Gryphon has 23 days to ensure that Zo, Joshua, and Tess are cared for before offering his life as a ransom to Chief Barnabas in exchange for the lives of his best friend and mess brothers. He doesn’t have the nerve to break Zo’s heart with the truth, and he spends his time inside the Allied Camp trying not to despise the very people he’s been raised to hate - the Wolves. But Gryphon is not the only one harboring secrets.
To spare her own life, Zo has made a blood oath promising to help the Kodiak Clan free their families living as Nameless slaves. When Gryphon learns the truth - that the peaceful life he’d planned for Zo is not secure - he commits himself to cooperate with the Allies and divulges a secret that will give the Allies the upper hand against the Ram. New alliances form as Wolf, Raven, and Kodiak combine forces in a final battle that will determine the fate of the entire region.
With my degree in History and Secondary Education, I had every intention of teaching teens to love George Washington and appreciate the finer points of ancient battle stratagem. (Seriously, I’m obsessed with ancient warfare. Weird? I know.) However, life had different plans in store when the writing began. As a proud member of Writers Cubed, and a co-founder of the Teen Author Boot Camp, I feel blessed to be able to fulfill both my ambition to work with teens as well as write Young Adult fiction.
I have three children who are experts at naming my characters, one loving, supportive husband, a dog with little-man syndrome, and three chickens (of whom I am secretly afraid).
This trilogy needs more recognition than it’s getting! I FREAKING LOVE this trilogy! Yes, it’s an absolute MUST OWN! I bet you’ve never heard of this author! I hadn’t either and I can’t remember how I came across the first book but I inhaled both first two books and had to sit and wait for the third. UGH! Then the publishers reached out to me to read this early and review it! I think I may have cried! lol So if you haven’t read this trilogy yet you absolutely MUST!
I loved how there were all these different tribes that were based on animals but had distinct traits and specialties. The Ram, The Wolf, The Raven, The Kodiac, The Bear I mean it’s freaking awesome!
So the book picks up right where you left off in Book 2 and the drama of it all is in full force! You’ve got Gryphon who is in the most vulnerable position of his life as he is completely clanless but involved with the Allied camp plus the coming deadline of life or death for him. He has little time and all he wants to do is spend it with Zo.
I LOOOOVE Gryphon and I LOOOOOVE Zo as characters as well as their romance. It’s wonderful and just sweet.
This last book was also just a perfect way to end. It didn’t feel like the book was ending for a long time which I appreciated. This wasn’t a necessarily just a wrap-up. The story continued and then worked its way out to an awesome ending.
Overall this trilogy is amazing and a complete MUST OWN. I WILL OWN THESE! I love them and would recommend them to anybody looking for an amazing story, writing, world-building, adventure. I can’t wait to see what more this author has up her sleeve!

Fearless is the conclusion to the Nameless series. It is not a standalone story; you need to read book One (Nameless) and Two (Clanless). The action, romance and twists stepped up a notch in this one. The author explores how 2 people from different walks of life can fit into a world that doesn't welcome their connection. The problem is that Gryphon's time is running out! He is a man of his word even if he has lost his honour. Meanwhile, someone is trying to frame Gryphon for crimes he did not commit. He needs to find a way to get the wolf clan to trust him, and find his place even if it's for a short time. His goal is to make sure Joshua his young apprentice is settling in and set up for a good quality life.
Zo has a blood oath to honour and has a duty to help save the Nameless. Gryphon hasn't been completely honest with her, and she isn't aware of their deadline. Fearless explores their ups and downs. Can a Ram really be trusted even if it's Gryphon? Zo has to learn to trust Gryphon all over again.
Can the clan's find peace? Can Zo and Gryphon find their happily ever after?
Fearless was probably my favourite of the 3 books, but I have enjoyed the whole series. There is the main story along with smaller side stories. The characters are well developed and have good motives for their actions. Both Zo and Gryphon have their own stories throughout the book as well as a story together. Highly recommended. 5 stars out of 5.
ARC received in exchange for a fair review as part of the chapter by chapter blog tour.
FEARLESS follows on from the previous two instalments NAMELESS and CLANLESS and is not a standalone.
I'm going to keep this as vague as possible, and yes, I'm aware this is a strange thing to write in a review, but I'm really concerned about not including any spoilers. I don't want to ruin any of the action or romance.
Oh the drama! We jump right back into the action with Zo and Gryph. Gryphon is facing a terrible fate and a rapidly decreasing decline. He's also not about to blab about whats going on if he can help it and as always keeps things pretty close to his chest. I wanted him to realise that he doesn't have to fix everything all the time and to know how much he means to Zo and the others.
Zo has her own problems with the big bad to defeat and a deal to keep. She's something of a reluctant leader who has found herself as a central figure in the revolution *ahem* war against the Ram. I kept chanting to myself "Don't be a pawn. Don't be a pawn!" as I really didn't want to see any more people using her.
Jennifer Jenkins always manages to keep the pace and tension so that I never felt bored. Although I have to admit there were a few moments when I was extremely concerned about what was going to happen next. The feels!
I'm a big fan of this series but was particularly nervous about reading FEARLESS because I wasn't sure where Jenkins was going to take the story - I'm still not over the Tris in Allegiant saga. I was desperate for my favs to make it through the final battle and for Zo and Gryphon to find their HEA. I'm going to leave it right there and finish my review by commenting on how much I've enjoyed the series particularly Jenkins's detailed world building, clans and the nameless alike.
4 - 4.5 Stars in my Sky!
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
A round of applause and a shot of champagne for the end of this trilogy. Jenkins went and dotted all her i's and crossed all her t's, ending the novel and trilogy brilliantly.
I really have no complaints.
Except holy moly, sometimes reading Gryphon and Zo's attraction/feelings for one another got overwhelming. Sometimes the love they had for each other made the air thicker and more suffocating. Especially, since they felt such a pressing need for each other.
But all in all, we finished the trilogy with a couple more twists, one of which I hit my forehead for, since I should have seen it coming a mile away.
This series was such a great gem to stumble upon. Fearless was definitely the best of the series, full of twists, action and suspense. It’s by no means a perfect series - but it entertained me from start to finish. I loved the main characters and I was completely caught off guard by one of the plot twists , that doesn’t happen much - but I enjoy it so much when it does, so kudos to the author for keeping me distracted from figuring it out! This series is totally underrated- if you’re looking for a book about rival clans, likable characters, self made families, clean romance, suspense and action that keeps you engaged the whole way through, I definitely recommend it!
Note: This review will contain slight spoilers for the Nameless series.
Wow, what a whirlwind this trilogy was! When I first picked up Nameless, I had no idea each book would leave me begging for more and that I would fall in love with its resilient characters, action-packed plot, and tremendous character growth. Jenkins is a great writer and catches readers up in this third book in no time. We’re preparing for war, though Zo and Gryphon both have secrets from the other that they’re waiting to reveal. Told from a limited third person POV between Zo and Gryphon , Fearless is an incredible ending to a YA fantasy series from an indie publisher that I recommend fantasy lovers to hurry and pick up!
This story starts off with Gryphon counting down the days until his pending execution. But during these twenty or so days, he must also prove himself to the Allies group - the clan members that are focused on winning against the Ram clan - and help train them. At the same time, Zo finds her healing magic “broken” in a way, although that doesn’t stop her from helping out. Gryphon was really character of the day throughout this book. He had such an inner battle raging against him as he tried to befriend people of various clans that he was taught to defeat while growing up. But despite all odds, his love for his family - Zo and Joshua - allow him to overcome that prejudice and learn to love the other clans for their differences.
“His entire life, Gryphon had been trained to think of everyone outside of the Gate as lesser. Human, yes, but only in the simplest, unimportant form. Zo had forced him to reconsider everything he’d ever believed to be true.”
I loved seeing the characters that accumulated over the course of two books come together and work for an end-goal. There’s the sagacious Sani and capricious and headstrong Raca from the Raven clan, the family-man Ikatou from the Kodiak clan, and Commander Laden heading the Allies - although his background remains a mystery no one has questioned. There’s a great overlaying message of the importance of family and love throughout this book that was awesome to see. Each Ally is fighting not just for survival, but for the future of their clans, families, and other loved ones. The battle scenes and the build-up towards the final war was really well-written as Jenkins keeps readers in suspense in an agonizing way that makes the climax even more worth reading. I loved the small details and customs that Jenkins writes to create distinctions from each clan, and seeing these traditions come together as the clans are essentially united. It really spoke of a group with unity and values, which is essential when going forward to war.
The book is not perfect, however. Although I thought the build-up towards the climax and many side plot lines were written really well, there are some things that don’t really get explored as much before getting resolved. It’s a big question of “why was this necessary” since the resolution is either anticlimactic or irrelevant in the story. The next one isn’t a complaint but moreso an observation of how integrated traditional gender roles are in this story. The women and children are always put as important and thus protected in the battle with the men fighting at the frontlines. The only exception to that is mostly the main characters at the forefront of the battle and strategy. I’m on the whole ambivalent about this, but it’s so pronounced throughout the story that I couldn’t help but notice.
Gryphon and Zo’s romance remain ship of my heart, just like it was in the previous books when they were still falling in love. They are both fiercely in love with the other, and that extends towards each other’s immediate family as well (mainly Tess and Joshua). While it’s true there are secrets withheld from one another during half of the book (Gryphon’s was the main one that was grating), worry not! They get resolved with minimal misunderstanding and drama. I love that their romance is based on trust for one another, and that neither person is afraid of apologizing or owning up to their mistakes. They make for an incredibly honest and wholesome couple that I really appreciate, considering the deceptive ships that are out there in YA fantasy.
“True courage is not measured in battles won. It is in finding the right course of action and following it, no matter the repercussions.”
Overall, the conclusion of the trilogy was awesome as everything got wrapped up - I can’t think of any loose string that is bothering me upon reading the finale. While the book is not perfect, it was just the right amount of “amazing” to ensure that I really enjoyed reading it. Zo and Gryphon are awesome characters that go through so much - both physically and mentally - while the other side characters have their own depth. The cultures of each clan really stand out as they become more integrated, and I was so extremely happy with how Jenkins wrapped everything up. I really recommend YA fantasy readers to try out this series = especially as it’s an indie book that needs more love! It’s underrated, and ultimately a gem waiting to be read.
The series earned a 5-star sweep from me, which is rare. But I loved it. The characters, the romance, the friendships, the discoveries, the suspense, the action ... it had it all.
*Note: I will do my best to avoid major spoilers, but as this is the third in a trilogy, that might not always be possible. Just know that going in :) Also, you can read my reviews for Nameless and Clanless first if you’d like.
I cannot tell you how loudly I squealed when I got the email from Shannon at Month9Books asking if I’d like to read and review an early copy of this book. I don’t think I’ve ever responded to an email so quickly! It’s quite possible my response was just, “gimme gimme gimme!” I absolutely loved Nameless and Clanless and I was dying to see how the series would end (while also lamenting that it has to end at all!). I could not be happier with this final book, or with the series as a whole. Jennifer Jenkins is an incredible author and this is an incredible series!
Prior to reading Clanless last year, I re-read Nameless to immerse myself back into Zo and Gryphon’s world. This time, prior to reading Fearless, I re-read both Nameless (for the 3rd time!) and Clanless (2nd time), and I’m so glad I did. (If you’re new to the series, I have a feeling you’ll be binge-reading it, too!) I am truly amazed that, even though this is the third time I’ve read Nameless, it still didn’t feel old to me! I seriously had just as many emotions as I did the first (and second!) time I read it. That is something that only certain authors can do -- to have us wanting to read a book multiple times and still feeling like it’s the first. The same was true with Clanless; I knew what was coming, but I still cried and laughed and gasped at all the parts that got me the first time.
As soon as I finished the first two books, I dove straight into Fearless, and my goodness it was... Spectacular. Satisfying. Emotional. Bittersweet. And so much more! There were times I bawled like a baby, let me tell you! I discovered that I was way more attached to certain characters than I’d realized! There was one plot point in particular that I went back and forth and back and forth on, thinking I had it figured out, then questioning myself, then going back to my original position... my notes are kind of funny to read now, full of furious scribblings, all caps, underlines, and “OH MY GOD”s! GAH! Such a roller coaster and emotional read for me. I knew it was coming to a close, but Jennifer still managed to create suspense right until the last page -- and I promise I am not exaggerating! She is truly a brilliant writer, and I can tell that this is the “book (series) of her heart,” as I’ve heard other authors say.
There is one specific thread that runs through all of the books that I haven’t mentioned in the past two reviews but want to bring up now. There are 4 clans in the book: the Wolves, the Raven, the Ram, and the Kodiak. Basically they all fear - and despise - the Ram, but there is also animosity among the other three clans. They never mix, and they’d fight each other should they be put in a position to do so. You can see, then, how prejudice would be a strong theme throughout the series. What I love best is the way Jennifer handles the characters’ prejudices. Just because one grows up in a clan and is taught from birth to distrust and dislike other clans doesn’t make them a bad person; we all of us have some deep-seated prejudices that don’t necessarily make us bad people. The problem is when the prejudice is never examined and confronted, when it turns to hatred and rage against “the other.” This is a mirror of our own society, and of all human societies, I think. We can and do overcome it, though! And that is the message at the heart of this entire series. If we allow ourselves to be open to those different from us, if we refuse to give in to blind hatred, if we examine our prejudices and our privileges, we can overcome and we can treat each other with dignity and respect. We are all just trying to make it, to take care of ourselves and our families and our communities, and we are way more alike than we are different. I love this quote in particular, from page 66:
****[Tess’s] screams of delight harmonized with [Joshua’s] pretend battle cry. Zo followed behind, shaking her head at the unlikely pair. A Ram and a Wolf, both raised to be enemies. They, more than anyone else, were proof that hate wasn’t born in the blood. It was cultivated by societies who feared that which they did not understand ... that which was different.****
I can think of no better place to end my review than with those beautiful words. Thank you, Jennifer, for this series that has been a part of my life for two years. I have loved every single solitary minute I have spent reading (and re-reading) these books. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I will follow you to whatever you choose to write about next!
Rating: 5 fearless stars!
Disclosure: I received an early e-copy of this book for purposes of review from Month9Books. This is my honest rating and review. Thanks so much to Chapter by Chapter and Month9 for letting me take part in this blog tour.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Rating: 4.5 stars
You know when you pick up the next book in a series you love, and it’s just such a relief to be back in that world? Like you can let go of a breath you’ve been holding? That’s what it was like opening up Fearless. After stealing my emotions in Nameless, then keeping me going in Clanless (though not as well as in the first book), I have been waiting for my beautiful Gryphon to live happily ever after for so long. But hey, you can’t always get what you want, can you? After the end of Clanless, Gryphon was due to experience a great deal of pain in this last book.
You may have noticed my obsession with Gryphon. That’s because I love him lots and lots. He had to be stronger than ever, finding himself now in the position Zo was in Nameless: surrounded by his enemies. Despite that, he was a rock. He held his head high and did what he thought he needed to to keep his “family” (Joshua, Zo and Tess) safe. The love he so clearly has for them is one of the reasons I have so much for him.
Those three also all hold places in my heart. Seriously, Tess and Joshua are my favourite kids in a YA book ever. As for Zo, she was so angsty in the first book, and I can definitely see how she’s grown; she seemed much more a woman than an adolescent, with a powerful yet feminine presence. Another character was also finally introduced in this instalment: Laden, leader of the Allies. Right from the start, I could feel his power emanate from the page.
With a deadline set right from the start – 23 days – Jenkins managed to start the book with tension and keep it going throughout. Both Gryphon and Zo have their own issues to deal with, and these both cause problems for themselves as well as test their relationship. I was on edge constantly, not only because of the impending battle between clans, but also because I just wanted my babies to be happy, something seemingly impossible. While there were some issues with the portrayal of the different clans in the last book, I still really enjoyed how differences in cultures were handled in this one.
The book, and the series, came to a really satisfying conclusion, and that makes me so, so happy. There’s nothing worse (in the realm of reading) than investing yourself in a series and having it all far apart at the end. Thank you so, so much, Jennifer Jenkins, for this gift of a story!
As a young adult I would have loved this ending. As an adult, I wanted more. It was quite a simplistic third book. Some glaring loose ends! Overall, I liked the trilogy and will recommend it to my young adult readers. It was squeaky clean.
This was one of those books where I got near the end and thought, "She can't possibly wrap it all up in this little time!" But she did a very good job. The characters and the conflict in this series are excellent.
I really enjoyed this trilogy even though the world-building is not the greatest, even by book 3. But the adventure is good, the relationships are good, the stories are good. I really liked the sense of found family in this book in addition to the true family relationships. In this tough, hard world, family is so necessary and I enjoyed watching them grow and shape. I liked having the epilogue, seeing where Gryphon, Zo, Joshua, and Tess ended up, how their lives to turned out. The surprise reveals were juicy and made sense, brought the 3 books together and the histories. Overall, a really good trilogy that I knew nothing about or heard of when it first came out! I look forward to reading To Kill a Curse which seems very different from this series.
There are things I like about this book, and there are things I don't.
The story-line is painfully predictable, and every "twist" was so obvious that I could see it from a mile away (i.e. many chapters away? idk). The overused and cliched tropes made me wonder why was I even reading this book. And besides all this, we have plot-holes, typos, "Mary Sue" characters, and toxic masculinity as well.
Nevertheless, the author knows how keep the reader reeled in and to keep them engrossed. I, for one, could not put this emotionally charged book down, and read all the three books consecutively.
So would I recommended it? Sure. Sometimes you just need a break and some good old plain entertainment! Between the eye-rolls and groans, I did enjoy reading this trilogy.
3.5 stars Better than the middle book, which suffered from the second book disease. :-)
I quite enjoyed this series overall, but can't look away from all the flaws. The time line needs some polishing, editors should do better job, because having a character who died in the second book suddenly appear in the last part of the third one is laughable. (Yes, it was a typo on the author's side, but c'mon!) Also, the difference between barley and barely is quite huge. :D And then there was the huge plot twist... which I guessed somewhere during the second book. Yet, it still had the characters surprised. :D
"There are so many things that reside outside of a man's courage, son. True courage is not measured in battles won. It is in finding the right course of action and following it, no matter the repercussions" - Commander Laden
I am damaged and broken from this book. I don't think i'll function well after finishing this. I think i need a sabbatical moment to recover, well at least i don't think i can read this genre for a while, until i sobered up.
This series really deserve more attention, people. How come it is so unpopular? all three books are insanely good! from the first book it already started out dashingly, and as the story goes it grew and grew into an outstanding plot. The author nailed it, every dot, every mark, every word. and I CRIED, like, a GoT cry! The story building, peppered with strong characters will consume your heart out.
of course, like every other YA Fantasy, this series includes a nerve-wrecking romance, but the main strength of it actually lies on the warfare. The wars of clans, allegiance, betrayal, pride, honor, and the conscience of the heart. The author herself is a warfare geek, so her narration in every fight, and drill is entertaining and engaging. some scene was so intense, i had to bite my pillows out of the suspense!
you'll love every characters here, in a way that will crush your heart, if one of them had to die. One of the characters that i worship so much is Commander Laden, which was quite a surprise to me, because i didn't expect that i'll fell for this character. Laden had been mentioned several times in book 1 and 2 as the leader of Allies. at first, i thought he would be the type of leader characters that, well serious, notable, maybe strong, and a bit controlling, but i did not expect to find a father-like character, that was so clever, strong, and even good enough to steal the role of a main character. He is like a Ned Stark here!
well honestly, this is something that i highly recommend for everyone who enjoyed battle stories, strategy and warfare, YA Fantasy, Warriors and Clans. Just read this series people!
Jennifer Jenkin's final instalement of the Nameless series really was an absolute treasure.
Having invested time in the current two books, I was really looking forward to Fearless and Jenkins really made it worthwhile.
Often with many books in which you come to an end of the series, having spent so much time, put in so much effort, the ending often is not enough to satify the hopes or the happy ending you had hoped for the book; however, Fearless really ends joining all three books together and creates an ending in which the reader can be nothing but satisified. Personally, myself being a sucker to romance, can't fault the wonderful finale that ensures the eternal relationship of Zo and Gryphon, the epilogue being a cute reminder of their hopeful futures. I really was grateful for the episode because I had wanted - needed to know that they would have a loving future.
The only dislike I have for this book is the slow burner beginning in which both Gryphon and Zo make stupid mistakes, one after another, and essentially internally ruin their relationship. I am aware that humans and therefore characters make mistakes but many of the characters decisions seemed irrational.
However, I truly loved Zo throughout, even though in this installement, she was portrayed as slightly weaker and I am in love with these books. Would recomment to all, right amount of action and romance!!!!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I have loved this series since the beginning. I have followed Zo and Gryphon through so much as well as seen them grow into the characters that they are. It almost feels as though they are my kids, or my cousins that I am watching grow and I am sad that this trilogy is over.
This book grips you right away. You pick up a little bit after where the second book left off and it throws you into suspense right away. You knew that Gryphon had his own set of plans at the end of the second book, but part of me had hoped that he would've decided against this plan of action where we pick up in the third book.... Being an avid reader I know that there is NO possible way this could happen but one can still hope.
Jenkins has yet again vividly painted a world in which I wish I belonged. I want to be a part of Zo and Gryphon's group of friends, and I want to be a part of their adventures. Through Jenkins' writing, though, I feel as though I am. As though this story is their reiteration for a long lost friend who needs to be caught up on the goings on of their life.
If you have yet to read Nameless and Clanless do yourself a favor and do so, so that you can get to this epic conclusion that will not disappoint.
I can't believe it's over. I actually attempted to read this one slowly to try and prolong the inevitable end, which of course didn't work.
This last book of the Nameless trilogy might be the best one. That's a lie, they're equally wonderful, this one just resonated a little deeper in my soul. Jo is forced to cope with internal struggles while trying to navigate a true love so powerful she can't wrap her own head around it; while Gryphon spends his time fighting between the "honorable" thing and the "right" thing, not fully grasping they could be separate entities. Being a ram his whole life has left him with the inability to prioritize core values such as love, family, honor, and discipline into the right order outside of the gate. It boils down to the ultimate love story, but not without sacrifice and heartache and plenty of hurdles along the way. It's truly a tale of self discovery, for all of the characters involved, from Joshua and Commander Laden, to Murtog and Tess, right back to Gryphon and Zo.
Jennifer Jenkins tells this story with such dedication and absolutely true talent. She pulls you in and doesn't allow you to come up for air.
This final book in the Nameless series captures a lot of both the good and bad aspects of the first two books... Needless to say, there are a lot of twists and turns enroute to their final destination.
The Epilogue gives a view a little past the events of the main climax... But I would have appreciated a little bit more time spent here, especially as I would have like to hear how things turned out for quite a few of the other chracters not included in this scene.
Overall, it was a good book, and an excellent series. The author's writing style just draws you into the story and endears the characters to you very quickly. I'll be anxious to read an future works that she may produce.
I received a free eBook copy of this title from Month9Books and have willingly provided and honest review.
4.5 stars, truthfully. And only because IF THESE TWO STUPID LITTLE CHILDREN JUST TALKED TO EACH OTHER AND DIDN’T KEEP SECRETS THEN HALF OF THE BOOK WOULD’VE BEEN MUCH MORE PLEASANT!! But even still, this was still a great finale to the series. Tbh I was kinda expecting Commander Laden to be Gryphon’s father the whole time, but then BOOM he gets beheaded just after telling him?!?!? That was so cheap. And a real shame. The angst from him acting like he was never gonna live a life with Zo was so tiring too. But it did come to a very nice ending, which I am glad for. The epilogue was cute, but I’m still internally cringing at the idea of the timeline of her having a 2 year old and already pregnant again just 3 years after the last chapter. Therefore, this bitch isn’t even 21 yet and already poppin them out! Like rabbits, these two. But hey, still a nice ending.

I really enjoyed this series! The clans were interesting and I enjoyed reading about the different cultures she created for them. I'm not a huge fan of love triangles, but I felt this one was not too painful. My main regret with this book is that I feel the author totally missed the opportunity to round out Gryphon's character. The last scene should have mentioned something about his songs he creates in his head, and his whittling. Like the last scene could have been very simply improved if Gryphon walked up whistling a tune Zo recognizes as a song he wrote for her, and her son runs up playing with a wooden toy Gryphon carved for him. I just felt it was a missed opportunity. Overall, though, I enjoyed this series and felt it concluded well!

I loved this series so much! It’s like a small gem of a world that I was so happy to experience. This is a series I want to research and find out more about how it was made and where the ideas came from, as I do with any good series. I hope more people enjoy this precious jewel even though is like to keep it all for myself. I loved getting to know the characters and the culture that surrounded them. I also loved watching them break the cultural expectations that trapped and divided them all. Thank you Jennifer for creating such a wonderful place for me to journey to that reminds me why I love reading so much!
This book was EXTREMELY frustrating. After all Gryphon did to free the Nameless, no one trusts him or likes him. He and Zo don't speak up and list all of the incredible, brave, antiRam things he's done. They just sit there listening to accusations. Oh, and don't forget, they both get to constantly tell themselves that whatever just happened is all their fault: Barnabus kills someone, it's Gryphon's fault; Gryphon isn't happy in the valley, it's Zo's fault... (occurred throughout the trilogy).
This book had some wonderful characters and moments where different clans come together, but it definitely required 1.5-1.8 listening speed at times.
Honestly, I couldn’t put this book down. Every time I did I was aching to get back to it. I have loved seeing everyone grow since the first book. All books are fast paced which makes it very entertaining to read. There were deaths in this that broke my heart but they are going to war so it’s not like I didn’t see it coming.
If you get a chance to read this trilogy, DO IT!!!!!!!
Also, look up Aidan Turner who plays Poldark and picture him as Gryphon. It makes reading 10x more fun 😂😍
This was such a fantastic series. I know this is a review for the individual book but I can’t really think about just the last book without thinking about everything that led up to this book.
This story built and built to an awesome conclusion. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is interested. In fact I already have recommended to friends on Facebook and my own son. I loved this series and I want other people to experience it too. I don’t understand why it’s not more popular. Why am I just now coming across this series?
These are such good books!!! In this one, a few things were predictable but then she turned around and there was a shocker as the "predictable" moment was revieled always keeping the reader interested! I love the world Jennifer Jenkins created! I want a side story to continue on with tess and her adventures! And gave, and also Raca and Murtog! There are so many ways that she could continue on in the world of nameless! I hope she considers it and keeps writing!
Ahh Gryphon, you sexy, awesome Ram you :) And Zo, loved her in this one. What I enjoyed: wrapping up the trilogy, hea, etc. What I disliked: the whole "lie to protect you cause I love you". The characters admit they hate having this done to them but they readily do this to others.
