Fractured Puppets #3
Free His Wings
A Griffin’s wings will only take them part way.
Hope has a price and it’s never paid by the people who promise it.
Before he was Player 197, he was just an ignominious son, discarded and burdened with an impossible task.
A prince without a country. A weapon without a choice. A griffin without wings.
The Masquerade is over.
But the games are not.
Raven has escaped, but at what cost?
Torn from her Sparrow and ripped from her first love, Raven is taken far from Violencia to a different country entirely.
Here, she isn’t a victor or a weapon. She’s cherished.
Protected. Controlled. Watched.
They tell her she’s lucky. That she’s safe. That she belongs to them now.
But something is wrong.
There are no women in the streets. No mothers. No children.
Only hollow reverence and unanswered questions.
The longer Raven stays, the more she realizes this place doesn’t save women like her…
It collects them.

Book 3 of the Fractured Puppet series Did. Not. Disappoint... because... WHAT. DID. I. JUST. READ?! I love this world so much, and it got so much more in depth in this book. I'm pretty sure I yelled WTF more than I should've. I thought Raven's home of Violencia was bad... Griffin's is so much worse. No, thank you. I could NOT live like that! That stinking plot twist in the end made me SCREAM! HOW COULD YOU!! 😩 I can't wait to see where this goes. I have a feeling it's going to get even worse before it gets better, huh?

4.5/5*
I am really enjoying this series!! This book was a lot different than the first 2 because they are now out of the games and onto more maybe even more dangerous journeys. There is still so much excitement it is just in a different form this time. I really love reading about all the tie-ins this series has, it has definitely been very well thought out. Learning more about the backstory of a lot of these characters was great. Of course it ends on a cliffhanger again!! Once again, I cannot wait for the next one!!

Following the other books in this series, talk about a reset in the overall feel and backdrop. This was an adjustment at first but also refreshing and adding a new element to a solid cast of characters, forcing them into new territory.
Raven’s always a resilient character and I felt both tortured and broken yet hopeful for her once again. I was really excited for some new characters on the scene and added complexity to some “old friends” of the series.
RelleAnne does not walk away from her writing desk without dropping major bombs and this is no different.

**Book Review**
This installment continues the dark, emotionally charged world introduced earlier in the series, shifting the focus toward the aftermath of survival rather than the triumph of victory. The story follows Raven after the Masquerade has ended, but makes it clear from the beginning that escape does not mean freedom. The opening lines establish a grim tone, reminding readers that hope in this world always comes with a cost—and rarely one paid by those in power.
Raven, once a victor and a weapon shaped by the brutal games of Violencia, is taken to a foreign country far from everything she knows. At first, the setting appears almost merciful. She is treated with care, protection, even reverence. For someone who has lived as a pawn in deadly spectacles, the promise of safety seems like a rare gift. Yet the narrative quickly reveals that this new environment is not as benevolent as it appears.
The most unsettling aspect of the new setting is its eerie absence of women in everyday life. Streets are filled with men, institutions operate without mothers or daughters, and questions about the missing half of society are quietly dismissed. This absence becomes one of the novel’s most effective sources of tension. The longer Raven remains in this place, the clearer it becomes that she has not been rescued—she has been collected.
The book also deepens its exploration of identity and control. The recurring imagery of broken titles—“a prince without a country, a weapon without a choice, a griffin without wings”—reinforces the sense that many characters in this world have been stripped of agency. Survival alone does not restore what has been taken from them. Instead, they must confront systems that continue to define and confine them.
Emotionally, the story is anchored by Raven’s separation from those she loves, particularly the Sparrow who represents her past and the fragile hope she once held onto. That loss shapes her perspective in this new country, sharpening her instincts and fueling her growing suspicion that something deeply wrong lies beneath the polished surface of her supposed sanctuary.
Overall, the narrative builds a slow, unsettling mystery while maintaining the dystopian themes that made the earlier parts of the story compelling. Rather than focusing solely on physical survival, this chapter of the story examines psychological captivity, the illusion of safety, and the hidden structures that exploit vulnerable people.

A unified front.
What a delightful adventure!
The author delivers a highly engaging read filled with twists that keep us hooked from the very first page. Each revelation feels like another piece of the puzzle, gradually coming together to create a fascinating story.
At the beginning, the story unfolds at a slower pace compared to the previous books, which is understandable considering that the characters were literally fighting for their lives in deadly games.
But if our MCs thought they were finally free and that there would be no more games to play, they need to think again.
There is always something happening.
Either we're getting flashbacks that help us understand the present, or a new situation is unfolding that keeps us anxious about what will happen next.
Apparently, life on the outside isn't easy either.
They still have to constantly watch their backs for potential attacks, get drawn into dangerous "games" because of the people they have to deal with, and fight to survive.
Even though this is a multi-POV story, which allows us to better understand the personalities of the MMCs, the author gives us a much deeper look into one of them in this book, especially since he takes on a more central role in the story.
I've had the pleasure of following these characters throughout the series, and they captivate me more with every book. They are incredibly complex, burdened by painful pasts, and the FMC becomes their anchor, giving them a reason to keep fighting.
They shouldn't forget that sharing is caring. After all, she has more than enough love to go around.
It's also worth noting that this is a dark series. It deals with heavy themes and situations, so you may want to check the trigger warnings beforehand.
While the beginning unfolds at a calmer(ish) pace, the final part is the complete opposite.
It's one thing after another, and I could barely catch my breath.
And that cliffhanger? Here we go again...

Review of advance copy received from Author
Free His Wings by Sage RelleAnne is a five star read that grabbed me by the throat and refused to let go.
This book is dark, haunting, and layered in a way that keeps you constantly questioning everything. Before he was Player 197, he was a broken boy shaped into a weapon, and watching that unravel piece by piece hurt in the best possible way. A prince without a country. A weapon without a choice. A griffin without wings. That line alone tells you exactly what kind of emotional storm you are walking into.
Raven’s journey in this installment is chilling. She may have escaped, but freedom has never felt so suffocating. The new world she is taken to is polished and reverent on the surface, yet something deeply unsettling hums beneath it. No women in the streets. No children. Just obedience and quiet control disguised as protection. The tension builds slowly and then all at once, and I found myself holding my breath more than once.
Sage RelleAnne writes morally grey characters like no one else. They are flawed, messy, powerful, and painfully human. The emotional push and pull between strength and captivity is done so well. You can feel the weight of hope and the cost attached to it in every chapter.
This story is not just about survival. It is about identity, autonomy, and what it truly means to have wings. And when those wings are clipped, who gets to decide if you ever fly again.
Dark, thought provoking, and completely consuming. I am still thinking about it. Five glowing stars.

No no no no no!!!!! WHAT IS WITH THAT ENDING!!! NOOOOOO!!! I love this series so much. I honestly didn't even feel like I read the book when I did. It goes by so fast because of everything that's happening in this book you learn so much. So you learn about the different islands, you learn about the kingdoms, and you learn more about Griffin. So I didn't remember Griffin too much in the stories beforehand, but after reading this book he's going to be someone I'm never going to forget. So this story is mainly about Griffin and how he became what he is. So you get a lot of POV from him and some of it is like years ago where he first started. And honestly enough it makes you feel bad for him. Like everything he went through with every other character. You just feel really bad. You do get Ravens and Griffin's POV more than anyone else's. You do still get the other guys but not as much. But just learning about Griffins like origin is there just as bad. If not worse, and I hate the betrayal you read in this book. Because you are hoping that there are some hope but there's not. If you guys haven't read this series it's like I want to say a hunger games but way different. I love it because of how interesting it is and everything that happens. Because unlike The hunger games this keeps going on but in a different way. And this just solidifies more of the backstory. All I got to say is get ready to be pissed off!! I seriously need the fourth book now. I can't wait!

This read is super slow after the first two
I have to give this book a 3.5 rounding up to 4.
So this book was very boring to me. The first two books were high hear and high action all the time. The FMC was this absolute baddazz and then in this book all that fizzled out.
This book is dual timelines focusing on Griffin. Yes it gives a lot of back story but it did not work after the events of the first two books. The FMC was basically a side character along for the ride of whatever Griffin wanted.
There was very little we got from all the other men since they were wanted and there was too much plotting going on without us understanding why or what the goal was.
There were a few good spicy scenes and the ending was good but the rest was far too much history lessons and stuff from the past that seems like it could have been told faster and with less trivial extras. We didn't need to know everything that happened and how to understand what was going on.
The very end at least picked up but I honestly have forgotten where everyone is and who all is going to matter. I'll definitely read the fourth book but I really hope its more exciting. I need the adrenaline and excitement that we had in the first 2 books. I mean they're going to war right?

As the third instalment in the "Fractured Puppets" series it is imperative to have read the previous two titles to gain the overall storyline and concept behind this dark dystopian reverse harem tale. This instalment is most definitely set at a slower pace compared to the first two but for good reason as there is quite a change in environments and scenarios, but I found it picked up further into the story. Again the characters are intriguing wonderful to read about, although I did find it hard to recall them as individuals which for me personally I should have done a reread prior to this instalment. (Again only because I read a lot and with time blocks between books I can forget details)
I'm particularly intrigued by the character of the Priestess and have my own suspicions to her power plays and can't wait to see how that unfolds. It's a great mix of romance, with a dash of taboo to make it more spicy, mysterious, power plays, and incredible display of love and loyalty and a sense of hope.
This, like the previous titles also ends up in a cliffhanger but certainly one that leaves you hungry for more from the plot and its characters.

“I was a void. A useless doll. A fractured puppet. They’re f-ing Cherished.”
Who can you truly trust in a world where deception is always right around the corner?
Raven’s journey is both chilling and captivating. Having escaped the brutal games, she finds herself in a new reality that feels even more confining. Though free, she remains a prisoner, ensnared by a different kind of captivity.
The world she enters is deceptively polished and beautiful, yet an unsettling tension lurks beneath its surface…an oppressive atmosphere of obedience and control.
And of course we got slapped with another chilling cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next book. I have been eyeballs deep in this series for almost 2 years now and I can’t get enough of it!
“Bright as a Raven. Dark as a Jay. No matter where you go, I will find you. All you have to say is Sparrow.”

Book 3 in the series almost feels like a reset in the overall tone and backdrop. At first it took a little getting used to, but honestly it ended up being awesome. It adds a new element to an already solid cast of characters and pushes them into completely new territory.
Raven continues to be such a resilient character. Once again, I felt like she was both tortured and broken, yet somehow still hopeful. Watching her navigate everything thrown at her keeps me rooting for her every time. I don’t know how she stays so resilient after everything.
I was also really excited about the new characters introduced and the added complexity to some of the “old friends” we’ve followed throughout the series. I thought Raven’s home of Violencia was bad… but Griffin’s world is somehow so much worse.
Also, if you know anything about RelleAnne’s writing, you know she never leaves her stories without dropping major bombs… and this book is no exception.!

OMG this Fractured Puppet Series is an incredible story. In book 3 we learn a more in depth history of everyone and their background throughout their roles in the events that took place. And it's amazing how connected everyone has unknowingly been throughout the story.
So many secrets, so much deception it is mind boggling.
And Raven! Can this girl ever get a break? It's one nightmare after another. Who do you trust? Who is the actual enemy?
I totally devoured this wonderfully written story. It's definitely a must read.
The cliffhanger at the end had me wanting to tear apart their world to help save her. Ugh!
I am going to be anxiously waiting for the next book to find out what happens.
Sage does not disappoint. I highly recommend this book and this series. These books must be read from the first book on in order to understand the story.

First off, I have LOVED this series. Sages writing is so great and she always brings a special uniqueness, unlike anything else. As others have said it is like a wild Mashup of all kinds of other series- Hunger Games, Divergent, squid games etc but it still has its own uniqueness that makes it so amazing!
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars was because the beginning was a little bit too slow for me. It had alot of back story and filling in the reader on character history and all their dirty secrests- which are great for character development, however I personally had a harder time getting through the first 10 chapters or so. After i got past that though I flew through it. The ending leaves you on a big cliffhanger, but what book doesnt these days!
Overall i really enjoyed this book and this series is a MUST READ!

📖 Book Review – Free His Wings
Free His Wings shifts the spotlight to Griffin, the MMC and prince of another country, as he fights to save the women and uncover the truth behind everything that’s been building throughout the series. This book really dives into the history between the countries, giving us long-awaited answers to questions from earlier books.
The plot was engaging and well-written, and I loved finally seeing things start to come together. Griffin’s perspective added a lot of depth to the story and made the stakes feel even higher.
While the ending does leave off on a cliffhanger, it definitely keeps you hooked and ready for what’s next. I’m so excited to jump into book 4 and see where everything goes!
⭐️ Overall: A strong continuation of the series with great world-building and satisfying reveals—just be prepared for that cliffhanger!

“I have told you before, and I will continue to inform you, you are my salve. You are our salvation. You have brought hope into my heart that there will be change. And as long as we are together, I am here to support you.”
Sheeeesh! What a next chapter for Raven and her ever growing harem! First, stuck in Violencia they were forced into deadly games and trials (Book 1 & 2) and in this one they’re facing new challenges and in a very different form! This one was a different change of pace from the first two, but welcomed nonetheless! I will say, it took a while, but Griffin grew on me! I loved the character arcs for everyone and their relationship growth throughout! And the epilogue!? 😮💨 Man, i can’t wait for Book 4!!!

I absolutely love this series iv been hooked to it sence the first book ! This book reveals a different side of everything we thought we knew from the others . It makes us realize that maybe we didn’t know as much as we think we do
Raven and her men are thrown into a new kind of game, but this time it’s not just about strategy or survival within familiar rules it’s about facing the harsh reality of the world they actually live in. It’s a depraved and dangerous world, and they must find a way to navigate it in order to survive and save Jayce and Sparrow… and maybe even everyone else.
I Love how we learn more about characters and more background as this series goes on !! Sage always has me in the edge of my seat as I read her books I can never put them down !!

3.5 stars.
Ravens saga continues.
I was all in for the first 2 but this one was a little slow.
It was Griffin heavy and honestly I didn’t care for him or his flash backs much. There were so many “secrets” they are eventually explained but it felt so slow.
And Raven has proven herself to be smart and completely capable, but this book she felt like a side character and absolutely no one lets her in on any of the “plans” they have for her.
They’re always like “just trust me” but never trusts her enough to let her in on any of it.
.5 was for the end because it left on a cliff hanger than will make me read the final book.
I hope it’s more like the first 2. More action! Less secrets!
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to arc read this novel
Ravens saga continues.

The end of the games was only the beginning.
The tension I felt reading this was severe, who can you trust? Everyone is keeping secrets, even Griffin, especially in this book.
There are now ‘unnaturals,’ I don’t know how they come into yet, but it doesn’t seem good.
The history of Violencia is cracked open more and more and with each reveal I felt more sorrow, hatred, and disgust for those who had used these people.
Beneath all of this lies Ivan and Nightingale, both playing chess with lives, both able to betray others at the drop of a hat.
I loved Julian and Oleks; Maverick and Enzo are still in the balance and I’m really not sure of Griffin’s motives anymore.
Levi is still the best of the bunch!
And Jayce, well he has people to rescue!

Broken Book Therapist Reviews
This series takes you down such a heartbreaking journey. Figuring out who you can trust, who is being honest, who is villain and who is an antihero, who might just be too broken to be useful. I swear they never get more than a few moments of peace before another chapter of pain and betrayal shatters it. My heart hurts for the group... hurts for how much they each deserve to feel love and connection and how limited those opportunities are. I am so ready to see them survive all these challenges and actually see how they do when tr@um@ isn't a fresh h€ll each morning. But for now, I'll just sit here with my toes dangling over this cliff of an ending!

First of all, thank you for the ARC!
I truly enjoyed the first two in this series, and yes excited for this third one.
This one is much more different than the first two actually - this is less action, much slower paced, feel less pumped yet still filled with plot and dramas - much more secrets and scenes been revealed with flashbacks as well. I also feel like we get to know the characters much deeper / better in this one too, and I like that we can see much more into Anadil in this, especially towards the end, where I think she’s actually been misunderstood all of these while.
Anyway, I do enjoyed reading this one too. It’s not as much as the first two, but still good. Looking forward to read the next one since the ending got me at the edge of my seat! 🖤

Sage….ma’am…..we need some words!
Book three of the Fractured Puppet series absolutely did not disappoint. This world, that I already loved, cracked open even deeper in this installment, revealing layers that left me stunned and shouting WTF more times than I can count. I thought Raven’s home of Violencia was brutal, but Griffin’s? Somehow even darker, more twisted, and far more terrifying. And that ending! The plot twist had me practically screaming at the book. I’m left reeling, desperate to see what happens next, but I have a gut feeling things are about to get much worse before they ever get better.

This is one of those stores you have to come from the beginning and invest you times and hard earned screams into.
This author is the queen of "what did I read", "why did that happen" and "oh my goddess wtf"
This is the 3rd book ov this series and it I'd crazy. we visit Griffin's home and see things that are amazing and beautiful and ..are.. just a bit off.
Raven is curious but as the days pass and the mystery that is this odd land begins to unravel and show itself the more wrong it feels.
But, our FMC is no needy scared girl, she knows that this is something that won't take care of itself, so as she plans and loves the men around her she already is looking towards the next move

Well here we are in 2026! I said I’d be back after I got my hands on book three and here we are!
As always please check triggers there are some dark parts found inside this book!
This book is AMAZING! Sage RelleAnne is 3 for 3 with me! I fell in love with the characters in book one and it has been an absolute joy watching them grow and evolve throughout the whole series. The series has made its way to my top five favorite series of all! This book specifically picks up right where book 2 left off. The beginning gives some background on Griffin and his life before the games! If you thought Violencia was bad Griffins home was so much worse.

What a wild ride. After the events of books one and two, I thought Raven would get a break, but I was wrong. She escapes one h!ll to find herself in a new prison.
In this book, we learn who is player 197. There is a lot to unpack with Griffin’ and his back story. As I learn more about him and what he went through, it is not hard to see how he turned out to be so ruthless. The new games that Raven finds herself in are not just physical but emotional and mental as well.
Sage is keeping me on my toes with this series. There is not a dull moment to be found. No time for the rest with the ending. Book four now.

The Fractured Puppets series definitely took a turn with this book. The whole back drop for the story was shifted and the world expanded to open a whole new realm for the reader. Some questions were answered, but definitely a lot more still waiting to be revealed in the future books. Sage leaves the reader always wanting more with the way she is slowly peeling back all the layers and connecting all the characters stories. This book definitely seems to be a pivot point in the story to help setup the action of the next few and will be excited to see where all of our characters end up and what is discovered in the books to come.

This is the third book in the Fractured Puppets series. After reading the first 2 books I am completely hooked on this series. I can not get enough of these characters!
OMG!! This story is like riding on a roller coaster. You think you know what to expect. The drop hits and you realize you still weren’t ready for that drop. Your stomach falls and your heart is in your throat. And yet you keep coming back to this ride over and over again. All I can say is I love this book!! The characters and this world.
Thank you, Sage RelleAnne, for this twisted dystopian world. I cannot get enough of these characters!!
