't sure how much I'd like it the first couple chapters in. The conversations at first felt a little stiff. I would of liked maybe a little pushback from Violet in the start. But thats just my personal opinion and should no way stop you from reading this series!

I received this book as an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this book. This is the first time I read books by this author, and I can see myself becoming a fan.
While reading this book I realized it was the continuation of the “Palisade Trilogy”. Me being me would have loved to start the story from the beginning, but life is what it is. Will keep busy reading the “Palisade Trilogy” while waiting for the second installment of the “Blood Song Trilogy”.
Where to start… I liked the storyline. While setting a quest to follow is nothing new, the fact that one of the main characters has potentially two different types of magic, elemental magic (almost extinct) and a bondmate was. There are also “blood feathers” and the “Unseen” to add to the mix. I don’t remember coming across anything like this in previous books.
The book was fast-paced. I remember thinking while reading it that maybe the author could hang around in some parts to explain a bit more, again, maybe it was done in the previous ones.
I read it in one sitting, and I am sure that if the follow-up was published, I’d still be sitting reading it.
The only thing I found hard to ……. (can’t think of the word), was that Flint was too “human” in his interactions with Nox. It made me think that he was more like a wise man than an animal.

First off, the covers for this series are STUNNING!! 💖 And the maps are great. I LOVE a good map.
📖 Bloodfeather Lullaby: Perfect for readers of fantasy adventure, slow burn romance (the slowest!), unique magic, animal companions, and epic quests, and good vs. evil. This was a solid fantasy adventure with the FMC, Violet, and her uncle, Nox, along with his bonded cat, Flint, on a quest to save Lark (Violet’s aunt and Nox’s sister) with only an injured falcon and a crude map to follow. Misfortune puts Violet on the path to seek support from a stranger (Ryon). Ryon lives in service to the gods, desperate to right a wrong with the rare magic they wield. One day they gift him a valuable resource and a riddle. When the answer to that riddle connects him to Violet, the quest takes a turn even more perilous. There is no cliffhanger, the author sets up the story for book two.
The author knows how to write a compelling adventure. I was hooked following along cheering the characters on to complete the quest safely. There were a few plot twists revealed that will be prevalent in book two that I am excited to find out about. The characters were relatable, and the pace was good. I admit that I am used to a little more tension with the slow burn romance but that will probably pick up in book two.
📖 Bloodfeather Lullaby: Perfect for readers of fantasy adventure, slow burn romance (the slowest!), unique magic, animal companions, and epic quests, and good vs. evil. This was a solid fantasy adventure with the FMC, Violet, and her uncle, Nox, along with his bonded cat, Flint, on a quest to save Lark (Violet’s aunt and Nox’s sister) with only an injured falcon and a crude map to follow. Misfortune puts Violet on the path to seek support from a stranger (Ryon). Ryon lives in service to the gods, desperate to right a wrong with the rare magic they wield. One day they gift him a valuable resource and a riddle. When the answer to that riddle connects him to Violet, the quest takes a turn even more perilous. There is no cliffhanger, the author sets up the story for book two.

Bloodfeather Lullaby by Amber L. Werner is absolutely amazing!
*SPOILER FREE*
I received this book as an ARC and I might just have to by a physical copy, which I typically don't do for the books I read on my kindle. That's just to show how much I loved this book.
I have rated Bloodfeather Lullaby as 5 stars, which is rare for me because I tend to be picky with my ratings.
When I started reading this book I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but it has such an amazing sense of adventure and the plot is absolutely amazing. I couldn't help but to keep reading and now I'm impatiently waiting for the next book to release!
The characters are so different from the typical fantasy expectation you might be thinking of, which immediately drew me in. There wasn't a single character I disliked (Except for the ones we're not supposed to like of course)
One thing I absolutely adored about this novel is the cultural differences in the characters and the places they adventured to. Along with that, this novel has a huge emphasis on connections and friendships with animals, we get to hear their thoughts and how they feel and I really enjoyed that aspect.
I highly recommend Bloodfeather Lullaby if you are interested in magic, adventure, and coming of age stories.

I received and ARC of this book. Thank you for the opportunity! This was my driest read by Amber Werner.
This is the first book in the Bloodsong Trilogy. The story is a fast-paced fantasy adventure. Filled with wonderful descriptive world building. Multi-cultural/races, elemental magic, animal comrades whose bond and relationship enhance their storyline. The story line starts fast and upholds throughout the book! A definite page turner and wonderful addition for any fantasy reader.
The animals are well depicted. I, personally, think the Orelcons were my favorite!
As for the main characters I really enjoyed the playful banter between Ryon and Violet. Multi- POV allowed for us to see and experience more of the world at once.
Nox was more of the broody hunter and Flint! Don’t get me started…
Initially worried I wouldn’t like Lark, I found the aunt (and Uncle Aren) to be a wonderful addition to the story. Even during the Epilogue, we get to hear and see more of them.
I would highly recommend this series! Really looking forward to the next installment! Now I’m going back and will read the Palisade series :)

Bloodfeather Lullaby is a captivating adventure that starts with a brief introduction into the Kingdom of Dracwood before sending us ahead in time where we learn more about our FMC, Violet, and the start of her journey to not only help find her missing family member but herself as well.
With this journey symbolizing, in my opinion, a "coming of age" quest, we see Violet as a young woman seeking adventure while also hoping to find her bondmate, animal companion. Certain trials present themselves, causing her to question who can be trusted and can she do this alone.
Luckily, our MMC, Ryon, listened to the God's of his island and took the riddle they provided to heart. Taking everything they have provided him, he continued his own tale to right a wrong from years prior. In doing so, he met Violet and found that though he would never stop his quest, he wanted to help Violet more.
With both their stories intertwining, a friendship begins to build. Providing them both the strength and desire to keep going, along with a building slow burn romance that has me hoping it continues throughout the trilogy! I truly enjoyed this fantasy adventure with the sprinkle of romance and beautiful world building! Although it is not necessary, I also feel reading the Palisade Trilogy will give more history and a possible clearer understanding of events/mentions within Bloodfeather Lullaby!

Star Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review:
This was such a cute read! I really enjoyed reading it. The pace was consistent, which was nice. There wasn't any big things that made me go "OMG" or "WOW" but I still enjoyed this book nonetheless. There are cute pairings in this book couple wise and would like to see how they play out in the next book. This book is all plot, very little romance, which was not a downer for me. I'm the type to enjoy plot more than anything. Have a good plot and I'm sucked in. I really enjoyed the characters as well too, they all had good backgrounds that were different and unique. I loved the aspect of having animal masks on people that work for the ruler of this underwater city we are taken to, It gave it a mysterious factor to the book for me as well when doing so. The magic that we are given a glimpse of is very little in the beginning and not a lot of it through the book, but i'm sure that within the next two books things will start to unravel and we will see more of violets power. I'm excited to see how things play out within the next two books!

Read If You Enjoy
🪶 Animal Companions
🪶 Epic Adventure & Quest
🪶 Unique Magic
Rot and Decay! This book was amazing. A magical adventure filled plot twists, lovable animal companions, unique magic, and a high stakes quest that pulls you in from the first page.
My favourite elements in this book were the unique magic and bonded animal companions. I loved that we got to hear the conversations between the characters and their bonded companions. I am not going to say much about the magic other than that it was really unique and love the roles it played in the story.
The characters were well written, and the world building was beautiful. The story, full of suspense and action, flowed effortlessly. This book also made me sob with one truly heart-wrenching twist I did not see coming.
I can't wait to see where their adventure will take us in the next book.
Thank you, Amber, for providing me with an ARC copy of Bloodfeather Lullaby in exchange for an honest review 💜

▪️Fantasy adventure
▪️SLOW-BURN
▪️Magical Animal companions
▪️MPOV
▪️Elemental magic/unique magic
▪️Quests
This was an exciting read! The first few chapters were about our main characters and getting to know them. There was also world building and some explanation of the magic system. Although this trilogy can be read without reading the Palisade Trilogy, I feel like I would have a better understanding had I read it first. I still plan to read it though as I look forward to seeing what the world was like when Violet’s parents were young.
The FMC, Violet, is a likable character and I admire her strength and bravery. Even when she doubts herself she still manages to persevere. I hope to see more action from her in the next installment. I adore Ryon and am slightly obsessed with Nox, they are the MMC’s. I am always for magical creatures but having them as bondmates really adds to the telling of a story.
There is a slow…SLOW burn that I really appreciated. It definitely added to the story. I hope to see that relationship develop more in book two.
There were points where I was feeling the emotions heavily as events were taking place. This story is well written and definitely creative. A true fantasy adventure that is fast paced and fun to read. I am definitely looking forward to reading Bloodfeather Heartsong!
Overall, I would definitely recommend!

Magic, mystery, adventure, creatures and danger.
This book was a very wonderful read.
I loved the adventure it takes you on in different areas of the world. You are given many different cultures that shows how different things can be in new places. The bonds of family and friendship are also very dear in this book, even in the most unlikely moments.
While on this mission, the Vi, Nox and Ryon are enveloped by mystery while they try to save one of their own. But one of them must also navigate the loss of their bondmate while being imprisoned. Thought not being able to figure out how they are going to save Lark and themselves.
I want to say I have not read the other books that go with this story, (Palisade Trilogy) and despite that I was still able to understand all the important things that where going on in this book. I can't wait to read the next book!

I think I would lean more toward a 3.75 but I’ll round up. I definitely kept reading this book for the plot, not the writing. The writing itself was subpar and choppy, and felt like the author had a thesaurus on standby for every word. The only thing that really bothered me was that the author was trying to use an older/more proper way of speaking, but there were current day phrases sprinkled in. I wish she just stuck to one.
The story!! I really enjoyed the story. I felt like the progression of some parts of the story felt inorganic and the foreshadowing could’ve been more subtle, but it was a sweet story and I like how they answered one of the mysteries at the end. I love how different the FMC appears (and love the lack of training arc) and how innocent the slow burn is with the love interest. Unique story! It’s really fun so far!

I received this book as an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I didn’t realize the Palisades trilogy was connected to this story. So, initially, when I started the book I felt like I was thrown into a world I knew nothing about and overloaded with terms that didn’t have much explanation as to their meaning. I wasn’t sure I would enjoy the story. However, I kept reading, the story started to fall together, and I ended up really liking it.
I enjoyed the animal companions and how they bond to their humans. Nox and his various boons from his bondmates were a cool addition.
I’m curious to find out more about the magic Violet holds as we just got a glimpse of it at the end of this book.
I’m definitely interested to see where this story goes in the next book!

I received an ARC for an honest review
I liked the book but I did feel confused at first but that gradually resolved throughout the book. Note on that I haven't read the trilogy prior to this one yet and that might have made a difference.
It was an interesting story with an uncle and niece going on an quest to find a missing family member. They sail into unknown territory where Violet meets the other main character in the book Ryon who is a resident of the island they anchor near.
Ryon has been told to wait at the shore for something described in a verse I can't remember but it fits as a description of Violet. He agrees to join her in her rescue mission. While she was going to the shore her uncle and his bond mate were captured and their boat burned.

Bloodfeather Lullaby by Amber L Werner
Book 1 in Blood Song Triology
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars
This book is such a fun read! I can't wait to see the growth and development throughout this series. I loved the animal companions and the banter. It was so fun! This book reminded me more of a fun coming of age style novel. The fmc, Violet, has lived a very sheltered life with her parents on a farm when a message arrives that her aunt is in trouble and needs her help. Then Violet and her Uncle Nox set out on a quest to rescue her Aunt Lark. Along the way, Nox ends up captured, and it all falls to Violet to step up and save them. She meets Ryon, who is on a quest of his own, and he agrees to help her. Throughout the journey, Violet does a lot of self-discovery and grows into the woman, her mother, the seer said she would become to save the day. This world is filled with witches, creatures, different gods, and lots of new lands. The book is written from multiple POVs, and it is so easy to get attached to these characters. It was such a quick read and leaves off with you immediately wanting to know what happens next! I can't wait to dive into the next book!

This Action & Adventure Fantasy is exquisite. The story revolves around Ryon, in addition to Violet and her family. Ryon seeks to right a wrong by serving his gods. Violet wishes to find her missing aunt and uncle. Their missions collide on the beach of his island.
The main character must navigate through danger lurking in many places. All the while, their family and colleagues face different hazards. This story is one of service, determination, and heroism. The end includes foreshadowing of their future without seeming like a cliffhanger. Ultimately, this title is refreshingly entertaining.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Scary. Tragic. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.

I am so excited Amber bridged her Palisade Trilogy with this new trilogy! The same characters accompany us on continuing adventures along with a new generation. It's amazing!
I love the style of writing and the backdrops. The storyline keeps you engaged to where you don't want to put the book down. Honestly, that's my only complaint...they are so good, I stop everything and read them too fast!
Some new worlds are introduced, but we also get to go home to the original locations. This empire is almost as amazing as the characters, which are very well developed! Now, to wait until next year. Keep writing, Amber!

This first book in the new arc pulled me in and kept me rapt till the end. It is a fast paced adventure filled with mystery, creatures, new worlds to explore, friendship and family. Amber L Werner is a talented storyteller that has weaved a vivid world and compelling well fleshed out characters that evoke strong emotions as you read.
Though I haven’t read the Palisade Trilogy I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and realized I have missed reading a great series, a fact I’ll be rectifying while I wait for the next book in this series.
TW: there are a few scenes that depict animal suffering that pulled at my heartstrings (I love animals).

***ARC Reader***
I would give this story 3.5 stars, but rounded up due to no half stars on goodreads.
I will start off by saying I have not read any other books in the palaside series and because of that I definitely felt like I was missing out on some things.
The book also took a while to catch my interest, but once it caught it I found it a very enjoyable read.
The relationships the author is able to weave definitely kept me reading chapter after chapter.
I was left with so many questions and definitely will have to read the next book when it comes out! (Plus maybe read the previous books as well :P)
