Excuseeeeeee me!?!?!? What a freaking cliffhanger!!!!! Everything came together beautifully in this book!! Holy crap! I need book 5 immediately!!!

[Amber · Rating 3 out of 5]

I realized I genuinely don’t care about anything but Bronwen. Sorry? But like let’s be real here- Bash and Violet have NOTHING on Winnie and August. AND IM SORRY BUT THATS IT? I need um more like now? Like seriously.

Also, why am I like for Adar and Violet… idk if that’s an option but Bash kind of lost his appeal, he’s too… down bad for her and it’s made him lose his character identity. Adar tho? 😏 I mean come on.

I loved the book but I believe it was kinda dragging at the start. The only part I LOVED is when August came back.

Cliffhanger: Yes (Yawza!)

Okay this one was waaaay better than book 1. It did drag a bit in the beginning but overall it was just better. I enjoyed the additional pov and definitely wished I would have read the prequel books. All in all I'm locked in for what I assume is the last book in the series. Everything has gone straight to hell so it should be doozy!

[Kyla Honey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot believe what I just read. Every book in this series just gets better and better. I am quite literally obsessed with every single character in this series.

Will be back with the full review closer to release ! But just know this was perfection and I don’t know how I will survive until the next book 🥲❤️😭

THERE BETTER BE ANOTHER BOOK COMING OUT BC THE WAY MY HEART WAS JUST THROWN AROUND SOBBING

No but seriously i don’t even know how to feel i was not expecting everything to come together like it did and it did so beautifully but adar is going to be so heart broken, like yes she totally can destroy the queen from the inside but the fact that she severed the bond like wtf like yes i love that she got august back love love but she could have kept that communication open with adar🥲 i honestly have no idea what they are going to do but hopefully they figure it out and get their shit together

After about 65% until 85% I was really in full body chills. I could criticize this a bit but honestly I had a lot of fun reading about these characters again!

[H.A. · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was disappointing, to say the least. Listen, I didn't mind Violet in the first book. But being stuck in her fucking head for the majority of this one? God, she really is fucking insufferable. And honestly, Sebastian is, too. My dislike of these two started early into the book when Winnie fucking opened up to Violet about August, and then she—after explicitly being told by Sebastian not to push—kept asking questions about August, as if it was any of her business. She was curious. Fine, fair enough. But she acknowledges herself in her inner monologue that she saw where Winnie's boundary was, and it was August. That was before she asked yet another question about him. So of fucking course Adar blew up on her; that's his sister, and they're basically all the other person has left, and he feels her grief and her pain. And then, instead of Sebastian considering the feelings of his friends—friends who he's had for over three fucking centuries—he starts giving Adar the silent treatment like a fucking child. Listen, I am all for characters defending and protecting their love interests in books; I read romance, of course I love it. Does defending and protecting your partner equate to absolving them of anything that they do wrong instantly? Did Adar go too far with the training? Maybe, although I would argue that if someone had essentially fucking shattered my sibling again by dredging up memories from a time they were severely traumatised, I would do the same. Does that mean that Sebastian can't acknowledge that Violet was fucking wrong for hurting Winnie, though? No, it doesn't, and if anything, that's the fucking opposite of a healthy relationship. Like, you don't just stop giving a shit about other people (by this, I mean people that you already love, because for someone like Jacks from the OUABH trilogy, for example, Evangeline is all he cares about because he doesn't have anyone else he really loves, either, and he didn't have that prior to meeting her) once you fall in love, and if you're going to do it—because yes, I think it's 100% more acceptable in fiction, especially dark fiction like this—at least don't be a dick and take some fucking accountability and acknowledge that you are less than perfect? Like Winnie, for example. In the final chapter, she admits that she should feel bad, but she doesn't, because nothing matters to her as much as August. She doesn't pretend that she didn't fucking do anything wrong. Also, Violet, how the fuck are you going to tell Adar that the way he's protecting his sister is unhealthy when I know for a fact that you would be absolutely fucking catatonic if anything happened to Sebastian? Why was she basically, like, fucking dismissing Winnie's grief purely because Winnie isn't outwardly in pain? And how he fuck is she going to tell Adar—you know, someone who's known Winnie for, like, I don't know, it has to be at least 350 years—that Winnie's not coping properly, when you have only known her for a matter of fucking months, and you spend almost all of your time with Sebastian, not Winnie? Violet and Sebastian are infuriating, and Winnie, August, and Adar were the only tolerable things about this book. Also, does the author hate Winnie? She got August back and now, she can't even be with him because she's got to go stay with the Hitler of the witch world? What the fuck is that? Winnie's plot was a hundred times more interesting to me than Violet's, and I don't really get why this is a whole book centred on Violet—her plot is literally just reclaiming the Sun Realm which, yes, that would be incredibly fucking riveting to read about if there weren't other more important matters to deal with (and if it was about literally anyone else because I cannot handle being stuck in fucking Violet's head for another page) and talking to other Sovereigns—but the plot point that began in Winnie's duet and still hasn't been cleared up is quite literally the root of everything. I just hope that the next book gives me more than the six fucking chapters I got of Winnie in this. Six? Really? That was a fucking joke after the ending of Break Her Heart. Literally all of the stars this book got are from August, Winnie, and Adar.

(2.5 stars rated down)

Thank you Lexi for an e-arc of this book! I’ve been so excited to dive back into this world.

PREVIOUSLY, on the vampire diaries….

No just kidding 😜 but seriously, previously:

Book 1 started us off with Violet and Sebastian and their journey to discovering love and power. After book 1, books 2 & 3 diverted us to Bronwen’s back story. Technically, does Lexi say you don’t have to read these first? Yes….BUT DON’T LISTEN! READ BRONWEN’S BOOKS FIRST! Trust me! They start to come back around in book 4 here and leading into book 5.

Back to book 4, we bring the story back to present time and Violet/Sebastian’s story. We do have some Bronwen POV chapters in here as well. I’m always happy for a story to bring in multi-POV honestly.

Violet is struggling. Her power long since suppressed is crawling its way back up, but she has no control over it. The tug she feels to return home, to the Sun Realm, is ever pulling, but will it ever truly be home? When Sebastian is her home too. Two Sovereigns. Two Kingdoms on the other side of the land from another. In the end, what comes out on top? Love or duty? And when a mysterious power is using its influence throughout the realm and the other Sovereigns, how can they stop the inevitable of history repeating itself?

At the same time, Bronwen is struggling. She puts on a happy and brave face for everyone, but for centuries has been drowning in her own sorrow. When certain incidences drudge up the past and a love long lost still eats away at her, when will she finally break? And once she does, what devastation will follow?

Love…will bring out the best and the worst of you.

And that is a big theme I found throughout this book. In all different types of relationships we have in this book: romantic, familial, friendship, duty, everywhere. And for some, it brings the results wanted but for others, destruction and heartbreak are all that lie ahead.

We got very spicy 🌶️ this book! My man Sebastian has NO plans on keeping his hands (or his shadows 😈) off his mate 🥵

The ending to this book had me on the edge of my seat. And sets everything up perfectly for going into book 5! I wish I had it now!!! I’m SO excited and really hope we continue with the multi-POV and even add in another 1 or 2.

Will love conquer all? Or save some and destroy others?

[Charlotte · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Gosh. This was everything and more: the character development, the imagery of the other realms, the humour, spice, heart break. How is it possible that every book in this series is better than the last??

There are so many bits within this book I could highlight but I’d end up listing every chapter so I’ll just do a few!!

Chapter 16!!! Wow wow wow I had tears of happiness which I don’t think I’ve ever felt before when reading💛 The way the writing brought the story to life and made me feel like I was there was insane, I was screaming I loved it so much!! I’m trying so hard not to spoil anything but this chapter I thought was just stunning!

Chapter 29 broke my poor little heart. I am soooo glad we get to hear more about Bronwens story and have flashbacks to her book. She is truly a strong, independent woman but her story is so devastating, I love her so much❤️‍🩹

Chapter 35 was an emotional rollercoaster I was holding on for dear life!!! I have never felt so many emotions in one go😭 It was a necessary thing however!! No spoilers but prepare yourselves for mental torment!!🤫

Violet is absolutely my favourite fmc I’ve read about in a long time but Bronwen is a VERY close second💘It was so nice to see Violet come into her own in this book and discover who she really is. Her story of who she is, where she comes from, the sun realm and her parents is beautiful. I’m so excited to hopefully read more about the sun realm in the future because the way Lexi has written it has made it seem absolutely stunning🌅

Everything about this series, specifically this book, is just perfect. I love the fact there are small links to Vampire Diaries (my fave)!!!! Bronwen makes me laugh out loud. Adar seems so misunderstood but I truly loved learning more about him and why he is the way he is (sibling love am I right?!) The spice in this book WOWOWOW I couldn’t breathe😭😮‍💨 Sebastian the MAN YOU ARE!!! The way he takes control, calls her love, I was gasping for air❤️‍🔥

These 4 books have easily become my favourite fantasy series🧚🏼‍♀️💨🌬️🌅 Lexis writing is insane, it’s so easy to resonate with the characters and fall in love with each of them. Can’t wait for what’s to come…..!!!

[Shelby · Rating 5 out of 5]

​I could not put War of Her Throne down! Lexi Hodges has completely outdone herself with this fourth installment—the stakes are higher, the emotional depth is incredible, and I read straight through because I just had to know what happened next.
​What truly elevates this book is the unbelievable chemistry and connection between the couples. Sebastian and Violet’s bond as fae soulmates is nothing short of amazing and heartwarming. No matter what trials or chaos the realm throws at them, watching them stick together through thick and thin makes you fall in love with them all over again.
​Then there is Bronwen, whose character growth hit me right in the heart. Going deeper into her tragic backstory as a former syphon turned solitary vampire made her so deeply relatable and lovable. The pain of losing August always hung over her, but her absolute selflessness in this book is breathtaking. Doing something so reckless to save her friends and her brother finally brought August back into her arms, but having to sacrifice herself just to keep him safe and stay by his side broke me in the best way possible.
​We also get so much crucial insight into Adar. Seeing the true roots of his cold, ruthless exterior reveals just how fiercely loyal he is as a brother he would burn the world down to protect Bronwen and keep her happy.
​Now I am desperately waiting for the next book! I need to see how Sebastian & Violet continue to navigate this war, how Bronwen & August fight their way through, and how Adar copes with the agony of being separated from his sister while plotting his revenge to get her back.
​War of Her Throne is an incredible, action-packed story filled with Fae, vampires, magical creatures, high-stakes political warfare, and beautiful found-family tropes. If you love deep romantic chemistry and rich worldbuilding, this is a book you will never regret picking up!

Review of advance copy received from Author

Firstly, I’d like to thank Lexi for the ARC!

Okay, here are my honest thoughts on the book:

- Language: Descriptive, with a great balance between too much and too little detail. I especially loved the way the new characters were introduced and described
- World-building: I loved that we got to see more of the world! However, it felt a bit rushed, and I would wish for more
- Characters: It’s safe to say that I love Bronwen and Adar as characters! I really appreciated how well their personalities and traumas were written. The relationship between Bash, Vi, Adar, and Bronwen felt sincere. And as much as I love Bash’s protectiveness, his overprotectiveness could sometimes annoy me. I guess, in a way, it added more depth to his character
- Dialogue: Kind of cheesy at times. Some moments genuinely made me cringe. It needed more sarcasm or something to balance it out. Also, why does the millennia-old Lirra woman give off teenage vibes when she speaks?
- Lastly, THE PLOT TWIST! OMG! If there’s one thing Lexi knows how to do, it’s twist the plot and keep you turning pages nonstop! The last 30% of the book was filled with all kinds of emotions. Yes, I need the next book immediately!

Violet is an ordinary human untill she finds out that she has special Fae powers. As things progress and situations present themselves, Violet falls in love with Sebastian, the Night Realm King whom she calls Bash.
She learns that she is a mythical animal shifter and that she is the heir to one of the Realms throne. The throne has been vacant for a long time as the King died and everyone in that particular Realm went into hiding to avoid facing death.
With a royal guard and two faithful companions, Ador and Bronren, they are called to face, in battle, the other kingdoms or realms , the Sovereigns of which giving the appearance of being controlled by someone or another.

The author writes a good story about the Fae and the way they rule with the alliances formed under strange circumstances and the appearance of vampires is common in this book.

I personally found that the story seemed to take time launching and that certain chapters were long. However, the core of the story is good and well written leading to a conclusion that takes the reader by surprise and leaves the same hanging at the very end. I caught myself double checking if I had all the pages.

All in all a good story, well written by a talented author, but lengthy. I give this book 4 Stars.

OMFG THAT CLIFF HANGER!!😭

Lexi I just wanna talk😡

Book 4 in the series and coming out on the 12th of May and I’m so fucking happy I was able to snag an ARC to this!! Literally felt like gods chosen few🤣

It took me almost a week to complete because I didn’t want to leave the world😭 Everything about this book just gave me butterflies and had me kicking my feet giggling because that’s how much I love this series!!

The tension between Violet and Adar had me raging at one point and then had me giggling at the fact that they end up becoming friends towards the end, especially those last ten chapters! Had me fucking crying during the war scenes!

Don’t even get me started with how fucking GOOD those fight/war scenes were, had me at the edge of the seat clutching my kindle with tears in my eyes😅

OMG AND AUGUST AND BRONWEN!! I can’t spoil it but that shit broke my goddamn heart😭 I can also say again that August is that man🥵 I MISSED MY HUSBAND😭

I wasn’t entirely sure where this book was going at first, but I was so excited to jump back into the world the author has created. The entire time I was yearning to see August again, and I won’t confirm or deny whether he plays a part or not.
Overall, this was a solid read, and it definitely feels like a setup for what’s shaping up to be an absolutely entertaining next book. This book lays a lot of important groundwork and really gives readers a glimpse of the bigger vision the author is building toward, which will probably end up breaking our hearts.
There were a few moments where I wasn’t completely sure what the author was trying to convey, but I think that has more to do with the writing style than the story itself. I think this book did a great job serving as a connecting point between the Sebastian/Violet books and the Bronwen/August books.
I enjoyed reading the book and I’m already impatiently waiting for the next one even though this one hasn’t even been officially been released yet.

✨BETA AND ARC READ✨

I was fortunate enough to beta and arc read this book and holy moly… it did not disappoint!!!!! Jumping back into this world was a high priority on my reading list and seeing Violet and Bash back on the pages had my heart fluttering. Everything about this 4th book was incredible. The pacing is quick but not too quick, the characters arcs were ARCING! It felt awesome to see and feel their growth through the chapters.

The spiiiiice 🤭🤪👀 helloooooo we get some good spice and ONE CHAPTER IN PARTICULAR WILL HAVE YOU SCREAMING hehehehe!

The ending had me crashing out though. Like I FULLY WAS CRASHING OUT IN LEXI’S DM’S!!!! It ended on the most insane cliff hanger too… I was thoroughly invested in the story! I’m already gnawing at the bars of my enclosure for book 5 (pls give it to us soon)

10/10 no notes. I loved every minute of it. I finished it in under 24 hours too lol — thank you Lexi, for choosing me to beta and arc read your books! I truly am your biggest fan and I love these characters to death 🫶🏽🥀🫂

אני בהלם. אני לא מאמינה שזה הסוף.
הסקירה עלולה להכיל ספוילרים.
אדר הוא אח מושלם. הוא האח הגדול שהיית רוצה לידך כשגבר פוגע בך וגם הבן זוג שהיית מייחלת לעצמך.
כשוויולט מתקרבת לחקר האמת ופוגעת בברונווין אדר לא נשאר שקט והוא מחזיר מלחמה ואני עפתי על זה! סוף סוף האישיות שלו פורצת.
הצללים של סבסטיאן גרמו לי לחום הוא מגן עליה בכל דרך בכל מקום לא משנה איפה הוא.
כאב לי שסבסטיאן לא יכל לשרוד אצלה בממלכה וגם ברונווין לא.

אהבתי שאדר היחיד שזכר שהיא עוף החול והוא הציל אותה כשכולם היו עסוקים בעצב ואבל עליה.
הסוף היה מטורף בעיניי.
היה ברור שזה אביה המאמץ, הוא זה שאמר לסבסטיאן להוריד את המגן ממנה ולתת לה להתמודד לבד ואז המלכה הצליחה לחדור לה למוח וגם לו!!
אהבתי מאוד את השתלשלות האירועים וגם את החזרה של אוגוסט.
הסוף היה לי קשה בייחוד כשסיימה אותו בסוף פתוח ועכשיו אני צריכה לחכות למרץ 2026 בשביל הספר ה5 אבל אם אין ברירה..
אני לא יכולה לחכות שלאדר תהיה בת זוג ואם היא תהיה ויולט + סבסטיאן + אדר = אני אהיה המאושרת באדם.

[Dawn Kellner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great connection between the two storylines. It took me awhile, and a lot of studying the maps of Alentara, to fully understand how the realms were connected and where everything was located, but once it all clicked, the story came together beautifully in a way I never expected.

The romance in both storylines was written so well that I felt every emotion alongside the characters through all the love, tension, heartbreak, and conflict. Each couple had their own unique journey, and both were equally captivating.

One of my favorite parts was how the author slowly revealed connections between the realms and characters without making it feel predictable. The world-building was detailed and immersive, and by the end I was completely invested in the story.

This book was so good that I’m already hoping there’s more to read from this world and these characters.

I need a drink and a cigarette and I don’t even smoke. I am stressed. I feel like War of Her Heart pulled me into this false sense of security. Thinking of sure there going to a little drama and a little chaos. Yeah sure that’s it. Then we get to Bronwens books and yeah go ahead and break my heart. Drive a stake right through my heart sure. But I’ll keep going because a part of me has hope that things will get better. Yeah I just know I’m going to get what I was hoping for. But nooooo we get to War of her Throne and all hell breaks loose. Now I started to have an inkling about the Queen Mother when the book started. Like part of me kept saying welll what is. Now what threw me for a loop was Violets parents story because what in the actual hell. Thanks for yet another cliffhanger that has my blood pressure high.

[Amiya · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve loved this whole series. I’ve loved getting to know each individual character. I’ve also loving seeing how each of them have grown. Especially Violet. I feel as if at the start of the series she was one of the weakest characters just to end up being one of the strongest and learning her story has been amazing. I loved this book and the conflict felt as if it progressed naturally rather than being forced.
However, the shock of Queen Mother and Bronwen’s decision to go with her to be with August? I did not see that coming at all. And I simultaneously hate and love that the book ended on a cliffhanger. It leaves me wanting more and I really hope there will be. But turning the page and realizing it was the end of the book and not just the end of the chapter? Heartbreaking. I need to know what happens next. I can’t tell you the last time a series had me hooked like this.

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading War of Her Throne as an ARC was an incredible experience. This book completely swept me away and took me on an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end.
The story was intense, captivating, and filled with moments that had me completely invested in the characters and their journeys.
There were so many times I simply couldn’t put the book down I kept telling myself “just one more chapter,” only to find myself still reading hours later. The pacing was excellent, the emotions felt raw and real, and the twists kept me hooked throughout.
Overall, War of Her Throne was an unforgettable read that left a lasting impression on me. If you love emotionally charged stories with gripping storytelling and characters you can truly connect with, this is definitely a book worth picking up.

What in the world?! This was such a roller coaster of emotions. I loved seeing the whole series tie itself together, but I didn’t expect the emotional wreckage to continue on and blast off like it did. And that ending... are you kidding me, Lexi?! I need the next one... like yesterday. This series has a vice-grip on my heart.

Thank you to Lexi Hodges for the eARC opportunity.

Oh my goodness! We are finally back in the Night Realm in Alentara with Sebastian and Violet’s story picking up where War of Her Heart left off.

Violet is figuring out her power and if she is going to rule her realm or stay with Sebastian. It’s chaos and high emotions for them as they are figuring everything out. And Bronwen and Adar are there every step of the way.

When something takes ahold of Sebastian and Violet, it takes everyone to figure out what, or who, it is and how to stop it.

There are some surprising appearances at the end of this book, and I just know that the 5th book will be the best, and craziest, of them all.

[Edna Ruiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been hooked on this series since book one and this book is no different. I love that I finally got to see more of Violet and Sebastian. It was incredible seeing their relationship grow. Learning curve for Sebastian to not put Violet in a bubble. Violet needs to find herself and stop hiding. Adar really annoyed me during this book but as the book went on he was extremely relatable. Bronwen girl….. she has suffered so much and when she gets hope it comes with so much darkness and fear. Plot twist I did not see coming and I can’t wait to see what happens next. All I’m saying is that they better get a happy ending!

[krystenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

OH MY GOD, coming back to review in the morning because it’s midnight and “just one more chapter” turned into finishing the book.

Firstly - Lexi's writing has seriously matured in this book, her confidence with the fantasy genre is clear as day. She introduced a lot more world building elements that were probably a little lost on me as I was here purely for the feet kicking romance. By the time I hit the 80 percent mark I could NOT put it down, the way she managed to tie in Bronwen's books and everything it built up to was SO BLOODY CLEVER.

So whilst this took me longer to get into than the previous books, as I got my head around the new fantasy elements- it left me DESPERATE for the next one! I have also recommended to my friends to read B's books first, then book 1 and then book 4. I found this had the most emotional impact knowing her story whilst reading war of her heart (I did a reread)

[Kaitlyn Boersma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Getting to read this series pre-release has honestly been such a gift. After book one, I was already so attached to Violet and Sebastian that I just wanted more of them immediately, but getting the chance to dive into Bronwen and Adar’s backstories in books 2 and 3 ended up adding so much depth to the overall story.

Coming back into Violet and Sebastian’s world in book 4 with all of that history behind everyone made the conversations, relationships, and reveals hit so much harder. Everything tied together in a way I genuinely wasn’t expecting and it played out beautifully.

And that ending… I need book 5 immediately because WHAT 😱 Lexi Hodges did it again with War of Her Throne.
