Expected 28 Apr 26Friends since they were younglings, Riven and Evianna grew up side by side, two heirs bound by duty and a connection neither of them fully understood. But something fractured between them before they were old enough to name it. Words left unspoken. Feelings buried too deep. And when Riven left Draegon, silence stretched into years.
When he returns for Evianna’s nameday celebration, nothing is as it once was.
A long-dormant bond awakens between them, ancient, powerful, and impossible to ignore. But before they can face what it means, Evianna is stolen from her home, taken by pirates wielding forbidden magic capable of shackling souls and draining life itself.
To save her, Riven must hunt a ruthless enemy across the sea and make an unthinkable sacrifice, because magic demands balance.
To restore what was stolen, one life must be bound to another. Shared fate. Shared death.
Bound by destiny but divided by choice, Riven must face the cruelest truth of loving someone with his entire soul does not guarantee being chosen in return.
And sometimes love demands you loosen your grip… even as your heart splinters in your hands.

The emotional roller coaster the author has put me through with this entire series had me experiencing every feeling one can possibly have. Skybound is a perfect ending to bring all of the books together.
You will need to read Heartbound and Soulbound to fully know the characters in this book and appreciate the surprise characters that come in.
I fell in love with Riven, the MMC, and Evi, the FMC. Their love story is beautiful and gut wrenching. They have so much they have to endure from first love to tragic moments to heartbreak to forever love! Their story is perfect and endless!
I am in love with the authors writing and how she is able to literally make me feel like I am there with each character and in their world.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I’ve had the absolute pleasure, and so much fun being the alpha reader for this series. Writing a book is no small feat, and I’m incredibly grateful that Kat trusted me to walk this journey alongside her.
I continue to be in complete awe of the way Kat brings these stories to life. While I’m heartbroken that the series has come to an end (even as I try to convince her to write just one more), I couldn’t be prouder to have been part of it.
Full review coming soon
I’m planning a full reread before I shout from the rooftops just how much I love this book and the entire series.
For now, I’ll simply say this: absolutely incredible. A true rollercoaster of giggles, gasps, pearl-clutching moments, tears, and pure awe.

I have absolutely loved this series ever since my friend told me to read Heartbound, book one which led me to completely immersing myself in this series. Prior to reading Skybound I would have said Fatebound, book three was and still is my favorite but... Skybound is really giving it a run for its money. I do not want this series to end!! I have fallen in love with the characters, most of them... And the dragons, the world, all of it!! K.T. Carpenter is an incredible writer and overall storyteller, she's going to go very far and I truly believe she will be a best seller. I will leave you with this, have tissues near and make sure you have snacks, there may be some stress eating while reading this book lol

Skybound by K.T. Carpenter
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
From the moment I started this book, I was fully invested. I went through all the emotions as I was fully immersed in this story. I laughed, I cried(multiple times) and got a little angry but Skybound delivers the kind of fantasy that feels expansive from the very first chapter. The MMC and FMC will always hold a place in my mind and my heart. One of my favorite series and favorite authors.
If you enjoy immersive high fantasy with powerful dragon lore, layered politics, and character-driven tension, Skybound is worth adding to your TBR.

What a beautiful ending to a phenomenal series. Her writing is poetic in her descriptions. She makes you feel like you are there experiencing it with her characters. Riven was my fav... well outside of his parents. One of the best parts for me was when he hugged his mom, and how Riven described her feeling like home. I got choked up with the coven part as well. If you haven't read this series you definitely should!!! Highly recommend.
