Let me first say I went into the book hating the FMC from the previous book. Korine was irredeemable in my mind.
I was wrong.
The author had me laughing crying and when I got to the cliffhanger ending I gasp!
Korine, after years of sacrificing herself for her sister, finally gets to love her happily ever after, after every unimaginable thing she went through in the previous books. You want to hate her but the author does a damn good job of making you feel all the emotions she goes through. I’m already dying for the next one but don’t want this series to end!

This was mostly about the sisters healing than about the lead. The writer has a way to drag the story without building my anxiety to skip to the last chapter. Now looking forward to the last and final chapter.

F/F couple
Magic
Trauma
Friends to lovers
So to start with this book switches to a different main character. The first two books were about Araiya but this book focuses on Korrine. It was a slight surprise because I felt that the last chapter is Chained was a slight cliffhanger so thought Araiya would have more to her story in book 3.
All in all it was a good book. Warning to definitely check your triggers before reading because this book definitely deals with some dark stuff. I enjoyed the growth that you get to see in Korrine but honestly hated every adult that has ever been in her life. I know that Araiya was ‘meant for great things’ but they essentially sacrificed Korrine to deal with all the trauma and dark stuff to save Araiya from dealing with it.
I loved the sibling relationship that grows between her and Roky. It is so sweet and good for both of them. All in all it was a good story and I cannot wait to see what book 4 has in store.

THIS SAGA 💜💜💜💜💜
🔥🔥Charred is AMAZING
I HAVE NEVER PREORDERED A BOOK IN MY LIFE UNTIL CHARRED!
If you are contemplating reading this series, I’m here to tell you that IT IS WORTH IT!!
I have no idea how she did it, and I swore I would never switch over to the “I like Kora” train, but here I am! COMPLETELY SWITCHING OVER! I have no idea how the author has not only managed to write such a fantastic and well written story, but has somehow also managed to take a character that, let’s face it, no one liked, and make her not only relatable, but make us love her as much as we love Araiya!
Charred has a lot of answers to the questions that we have all had. It is a story of sacrifice, and growth. The character development is some of the best that I have ever read. This book will make you laugh, and break your heart!! GO READ!!

This book dives right into why Alicia has her trigger warnings in every book.
I am not a Korine fan but this book has made me respect her. I don't have to like her.
We learn more of Ember's journey as well. A lot happened, the war has advanced. Araiya learns a new truth of her life.
I had tears, goosebumps, and even shock and anger and I can not wait to read book 4. I need answers after that cliffhanger!
Amazing book 3! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WHAT!
This book leaves a lot of twists and turns and what is going on (in a good way!).. Mostly, it's Corine's side of the war prep, but also her healing from books 1&2. It's not my favorite of the series, but still a good story.
Leaves you on a massive, what just happened, cliffhanger. 😭

Absolutely loved it! The trigger warnings in the beginning are absolutely there for a reason, so you have been warned. I went into this series out of order (starting with this book, which is book 3 in the series) and I STILL enjoyed it. Would and do recommend. Can't wait for book 4!

This book we focuses on korine and her journey becoming a chosen. We get to see her grow and overcome her fears. We also learn new twists in the battle to come and a new secret at the end which leaves the book on an evil cliffie. I can't wait for book 4

holy moly plot twist
How can you end a book on that kind of plot twist!? That was just cruel! Lol this book differs from the previous two as it was told from Korine’s point of view. This is FF romance between Korine and her mate.

I jumped into this book without realizing it was a series. Now I need to start the series! Great story line!

the series keeps getting better
LGBTQ+ and trauma representations. This book follows Korine, the sister from the first two books. There are shared secrets and many more questions.

wow
Another good story. This whole series so far has been action packed and sad in places! I can’t wait to read the last book and see how this story ends!
