Guardian Of Fate & Vengeance 🗡️ 🔥
I wasn't prepared. My heart hurts for it all to be over.
Finishing a series is always bittersweet, but being so involved in this one makes it hurt more.
This phenomenal trilogy deserves a spot on every dark fantasy lover's shelf.
Over nearly a year and a half, these characters became a part of my life. I've come to know and love each of them and this final book honored who they are as they faced challenge atter challenge.
Guardian of Fate & Vengeance is an epic conclusion to Eliana's journey. Packed with adventure, redemption, heartbreak, impending war, and a battle between dark ano light, it pulls you in and won't let go. It may be fiction, but within its pages you'll find yourself facing reality.
I don't want to spoil anything, you deserve to experience it all for yourself. But if you haven't started yet, check out my review of Book one "Prophecy of Blood & Flames" and begin your own quest through the world of Odora.
ARC- Honest Review. All opinions are my own.

This was the conclusion of a trilogy that I never knew I needed in my life. Guardian of Fate and Vengeance ripped my heart out in so many ways. I wasn't ready to start the book because I knew it was the end. Ugh, but the way that Lacie weaves the world between all of the character's POV's was something I enjoyed even more in this book.
Following Eliana's journey has been amazing. The growth from the first page of Prophecy of Blood and Flames to the last page of Guardian of Fate and Vengeance, was not only amazing to see but also relatable. Eliana's journey was not the only one that I enjoyed, Kai and Naomi, I felt their growth in my heart. Birvot as well, they were a character that I grew to love more and more when reading their POV.
If you enjoy fantasy/dark fantasy this is a series that should be added to you TBR. The magic system and the monsters were done just right for this story line. I am sad to see this story end but knowing that there will be another book set in Odora makes me excited to return.
Lacie, this book ripped me apart and put me back together again... I am ok with it. Ha-ha. This book/series has become one of my all-time favorites, easily. Thank you for writing such an amazing story. Eliana, Zayne, Kai, Naomi and Vendeekta will all hold a piece of my heart!

🗡️❤️🔥🛡️ ARC Review 🛡️❤️🔥🗡️
Thank you so much to the author, Lacie M. Lou for the ARC and the chance to return to this world one last time.
Guardians of Fate & Vengeance is a powerful and emotional end to a series that has become so much than just a story to me. It's raw, dark, and beautifully written. Full of moments that made me ache, hope, and hold my breath.
Eliana's journey to me, felt personal. Watching her carry the weight of the world, fight for others, and still struggle with her own inner darkness, it resonated more than I expected.
I loved how each Auror's path came together in the end. Every choice, every sacrifice, every moment of light in the dark, it all mattered.
Finishing this book was bittersweet, I must admit I was not ready to let go, but I am so grateful for how it all came together.
Lacie, thank you for this story, and for trusting readers with your heart on these pages.

War has come to Hevastia!!
In this third and final book of the Aurorian trilogy we see more monsters, more fighting, more darkness but with the help of her friends and allies, Eliana is able to rise above it all and bring about the peace Hevastia has been needing for so long.
Guardian of Fate and Vengeance brings to a close a series that I have come to love with characters whose stories I’m a little sad to see come to an end but l am also happy that I get to see the conclusion of the trilogy.
GOFAD is a lot darker than the other first two books with scarier sounding monsters and challenges in almost every charter for our MCs. We get a lot more POVs as well, which I must admit was a bit much, especially towards the end but gave a more fulsome view so I get where the author was coming from.
I very much enjoyed GOFAD and would recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure/quest type book with characters you will love and ultimately root for.

The final chapter of an epic series comes to a close. I was ready until I wasn't....
If you have not had the pleasure to read this series, please do so! Start with Prophecy of Blood & Flames and get ready for an emotional journey.
Eliana is facing the biggest battle of her life! A fight between good and evil that will have her question her hearts true intention while protecting her people. Realizing her true prophecy and place in the new world.
Kai embraces his true destiny as he makes the final journey into battle while facing his own personal demons and risking it all in the name of love.
Cire is grappling with his past and future as he takes his place in the new world. Determined to help Eliana in the battle of good and evil, no matter the personal costs.
All of the additional characters introduced are fantastic. I love seeing other worlds come together in an epic final battle against Vaiccar and his army. (Venedeekta & Zayne have my heart)
I cried, cheered, gasped as I read the final journey of these amazing characters. I am lucky to have read Lacie's' world from the beginning; to watch this author grow into her writing has been an absolute privilege. Bravo Lacie!
It is bittersweet to say goodbye to this world but always remember There is Promise in the Light.

A very enjoyable conclusion to the trilogy! Lacie took a darker style with this book and it resulted in a thrilling last chapter of her story.
Characters continue to develop in new and interesting ways as this trilogy builds to its climax and natural consequences. There are some surprising twists in this final book that I did not see coming but make sense for all involved.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its fast pacing towards the climax of the trilogy and how it resolves itself. I definitely experienced both tears and cheers throughout.
Thank you Lacie for the opportunity to read your work. I received an ARC, however all options and reviews are my own.

Lacie finished the series ON A BANG. Holy moly, her ending was perfect and so utterly symbolic of so many themes of this series. The grief rep! The exploration of vengeance. It was an utter pleasure getting to read the Aurorian Trilogy from start to finish. The description...the advanced world building...the heavy character development - it's all there. This series is perfect for readers who want their fantasy without the spice but still plenty to love.
I want to cry tears of sadness but also of joy because the ending for the characters of this universe was so poetic. I can't wait to see where Lacie goes next!!!

I genuinely love this story. The ending, while I feel a bit surprised, I also don’t feel surprised at all.
I should have re-read the previous books because it was quite challenging to come in to the third book and remember who everyone was and where they were at and what had just happened.
HOWEVER. I truly enjoyed this series. I think Lacie’s writing is beautiful. I thought the story line was engaging and heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time.
I did receive an ARC of this book.

Thank you Lacie M Lou for this ARC! This was an amazing ride. There was a lot of growth in all of the characters. Lacie also made some interesting decisions with this book, ones that many would avoid. This book is darker than the first two, with more monsters and fighting. There were new POVs and a few new characters. I'm interested to see what other books Lacie has in store.
