I received this as an ARC. ARC team review:
Wow. WOW. Sitting here post read and I actually have no words. This series has left me utterly speechless. Fast paced, beautifully written. I’m OBSESSED. Honestly I couldn’t put it down. A five ⭐️ read. This series should 100% be on your TBR. Fast paced. Banter. Enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers? I’m LIVING for this book. I’m so incredibly sad that I now have to wait for book three to know the fates of the characters I’ve fallen for in the last two days. I NEED to know how it ends.. Honestly not sure how this series hasn’t gone viral yet. Savannah, girl. Well. Done. I’m going to be obsessing over this ending for the next week. Beautifully done.. seriously. Read this series

Rise of the Autumn Queen has everything I love about Romantasy books. Banter, found family, and a badass FMC on an epic quest? Yes, please!! I felt all of the emotions while reading this book. I’m scared of what’s going to happen in the third and final book of the series, but I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

I binged this book!
Rise Of The Autumn Queen picked up right where book 1 left off!!
This was an emotional roller coster ride, we have drama ,battles, kingdom politics and messy relationships 🤌🏼 We learn new information and introduced to some new characters ( one which made my jaw drop 😅 ). The more i get to know these characters and their backround i fall more in love with them!
Will Auri be able to strong enough to survive the trails? THE ENDING WAS BRUTAL, and currently crying because i have to wait for the next one!!
One of my new favorite Romatasy series!

This book picked up right where the last one left off, and holy moly I was not disappointed. There were so many twists and turns that I did NOT see coming. I don’t want to leave any spoilers bc they were HUGE twists and I want to know if anyone else picks up on the things I missed the first time around. Nothing about this series was predictable and I adore that so much in the fantasy realm. This was an ARC read for me but I’ll be sure to keep reading from this author and this series

Where do I even begin?!?!
I am so happy that Rise of the Autumn Queen picked up where Heir of the Autumn Queen left off. This book truly held my attention throughout. Continuing on her quest to bring her aunt to justice, Aurelia has so many decisions to make that don't just affect herself, but also her family alongside her.
As Auri delved deeper into her journey through the Kingdoms she met some new characters, discovered more and more secrets and information, ran into life threatening battles more than once, and went on a treacherous rescue mission. The pacing of this book was pretty fast making me turn the page with ferocity, but I did feel like some events could have been looked into deeper with the emotional impact it had on the characters.
I was happy to see some familiar faces from book one, especially Rowan, as he is my favorite loyal and funny wolf-shifter. (Savannah please don't break our hearts, we must protect him at all costs)
The dynamic between the fmc and the two mmc remains so dramatically messy in the best way. Poor Shepard is head over heels and Finn (still sizzling and arrogant as ever) is getting the hot and cold versions of Auri. It is frustrating to see when her mind is being twisting by her feelings because you want her to hold strong but feelings are a powerful thing, and sometimes the heart over rules the mind. I am glad Auri has enough sense to see that the two males are somewhat immature ("They're both significantly older than me, and yet, when it comes to their never-ending pissing contest, they seem to possess and much maturity as prepubescent boys.'), especially when it comes to her, but both have redeeming qualities! The tension and conflicts between Auri and Finn has me on edge every time they are together and I can't wait to see how their connection plays out.
It is intriguing to watch Auri grow into her power (especially with the questionable dark motives her powers project on to her), she still has a lot to learn with what she can do and what it takes to be a leader. We are left on a cliffhanger and I can not wait until the third book in this series to see how the characters and the rest of the story develops. It has been a whirlwind of a journey so far and I am not ready for it to end, but I am excited nonetheless. Savannah has done an excellent job at writing this story, keeping the reader's attention and leave them wanting more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5)
I HAVE NO WORDS. 😭🔥 This book had me in a CHOKEHOLD from start to finish. The suspense?? The tension?? The way I was fully invested in Aurelia, her twin, and Rowan’s brotherly energy?? PERFECTION. 💀❤️🩹 I loved how the sibling bond was portrayed—it wasn’t the typical jealous twin dynamic, but something real and heartfelt. And let’s talk about the broody shadow guy who smirks (yeah, you know exactly who I’m talking about) 😏🖤—OBSESSED.
Finn… I don’t even know what to do with him. 🤡 Shepherd?? Sir, please give Aurelia a BREAK. 😭
Now, let’s talk about the ending. The suspense was amazing, the tension was there, and I was hanging onto every single word—but then, it just stopped. And no, not in a good “I need the next book ASAP” way. It felt rushed, like the ending was forced instead of earned. I kept waiting for that final emotional gut-punch, but instead, it was like hitting a wall. If the pacing had been adjusted a bit, with sharper, more tension-filled sentences, I feel like the impact would’ve landed so much better.
That said, this book was still SO GOOD and I loved every second of it. The journey has been a whirlwind, and I’m NOT ready for it to end, but I am excited to see where the story takes us next. Savannah has done such an amazing job keeping the suspense alive, and the characters—Aurelia, her twin, Rowan (protect him at all costs PLEASE 😭) and the broody shadow guy who smirks—have my whole heart.
I got the eARC, all thoughts are my own 🩵

1.5🌶️ (toned back this book)
Another short, fast-paced book for this series. The ending of book 1 took me by surprise, but it’s the beginning of book 2 where we dive more into that, figuring out the whole story. It was an interesting development I didn’t expect.
The continuation of my favorite trope: found family ❤️ I love Auri and her little wolf pack!! Once again, Rowan steals my heart! He’s just so perfect and loyal.
If there’s one thing I didn’t like as much this book, is while the separation between Auri and Finn makes sense to the plot, they spent way more of the book apart than I expected and I just missed having their scenes together, with their witty banter.
We get more of the love triangle-not a love triangle with Auri, Finn, and Shep. I actually feel so much for Shep. Man is so in love with someone who doesn’t love him ☹️ I just want to cuddle with him. Auri did become a bit frustrating this book with the back and forth on her feelings, I’ll admit.
I loved the addition of Addie and Kit this book and the reemergence of Briar and Killian! Yay! Bring on a bigger group!
The spice 🌶️ took a step back this book. We had one scene and a couple dream scenes that didn’t really feel like connected as well as book 1 scenes did. I’m hoping book 3 we see it pick up a bit more!
I guessed one of the plot twists, which I was proud of, lol, but the very ending did kind of make me go “huh…didn’t see that coming.” So it’s a good mix of predictable and unpredictable.
Awaiting book 3!!!!

I received this book as an ARC, but thoughts are of my own.
Might contain spoilers.
FIRST OF ALL, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SEQUEL SINCE THE HEIR OF THE AUTUMN QUEEN SO UNDERSTAND HOW GOOD THIS IS. Now since the first reaction is out of my system let's get on with the review.✨
What I liked -
⚡The story fared quite well in terms of a sequel and I saw quite the progress in terms of plot development. There are a very few fantasy books which can keep the momentum of the prequels and this one excelled at the job
⚡ I was eager about Aurelia and what she can do but the author caught me off-guard by making the FMC, morally grey. Aurelia accepting the darkness in her makes her human. Makes her real and relatable.
⚡Rowan. Hands down my favourite character of this entire series. Savannah touch him and you will face my wrath. The man is sassy, cheeky and will put a smile on your face.
What could have been better
⚡ The bonding between Aurelia and Addie felt rushed. I wanted more of sister bonding before rushing into the entire save the day thing. It would have been more vulnerable.
⚡ I was starving for the scenes between Finn and Aurelia. Or just give them between Shep and Aurelia. I am Shep girl.
⚡Selena is finally introduced but I wanted her to bigger and better villian. I have high hopes from the lady please.
Conclusion: Fast paced, intriguing and a decent read. Read it for the plot development and Rowan.

ARC TEAM REVIEW ✨
- there may be some spoilers, especially if you’ve not read this book or the first book -
okay, first of all…THAT ENDING?! absolutely brutal. how am i supposed to wait for the next book now?! and we thought the ending of book one was bad…
as we continue to follow Aurelia’s journey with her family, there is, of course, drama, drama and more drama. there’s never a dull moment.
this book is certainly action packed - although there was times when i wanted more, almost like certain events were rushed over.
there’s a real lovers-to-enemies-vibes going on this book with Finn and Aurelia. they can’t quite decide which way to go but the banter is bantering.
and poor Shep, my heart hurts for him. i love the shifter pack with my whole heart and this book actually broke me a little for them. Rowan, obviously, remains my favourite character. his ability to brighten up everyone’s mood, his witty one-liners and his cheeky personality whilst simultaneously being the most loving, loyal character ever, make him just unbeatable.
honestly, a lot was unpacked in this book and i love how the storyline, and how the characters are evolving but sometimes i just need a bit more. overall, a fun, fast paced read. 4⭐️

Quote: “I will be the light that shines in the darkness.”
Review: My new favorite book!! The quest continues for Princess Aurelia as she fights for justice. Her path to justice leads her with new love ones and also new powers. Will she be able to keep everything she holds dear to her heart or lose it all. Holy cow, this book surpassed all my expectations. This book was made for the fantasy girlies. Rise of the Autumn Queen is intense, fastest pace, full of betrayals, heartbreak, newfound hope, growth, and challenges. We watch as Aurelia grows into this strong female character, who is faced with her inner demons and trying to find light within darkness. She searches for that perfect balance. Shocking information is revealed that makes the readers gasp and wonder how any of this happened and how this was unseen. We see the tipping of the scales in the fight to do good while evil lurks beneath. Readers will feel themselves being sucked in to the world of Iaselion, a world of pure fantasy and imagination. I couldn’t have imagined a better book to continue with the Autumn Queen trilogy. The story did not disappoint. It was everything a reader could have hope for.

I was so excited to receive an eARC of Rise of the Autumn Queen, the second installment in Savannah Stoltz’s the Autumn Queen Trilogy!! Continuing from Heir of the Autumn Queen, book 2 picks up from the prior cliffhanger and brings our FMC Auri into unexpected twists and challenges that test her every step. I loved seeing her discover and explore her magic more in this book and balancing her complicated relationships with her found family trying to keep everyone safe. I have such mixed feelings about Shep! 🤔 The MMC Finn remains as mysterious as ever and I’m still not sure if Auri can totally trust him, but I’m excited to hopefully see more of him as the series wraps up in book 3!
The story is filled with political intrigue, magical forces, and secrets that kept me guessing. It wraps up with another cliffhanger 😳 perfectly setting the stage for what’s to come as Auri finally faces her aunt challenging to bring her to justice.
Add this to your TBR if you enjoy found family, prophecies, witches and magic, betrayal, and fated mates!! 🖤🖤

Rise of the Autumn Queen by Savannah Stoltz ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Savannah Stoltz has done it again! This book was just so well done. I loved everything about it, from the story to the characters and the world in between. This was a great continuation of the first book Heir of the Autumn Queen. I remember reading the first one and NEEDING to read the second. Now that I have, I can say the wait was sooo worth it. Trouble continues to follow our FMC, Aurelia throughout her journey, I can only imagine what else she gets into in the conclusion of this series. Watching Aurelia grow into such a bad ass FMC has been so fun, and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for her. I found the pacing of this book very well done, it didn’t feel too fast or too slow. Things happened at what I felt like was a great pace. This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout a good chunk of it, and of course I cried my eyes out. I cannot give this book enough praise. Savannah, I really need book 3 thank you 😂

Soo good. Never a dull moment in the kingdoms. Book one left us with a surprise that picks right up in book two. They continue their travels after meeting more family. They have to be continuously on alert for dangers & to protect each other; they reunite with a couple people they rescued but lost one during the mission. I’m rooting for Finn & Auri to be together by the end of the next book since there’s something “more” to their relationship. Auri challenges her aunt for the throne but is told of an unexpected condition in order to compete… I guess we’ll find out if it’s true in the next book.

I just finished Rise of the Autumn Queen, the second book in Savannah Stolz’s The Autumn Queen Trilogy, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride! Right from where the first book ended, with that crazy cliffhanger, this sequel dives straight into the action. There are a ton of questions at the start, and while we don’t have all the answers, it's totally worth the ride.
Following Auri, Shep, Row, Finn, and some new allies, this book slowly peels back layers of secrets. Things are definitely not as they seem. You can feel the tension is rising, and it’s one of those books that’s hard to put down.
But here’s your warning—there’s a major gut punch around the 75% mark. I actually messaged Savannah right after reading it with an “OMG nooooo!” I’m still thinking about it. ❤️🩹
What I think makes this sequel stand out is how much we get to see of Auri’s internal struggles. We join Auri as she learns about the darkness in her powers and how complicated her relationships are with the people around her. Who can she trust and who will be there at the end? All the characters are growing in unexpected ways, and the stakes keep getting higher.
Rise of the Autumn Queen is such a great follow-up to the first book, and now I’m really excited to see how this trilogy ends. If you loved book one, you’ll love book 2, and if you haven’t started yet, seriously, dive in. Can’t wait to see what Savannah Stolz has in store next!

I really enjoyed this, everything gained momentum, the relationships, the plot and the tension between Auri and Finn. I love the dynamic between Auri and Rowan, its like comic relief. I could sense the writer growing in confidence from the last book aswell. I felt Shep was more of a nuisance to the story than anything else and I'm thrilled other characters have returned. The cliffhanger was chefs kiss. I'd love to see some chapters from Finns POV in the next book. I will for certain be continuing on.
March 27, 2025
Holy moly!!! That cliffhanger. I’m literally on the edge of my seat with anticipation!!! I couldn’t put this book down! It’s one of the best books I’ve read this year thus far. The plot the story line the bitting your nails off needing to know more. The tears! And FINN yes please!! It’s literally impossible to dislike him. And Prince with wings… <3. Morally gray and delish. Everything you think you know your kind will be blown with this second book. -Kerin

This book was SO good! The twists and turns in the story kept me guessing. I gasped at a couple different parts, and wanted to cry or rage at others. Savannah has created some amazing characters and I can’t wait to see how Aurelia’s journey concludes!

An amazing follow up book to Heir of the Autumn Queen and picked up right where we left off (that’s when you know it’s going to be a good book)
This one felt a bit more in-depth with the other characters and damn there was a lot of emotion in this one! From everyone!
This has one of the best true enemies to lovers vibe happening with Aurelia and Finn and poor old Shep, he tries his best and his heartbreak is just felt by you when you read this!
The ending was yet again not what we all expected but was fantastic and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Overall 5 star review and definitely read this!
This one felt a bit more in-depth with the other characters and damn there was a lot of emotion in this one! From everyone!
This has one of the best true enemies to lovers vibe happening with Aurelia and Finn and poor old Shep, he tries his best and his heartbreak is just felt by you when you read this!

Well written! But that ending! I really can't wait for book 3! The characters are beautiful done. The new ones introduced added even more depth. It also picked up where book 1 left off

I’ll read any fantasy book if it’s like this book. Omg was this book addicting.

Started a little slow, but the middle and end of book made it worth it!! Twists and turns and alluring characters. Can’t wait for book number 3!!!

Dove right into this after reading Heir of the Autumn Queen. This series has been consistently pulling me in with the banter, plot twists, magic and romance. Hopping to read the last of the trilogy

I forgot the crazy ending from the first book, so my jaw was on the floor just reading the prologue. The drama that was about to unfold. And man was there drama!
Even though Aurelia's heart and soul tells her that she loves Finn, she rational mind tells her she hates him for betraying her like that. And not just once, but twice!
I really wanted her to end up liking Shephard enough to be with him, but she couldn't see past her desire for a specific hot aengel. And that relationship ended up getting pretty muddy as the story unfolded.
So we now know that Aurelia has a twin, Addie. Just like their mother, who was actually killed by her twin. We hate the Autumn Queen for all she has done, but the ending has me thinking...was their other motif behind her murder of her twin?
Aurelia goes to challenge the Autumn Queen, but there is a competition she must partake in. One that is judged by the god's themselves. Is Aurelia willing to do whatever it takes? No matter the cost? I feel like the cost is too great.
Another ending that has me on my toes and not so patiently waiting for the third and final book in the trilogy. What is going to happen?!
Thank you to the author for giving me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. It was definitely a fun and easy read.
