Fulfilling Fate
The thrilling conclusion to the Fate Unraveled Trilogy!
The Wild Rider. The Man Eater. The Mad General.
Avyanna is forcing down roots, claiming Leeds as her home. Rafe gave up his life in the military for her—for love. Settling in a village where he is a commoner and not the commanding officer comes with growing pains.
Love might be enough for them, but it’s not enough to keep the Shadows at bay.
When Northwing is threatened—when the Shadows march against her friends, can she be happy with the peace she bought with her blood? How long until they march to Leeds, and her little home is under attack?
Tizmet—the Man Eater—is laying. Soon, Regent will not be the only kingdom with dragons…
But what if they’re already hatching somewhere else?
Rumors are spreading. Kingdoms are crumbling. The Shadows are closing in. Will Avyanna choose to lay down her spear—or will she risk everything for her friends?

3.5 stars. I was really looking forward to the final instalment of this trilogy as I absolutely loved the first two however I was left wanting with this one. I loved the relationship growth between Vy and Rafe and the home they built together with their friends but I was a bit disappointed at the lack of action throughout the book. I’m a bit confused at the lack of story after Rafe gave his power to Vy at the end of the book. Im sorry to say I feel that there could have been so much more done with this book.

M.A. Frick never fails me. This book was just as good as the others in the series. I am literally obsessed with Avyanna and Rafe. I am not even sure how this series hasn't gone viral! I absolutely loved every moment of it. It had me on the edge of my seat so many times!! Tizmet will literally always have a special place in my heart. She's so wild, free and honest... but truly does care for Avyanna so much. It was a beautiful thing to see. The ending was truly so much all at once... so many emotions. I'm glad I read the epilogue afterwards!! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world M.A. Frick! Such beautiful writing and wonderful story that keeps you hooked from the beginning!

I am so sad this series is over. I miss Vy and Rafe already.
ARC Review ❤️ Fulfilling Fate is the end of the trilogy, and oof, it went out with a bang. But it took some time to get there. Based on the blurb, I was expecting a chunk of the book to be about their time in Leeds, but for it to mainly be about returning to Northwing for war, but a large majority of the book was their life in Leeds. This isn't quite a complaint for me though, and here's why.
I really loved the Leeds part of the story, as it felt like Rafe and Vy's HEA, which I wanted to see so bad after the last two books (which was a span of several years). They needed and deserved that. I was also extremely happy that they were united very early in the book, almost immediately. They were finally able to just be together, with many of their closest friends, and build their life.
But, this part went on for a long time, and at some point I wasn't able to enjoy it as much, because I was waiting for the shoe to drop. For them to find out about Northwing. This happened over halfway through the book, and they didn't leave Leeds for several more chapters.
Then, the war with the shadows ended the book. It was intense, and happened SO fast. I had to reread several parts because so much was happening, and in so few chapters. I wanted more, because I'm left a bit confused on how exactly that ending came about, although I can't say much without spoilers.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. I adore Rafe and Vy, and all the side characters both old and new (except Luther, iykyk), and it was amazing being immersed in their world again. I would have enjoyed more of Kila (and her man), but maybe in future spin off books?!
And Tizmet. Who doesn't love a sassy dragon? I cracked up when Tizmet was mad at Rafe (one of many times, but he did threaten to remove her head) and she tasted him and said,
"Salty. Pre-seasoned." It was during a very tense, emotional moment, but I laughed hard anyway. Sweet Tiz always threatening to eat her Rider's mate. 😂
Lastly, I'm just gonna leave this quote here, said by Rafe, a man of very few words, which makes it all the more special.
"We don't look back and wish for better things. Our choices dictate our future, and we will walk the path we made with our heads held high. We don't let the 'what-ifs' weigh on our shoulders and pull us down. We can only move forward. Remember that, Vy. You're not a Dragon Rider. You're not a little woman to be tucked away in a cottage. You are Avyanna of Gareth, and you will face your fate, staring it straight in the eyes."

The series was an amazing trilogy, but it seems that this last book was both very slow and then all of a sudden fast. The last few chapters felt rushed and didn’t feel like a complete ending. The beginning was great at showing Avyannas life after banishment but then it became so repetitive and a bit numbing, then we have luther bothering her and then not, then rafe finally comes around and it just feels so anticlimactic!! Rafe needed better development in this book rather than that docile ish husband he portrayed. We spent all that time in leeds and building a home and such, oh look we’ve been pardoned, oh look now theres issues with luther and Tizmet eats him (good riddance) overall that enemy arc didnt give much to the storyline like previous ones did. We leave leeds and go into war and then the entire portion of the war and battle is rushed and filled with repetitive scenes, then the important parts are set and done instantly with not much detail, it all became jumbled and confusing, Vy gives into her powers and dies and then Rafe pushes darkness to her and also dies and then theyre just alive!? No explanation of how and why. No further detail on the aftermath of the war, who died and who got injured severely, Darrak was bitten and more hunters were jumping on him, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER TO EVERYONE ELSE then We just suddenly jump years from the end of the battle to a new hatching day and thats that? What about Vy’s seizures and how the hell did Rafe still have powers!?! Why wasnt it mentioned before and why did he keep it from Vy? Did they ever grow a family of their own? Are their friends still alive? Where did they settle? What happened to Tizmets hatchlings after they left leeds? All unanswered questions and not in a good way where you can wonder and make up your own story. All of this just felt like things being pulled out of a rabbit hat to fill space and close the story out. I loved book 1 & 2. So disappointed with this one unfortunately. I know that her writing can definitely improve and future books will be amazing!

This trilogy is so good!! I love that this book read so much into Vy's story after banishment. Tizmets hatchlings was another part of the story I really enjoyed I wish they showed more with them bonding to the people in Leeds. My favorite part was the final fight with Luther 😂.
I was a little disappointed with the conclusion to the slow burn. She built it up sooooo much over two books to give us nothing 😩. The spice warning in the beginning had my hopes up. I think the warning could be taken out because it gives a false representation of what is actually in the book.
The ending also disappointed me a bit because it ended with such a big event and no details. I feel as though that part should have happened sooner in the book so it could have concluded with explaining what he did and how he did it. Less of a cliffhanger to end the trilogy and more of a happy ending.
With that being said I still loved the story and would recommend it to anyone!!
Thank you to the author for allowing me to be an ARC reader for this story! 💕

This book is EVERYTHING! What a great way to wrap up a trilogy. I absolutely fell in love with the characters, their stories, and this world they live in.
This book elicited ALL the emotions - I was elated, pissed, happy again, possed again, nervous, thrilled and devastated. This book made me actually cry and feel all the feels. I’ll be reading this book, and the whole trilogy, over again at least once.
Make sure you read alllllllllll the way to the end, including the epilogue.. everything.
I truly can’t say enough good things about this one. I loved how it was wrapped up and this author very quickly became one of my must read authors!
Absolutely five stars and wish I had more to give! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 STARS. The first two books of the series were a hard four stars for me. Frick did some amazing things in those two books. I was thrilled to be on the ARC team for this one. I wanted to give four stars so badly. I just needed something a little different. I felt like their time in Leeds though extremely special, dragged through too much of the book, while other parts (Rafes journey back to her, the final battle, the aftermath of the battle) were very rushed. The battle didn’t begin until almost the 85% mark and then was over in a flash. Then the saving of Vy at the end felt like it needed more explanation (will there be a consequence for Rafe saving her?). This series was 100% worth the read! In my top five series. And I look forward to reading more from the author.

ARC REVIEW!
This book was an incredible conclusion to the trilogy! The character growth for Tizmet and Rafe was amazing to read, along with some change in scenery 😝 Tizmet developed into my favorite character and I especially loved her dry sense of humor. Rafe’s ability to show his feelings for Vy was so sweet to read through! There was definitely some tears shed throughout (I won’t say where!), so I can say that I got attached to these characters and the character growth throughout the series as a whole. M.A. Frick is definitely on my radar now and will be an auto-buy author for the future 💕

It has been a joy to ARC read both Following and Fulfilling Fate. I loved this series. The character development was on par. The story flowed so well. It makes you fall in love with all the characters. The love story between Avyanna and Rafe was just perfect. I love a good grumpy man falling in love story. My only critique of this book would be the ending. I felt it was a little abrupt. There was a lot of build up and then it felt cut off a little quick. But overall this was a fantastic series. I would highly recommend it.

My review…
Fulfilling fate
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Avyanna and Rafes journey continues in this third book in the series, their love as intense and fierce as always.
Vy’s compassion for her friends and other dragons was absolutely endearing to read.
Tizmet grew so much as a character and I couldn’t love her anymore, especially her beautiful relationship with Avyanna.
I can’t explain how excited I was for this book to be completed and what can I say!
I loved the new characters and the how much more previous characters were involved especially the twins.
I wished Rafe didn’t come back as soon as he did and details of their struggle through the sands would have been a gripping experience.
The action was a little lacking for me but that ending topped it off amazingly.
The emotional rollercoaster I was dragged onto was one hell of a ride, I think my heart stopped along with everyone else’s in that final battle.
I am devastated that this is the end of Avyanna and Rafes story I could have continued to read about them for so many more books but alas the end is inevitable, I’m just glad there was a happy ending.

I felt that the book lacked the chemistry/tension and action that I loved in the first two books. But HOLY COW, that ending! Leave it to M.A. Frick to really do a number on your emotions. I was crying with grief one minute, tears of joy the next. I did think that the ending felt jumbled, rushed, and maybe even a little confusing, so I can’t quite give it the 5-star review I gave the first two. I’m sad this trilogy is ending but excited to see what’s up the author’s sleeve.

This book is insane. This whole series is top tier amazing.
Between the slowest of slow burns, the amazing plot and the character development, I could not put this book series down.
Not only is this series amazing but the author, M.A. Frick, is such a kind and genuine person who has created such an amazing masterpiece of a book series.
I highly recommend this series if you're into dragons, slow burns, grumpy/sunshine, and age gap romance 🤭

The third book didn’t disappoint!!! She sure kept my emotions up and down in this one. What a great story and such attention to details made all the difference. I absolutely loved the trilogy.

This book was 3.5 ⭐️ for me
The series as a whole was 4 ⭐️
“I love you.”
“Still?”
“Always.”
The end of a series is always so emotional. Especially when it’s a good one! While I did thoroughly enjoy this series, Fulfilling was a little on the slower pace for me, followed by the last 15% being jam packed with action. Now, the slowness is necessary to the plot to convey how simple life has become for our main characters. I wish that the first maybe 30% of the book had the slow pace followed by maybe a time jump to where action picks up. However, the slow pace was more so the first 70% of the book. Which is why it took me 8 days to finish. I also wish that with so much angst that had built up between our MMC and FMC over the course of book 1 and 2 it had culminated into a spicier union, rather than fade to black. However, that is just personal preference and the author may not be comfortable nor want to engage in spicier content which I completely understand.
For me, the best part about this book was Tizmets sass:
“When did we apologize?! Did you apologize?!” 😆
The relationship growth between Tizmet and Vy was great! And the bond they had over the hatchlings was beautiful! I loved that the tennan were present for hatching as well. And that despite the hatchlings being wild, they still were friendly with the tennan, sensing their good hearts I’m sure. But the ultimate outcome of the hatchlings was heartbreaking! My gosh! Can Tizzy catch a break?! 💔
Despite Avyanna having come into her bada** role at the end of book 2, and being skilled with a spear and crossbow…she seemed very passive and weak in Leeds. She retreated back to her demeanor of book 1 which was disappointing. Particularly when dealing with Luther’s men. After his attack on their cottage, the continued argument of “we can’t kill him because bigger, badder people will take his place” was frustrating. Old Rafe would have just done it. In the end, Tizmet did what was necessary and the town was, I assume, no worse off without Luther. (Maybe in spin off books we will see…maybe a Kila spin off?)
I will say the last 15% did have me invested! Although, I am confused on the outcome of Willhelm due to the below line:
“Willhelm never made it to Avyanna. Hunters cut through his path, and he drew his sword to meet them. He fought hard, but with only one leg he was no match for the black patched-together creatures fueled by sick, twisted magic. He fell beneath the mass, the soldiers of Regent joining him…”
The wording of that made me think he was killed….Yet, he was clearly alive in the epilogue…? I think if he had died the ending would have been more impactful to me, seeing as not a single main or supporting character died despite the fact that Avyanna and Rafe are the only ones deemed strong and knowledgeable enough to go behind enemy lines. Even Ruveel didn’t have the strength or courage to. I think all of the characters surviving detracted from the fear/strength of the Shadows. But, it also saved me some heartache.
I was also a bit perplexed by the abrupt ending after Rafe appears to either give Vy his magic, or he just uses his, to, I assume, save her? How did that work? There wasn’t really any detail in that scene and then it cut to what quickly happened with the other characters in the battle from, what appears to be a Kings accounting of the battle, followed by the sudden epilogue.
All in all, I enjoyed the series and definitely will recommend. This particular book just fell a slightly flat for me.

This is an incredible conclusion to the Fate Unraveled trilogy, delivering all the emotional weight, raw intensity, and intricate character development that I have come to love in this series. This is a finale that doesn’t just tie up loose ends—it sears them into your heart.
I do NOT usually like age gap romances (minus the ones that I can ignore such as vampire and fae because it is such a big number that it means nothing to my brain). The age gap romance between Avyanna and Rafe is handled with SUCH care and respect, sidestepping the usual power imbalance pitfalls by ensuring both characters stand on equal footing and that Vy has time to grow up. The romance is beautifully slow-burn and has my whole heart, but what really sets this apart is the equal importance placed on the bond between dragon and rider. Tizmet is just as vital - if not MORE - to Avyanna’s story as Rafe, making this a refreshingly multifaceted tale of love, loyalty, and partnership.
This book doesn’t shy away from darkness or heartbreak—it’s raw, unflinching, and at times, devastating. You’ll feel every ounce of Avyanna’s struggle, from her fierce determination to protect herself and her dragon to the bittersweet realities of choosing between personal peace and duty to others. The stakes feel real, the tears come freely, and the payoff is worth every agonizing moment. I have chills just thinking about it.
This series is leagues above most dragon rider books in the genre. The world-building is rich, the dragon lore is thoughtful and compelling, and the characters feel incredibly genuine. The growth Avyanna undergoes from book one to this finale is nothing short of remarkable.
This trilogy is a triumph that will leave you wrecked in the best way. A must-read for fans of dark, emotionally charged fantasy.

I was lucky to get a digital arc copy of this book!
Some spoilers at the end of the review so read with caution!!!
I loved Rafe and Vy's time together during Leeds. It felt like a natural course for a relationship and that they finally got to spend some normal time together actually being in a couple. They did have some ups and downs dealing with some 'haters' in the community, and of course Rafe was always protective of Vy even though Vy can totally handle her own.
I would've loved to have more detail of Vy's journey through the sands to Leeds at the beginning of the book, but I also know that there is more detail later in the book that does make up for it (and perhaps would've been repetitive if it had been given at the beginning as well). In general, I think there could have been more action throughout the entire book. It seemed to be more concentrated toward the end, and then it was over just in a blink of an eye.
Also, I felt like Vy became more of a wifey/homemaker in this book, which was sad because she became such a badass in book 1 and 2! She trained so hard in book 1 to join the ranks, and then she worked so hard to defeat the Shadows with Tizmet and the gang in book 2. But then here she's growing flowers and building a home with Rafe. However, if I take a step back from what I personally want for Vy, I recall that all she ever wanted to settle down with a partner and have somewhere to call home. And she found that with Rafe. So, as far as the story goes, it does make sense. They found that little cabin and they made it their home... for like a second. Until they had to go save the day again.
Like I said, the action doesn't really get going until 2/3 through the book and it feels like it's over right as it's begun, but I guess it can't be drawn out too much either. SPOILERS COMING!!!
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
STOP READING WHY ARE YOU STILL READING YOU'RE NOT STILL READING PLEASE WHY ARE YOU STILL READING IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK YET
THIS IS THE LAST WARNING
I will also say I'm a little confused at the ending, with the passing of Rafe's power/magic to Vy?
I still loved this series so much and I can't wait to see what else M.A. Frick cooks up!!!

They did have some ups and downs dealing with some 'haters' in the community, and of course Rafe was always protective of Vy even though Vy can totally handle her own.
I would've loved to have more detail of Vy's journey through the sands to Leeds at the beginning of the book, but I also know that there is more detail later in the book that does make up for it (and perhaps would've been repetitive if it had been given at the beginning as well). In general, I think there could have been more action throughout the entire book. It seemed to be more concentrated toward the end, and then it was over just in a blink of an eye.
Also, I felt like Vy became more of a wifey/homemaker in this book, which was sad because she became such a badass in book 1 and 2! She trained so hard in book 1 to join the ranks, and then she worked so hard to defeat the Shadows with Tizmet and the gang in book 2. But then here she's growing flowers and building a home with Rafe. However, if I take a step back from what I personally want for Vy, I recall that all she ever wanted to settle down with a partner and have somewhere to call home. And she found that with Rafe. So, as far as the story goes, it does make sense. They found that little cabin and they made it their home... for like a second. Until they had to go save the day again.
Like I said, the action doesn't really get going until 2/3 through the book and it feels like it's over right as it's begun, but I guess it can't be drawn out too much either. SPOILERS COMING!!!
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT
STOP READING WHY ARE YOU STILL READING YOU'RE NOT STILL READING PLEASE WHY ARE YOU STILL READING IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK YET
THIS IS THE LAST WARNING
I will also say I'm a little confused at the ending, with the passing of Rafe's power/magic to Vy?
I still loved this series so much and I can't wait to see what else M.A. Frick cooks up!!!

I finished this book last week and just sat with it until now so I could give a well-rounded review. Let’s just say that I finished 11 days ago and I’m still in the middle of one of the biggest book hangovers I’ve ever had. I’ve read two entire books since and part of another and my brain is still back in Rinmoth. I’m so sad that the series is over, but the author has hinted to writing books with side characters so we may yet see Avyanna and Rafe and Tizmet again.
My only con came at the very end. There was just so much build up towards a massive battle and while it was an epic battle, after it was over, so was the book. Things weren’t left unresolved - there just needed to be a bit more of a cooldown period afterwards and that was lacking in my opinion. The author has said that she doesn’t like long drawn-out conclusions and that’s why she did it that way. But she’s also said she’s taking all of the reviews to heart in order to improve her future works. This was still a five-star read for me regardless and I’m rating it as such.
I could say so much more about this book but I’m endeavoring to stay spoiler free with this one. If you pick it up, expect love, humor, heartache, action, the whole works. It’s such a good book and a fitting conclusion to an epic story. MA Frick has become an auto-buy author for me with her very first published work. Can’t wait to see where she goes from here!

What an incredible series! This book was a great conclusion to an even better trilogy. M.A. Frick, you deserve your flowers!
I just adored Avyanna and Tizmet. They were such a fun pair. The bond between them, the obstacles they face… so well done! And oh Rafe! I have never wanted a couple to be together and happy as bad as those two.
The final battle scene was well done. The fight made sense—you as the reader cared for the cause and wanted to see them succeed. And the minor characters that we have come to know and adore over the series made the stakes that much higher. I was actively wanting to NOT read the end of this book because I couldn’t handle any of them not making it.
Took off a star because the ending felt a tad rushed. A battle that had been built up for like a thousand pages needed a bit more time in my opinion. And I would have liked a longer epilogue!
Seriously—read these books!

I’ve read this series from the beginning. I fell in love with the first book got to beta read the second and I’m blessed to arc read the last. I’m so sad to say goodbye to this series. Fulfilling fate was without a doubt a book that made you smile and laugh and cry and scream just all the emotions. You can’t help but to support and root for the characters and hope everything works out in the end, but much like real life that doesn’t always happen. I got so invested into these characters because they are so well written. Rafe and Vys relationship was so slow burn yet so much tension and love and you can really tell they understand and love each other. They never wavered in their loyalty to each other. Vy has shown soo much growth throughout the series. From being a dragonless chosen to being chosen by a wild dragon to forming a bond with tizmet to loving tizmet. With this series you not only form connections with the main characters but also the side characters and you want to hear their stories as well. The found family trope in this book is so lovely and genuine. I just can’t express enough how much this series meant to me. It was a wild ride with lots of ups and downs but Vy and Rafe are finally happy and tizmet is content and that���s really all I could ask for. I will say the ending was quite fast once the final battle was done. I would have liked one more chapter on the battlefield after what Rafe did either from his POV or Vy’s.
But we did get an epilogue so it made up for that :) All in all this book and series was a 5/5.

4⭐️ 1🌶️
“Remember that, Vy. You’re not a Dragon Rider. You’re not a little woman to be tucked away in a cottage. You are Avyanna of Gareth, and you will face your fate, staring it straight in the eyes.”
This is the third book in the Fate Unraveled trilogy. If you haven’t read the first two, do that and come back.
This book was a rollercoaster for me. So many emotions, so many thoughts and feelings, so much love. I truly adore the writing style and how the author made it so easy to relate to the characters. Tizmet’s thoughts cracked me up, the grumpy x sunshine feel between Rafe and Vy was to die for, and the supporting characters hold a special place in my heart as well. The story was wonderful from start to finish and I’m so sad it’s over.
My only complaints are that the chapters could have been shorter, and I wish there was less “world building” in the beginning so we could have more detail about what happens in the end. Overall I highly recommend this trilogy, especially to new fantasy readers. I had an absolute blast reading this book and can’t wait to read more from M.A Frick!

It here…the last adventure we are going to read about Avyanna.
Most of this book is her time in Leeds-which was entertaining to read and had its moments of excitement, I was just anticipating more about the war with the Shadows. Especially since when we did finally get to said war, I couldn’t put the book down.
Her time in Leeds…I did enjoy getting to see the more quiet part of Avyanna and Rafes life together. Except for Luther, it was really nice. I was just anxious because…we have people back in Regent that need help, man.
The war with the Shadow…it was like a whirlwind of excitement. From the 85% mark on it was just non stop. Some parts were hard for me to read about-THE DRAGONS-but when we finally got to Regent I couldn’t put the book down.
I did absolutely LOVE Avyannas new friend Kila-please say you’re going to write a book about her next!
All in all it’s a great end to a fantastic trilogy that made me love its characters, its dragons and the world it was set in.

I truely can’t believe my time with Avyanna and Rafe is over 🥺🥺 She said “have tissues ready” and she was not lying. I shed soooo many tears throughout this book. It was the cherry on top ending the trilogy. There were definitely a few times I got mad and was like “what is happpppennninggg”, “just stay away and be happy”. But after finishing it, I think what happened was needed to help grow Avyanna as a person. I loved the closer insight into Tizmet in this books. I love her snarky dragon self. 🥰 This one was sooooo action packed from beginning to end.
I 100% recommend this trilogy if you’re in a Fourth Wing slump. While this is closed door and not 🌶️ like FW/IF - This trilogy definitely has the better POV with the dragons and human bonds.

This is the third and final book in the Fate Unraveled Trilogy.
If you love dragons, slow burn, grumpy/sunshine and age gap romance this series is for you!
I'm really sad to see the series end, but the growth Vy and Rafe both had in the series is really beautiful to see. Both went through some traumatic experiences and both deserved the happy ending they got.
Vy made a new life for herself and was starting to feel more at home in Leeds, but when Rafe finally showed up and helped her build the home of her dreams, I thought they got their happy ending, but that took a twist because the issue with the Shadows wasn't solved.
After being banished, she shouldn't have felt the need to help the kingdom, but her friends were still there and she knew they needed her help. So, after being pardoned, that's exactly what she did, she went there with her badass dragon and showed them how things are done.
Tizmet really showed how much she matured from being a Wildling to having her own mini dragons. I wish we would've spent more time with the little beasts and see how their story went. But hopefully we will get some novellas about the side characters who will possibly be bonding with them? 👀 👀
Feeling a bit sad because there were a lot of ways the book could've gone, I wished we went a bit more into detail of both their travels through the Sands and the ending could've been more delved into. It left me with a lot of questions. How did Rafe save Vy? What actually happened there? Or maybe that's how it was supposed to leave us, a bit hanging. 😅
That's the only reason for which I gave it 4 stars. I really wish I could've given it 5. 🙁🙁

Not your normal review as I can't give this book what it deserves because, well, spoilers.
Book 3 of the Fates Unraveled Trilogy is a fabulous book that left me wanting more. Being 100% honest, this is not my favorite book of the three, only because I need more. Does that mean I won't recommend this trilogy? Hell no! YOU MUST READ THIS!! Yes, I yelled at you, I know. Be prepared for laughter, tears, anger, confusion, and finally, Rafe and Avynna to claim each other. I need to know what happens after this book, and M.A Frick has said there is more to come for Rinmoth. Overall, despite my lack of excitement for the ending M.A Frick did amazing with this set, and I will continue to be one of her biggest supporters.

I did enjoy this series. It’s a little bit all over the place and sometimes hard to keep up with. You could tell the author loved the world and wanted to spend time everywhere.
But..
With all the gore. And specific details on how people are killed, maimed, tortured… I waited 3 books. 3 lonnng books….thinking it would be worth the wait…. For FADE TO BLACK? Where’s my detailed smut, damnit 😭
I texted my friend when I got there and literally said ‘ I waited 3 long books for the characters to f**k and it’s bloody fade to black!!’ And she told me to share that in my review for the smut lovers like me lol.

Fulfilling Fate is a stellar ending to a wonderful trilogy. I don't want to say too much, as I don't want to spoil any of the previous books, but if you are looking for a slow burn, both in relationships and plot (done right), than this one is for you. M.A. Frick is not afraid to take her time building up story, and for that, I am thankful. Allowing the reader the time to fall in love with the characters and understand their situations creates an incredible impact when uncontrollable forces begin to shake their world. It allows the reader to feel what the characters are feeling.
This is also a good option if you are looking for clean language and minimal spice. That is not to say this is a YA book. I would classify this as NA due to the themes covered. I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts in writing, so here is a list of what I loved about this book.
The MFC character development
The friendships <3
The wittiness
The dragon/rider relationship!!
Sacrificial love
Tough decisions
I could say so much more, but if you are looking for a good dragon/rider fantasy, this is the one.

Get reading this series now! Fans of Fourth Wing and Eragon will fall in love with M A Frick’s glorious books!
Wow, what a bittersweet ending to an amazing series! I highly recommend reading this wonderfully written trilogy fraught with emotions, growth and so many different kinds of beautiful love!
I am so emotional from the rollercoaster of emotions these books have taken me on. What the Frick! I love how the ending is left fairly open for future stories to take place in Regent. I’m a bit sad we don’t know the ending for everyone, but feel like this was a fantastic way to leave the story open for future adventures. Absolute Crack! for the Riders/Readers! 😉

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review. *
When I started this book, it felt like it was going slower than the other 2. But by the end, I had to give it 5 stars because it did pick up speed and the ending crushed me and sewed me back together again. I can’t believe this is the end of Ayanna and Rafe’s journey. It was one hell of a ride.

I can't give this series enough stars!
I feel that these characters were a rare gem that I was completely invested in their development.
This has all the feels and angst wrapped up nicely and it's been such a long time that I got choked up and felt 100% devastated.
The only thing I wished at the ending was a bit more...
I will miss these characters, but I can't wait to see what else this author has in store for the future.
