Irenic

The Harmonia Chronicles #3

by Jarah Aurel

She lost her love. She lost the war. Now she’s losing herself.

All her life, Malia was taught to be a fighter—to be unbreakable. But those mantras mean little when there’s nothing left to fight for. With Keahi gone and the Ghosts vanishing as quickly as they appeared, no trace left behind, Malia finally breaks.

Haunted and hollow, she tries to disappear too—but the war isn’t done with her yet. As secrets surface and mysteries unravel, friends turn to foes and loyalties shift. Now, Malia must face the fractures in her mind and decide whether she can fight one last time or be lost to the darkness for good.

A self explanatory ending but I love Lia and recommend this book but I liked Reprise more so if there rating had decimals I would rather Irenic 4.15 stars

I really loved this book. It was honestly such an amazing book and I got attached to the characters way faster than I expected. The writing pulled me in and I felt so many emotions while reading it. It’s one of those stories that stays in your head even after you’re done.I couldn’t stop reading it. Yes, I have a headache from reading the book in one go but I really loved it.

It was a bit different than the first book but still it was incredible to read. In the end all that waiting was really worth it.

Malia really had a character development. From a depressed absent girl to the girl she was before everything happened.

If I’m being honest, the ending did feel a bit rushed. Everything wrapped up so quickly compared to how carefully the rest of the story was built, and I wish we had a bit more time to sit with the final moments.

But still, thank you, Jarah Aurel, for giving us a happy ending. I was really scared for the outcome but it didn’t disappoint. After everything the characters went through, it felt really comforting and satisfying to see things work out. Overall, I loved the book, and even with the rushed ending, it was a great read that I’d definitely recommend.

For the author: Jarah Aurel, thank you so much for creating this series and for spending five years bringing this storyline to life. I loved every part of this journey and it really felt like an emotional roller coaster in the best way possible and I love you for that!! I hope I get to experience something like this again someday just like I did with this series!
Thank you for everything.

Wow, this series was truly put together with the authors heart and soul. This last book kept me on my toes and I was beyond happy with the ending especially in her notes at the end how she mentioned the possibility of continuing the story line. The book itself had covered a lot of sensitive topics with grace and even taught me a thing or two about grief. I highly recommend reading this series as your little escape from reality.

I enjoyed this series, wasn’t a fan of the start of this book, I hated how dark Malia had turned and I was just praying and wishing her and Keahi would find their way back to each other and some semblance of normal, did love malias healing, the budding romances of other couples was fun to watch to, I did enjoy the ending, there was no big fight or battle but I enjoyed it

Good, happy for now ending

While I did enjoy this book overall, it was a lot more about emotions and overcoming trauma than exciting battles and situations. The extremely slow burn was a bit frustrating as well.

There definitely needs to be another book or a 10 years later epilogue as I want to know how it all worked out & whether they got to have a family.

Ending felt rushed

But if she's still screaming for me, I can no longer hear her, and without her immediate presence to keep me anchored, I stand no chance against the darkness overtaking my view

It was nice, we got a lot more of Malia and her man, the ending felt a bit flat though ngl
