Dreams of Ruin

Soul of Shadow #3

by Emma Noyes

Love, magic, gods, and monsters collide in the thrilling conclusion to the Soul of Shadow trilogy!

When Charlie Hudson awakens after her Trial, it’s to find that nothing will ever be the same. The king of the gods is plotting to destroy Asgard. Charlie and her brother are trapped a world away from the people they love most. And worst of all, she’s become the very thing she hates a night mare.

Charlie’s transition is anything but smooth. Stuck in Helheim Palace, she must train her new shadow magic alongside dozens of soulless mares who would gladly turn her over to the enemy if they discovered she’s Loki’s true heir.

Her only hope is Elias Everhart, her once-sworn enemy who has somehow become one of her closest allies. He’s promised to help train her mare abilities—an easy idea in theory, if her magic weren’t malfunctioning… and if being near Elias didn’t make the darkness within Charlie grow bigger and more all consuming by the day. Charlie is in a race against time to reconcile the powers warring within her. Because if the threat on Asgard isn’t enough to kill her… love certainly will be.

In Dreams of Ruin, the only thing worse than becoming a night mare, is loving one.

As much as I didn’t want it to end, what a beautiful conclusion to an amazing trilogy!

Ugh I just loved Elias and Charlie. And all their friends and family - Loki, Lou, Abigail, Hel. I wish it didn’t have to end, but I’m so happy it ended the way it did.

There was so much magic and light and laughter. Even among the darkest parts of these books, there was always a light shining.

Also - power to women for always being the savours of the day. Every. Time.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! My heart is so happy. I loved reading this series so much. This was a great conclusion to a great story. While I do feel like the first half of this book moved slow and Charlie was driving me insane, I’m really happy with how it all played out. I need another 100 stories from this world STAT. Particularly a Trish & Loki prequel. An absolutely Gods-tier series, and I will stand ten toes down on that!

“Dreams of Ruin” is the third book and conclusion to the “Soul of Shadow” series. I did not enjoy this book as much as the others in the series. This may be common when all of the storylines need to be wrapped up and the “big fight” conclusion is nearing. The first half of this book felt slower, and many of my favorite characters (Henry) didn’t really make an appearance until the second half. All of these things made sense in the story but it was just missing the elements I enjoyed so much in the first two books. I love Charlie and Elias together and was happy to see their romance develop. Overall, this series was so fun and I can’t wait to see what Emma Noyes does next.

For those who love:
💜”The Vampire Diaries”
💜Norse Mythology
💜Contemporary Fantasy
💜Close Friend Group
💜Morally Gray Love Interest
💜Mysterious Magical World
💜Young Adult

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

OVERALL RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ½ | Loved It - Great Series Conclusion - A fun, satisfying wrap-up that answers every question and gives these characters a worthy send-off!

ROMANCE RATING: ❤️❤️❤️❤️ | Swoon-Worthy: I love them together, fantastic dynamic; solid growth.

STEAM RATING: 🔥🔥🔥 (for YA) | Moderate Spice: While not explicit it certainly is a bit more than I like to see in something marketed for YA. The audience age is too wide so I do believe books in this category should be good for someone as young as 11 or 12.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT
“Dreams of Ruin” is a fast-paced, high-stakes conclusion to the Soul of Shadow trilogy. It hits all the classic, epic YA tropes while finally giving us the character growth and closure this world needed.

Picking up right where book two left off, Charlie wakes up after her Trial facing an entirely new reality: she’s become the nightmare shadow creature she always feared. Now stuck navigating Helheim and training her powers, she has to stop Odin from destroying the Seal while navigating her electric, high-tension bond with Elias.

Coming off a slower "middle book" setup, this finale delivers. Emma Noyes does a fantastic job tying up every single loose end, delivering clever misdirects, and giving us plenty of satisfying redemptions. People get what’s coming to them, and the story wraps up in a way that feels complete.

One of my favorite things about this entire trilogy is that Charlie doesn’t just transform into a master warrior after two weeks of training. The author built in a realistic background of acrobatics and circus training from the beginning, which makes her physical agility and combat skills actually feel earned.

The main romance between Charlie and Elias is so much better here. The toxic, "he tried to kill me but he's hot" energy of the earlier books gives way to genuine trust and mutual support. We also get to see more of the side characters—like Charlie's mom—which helps ground why these teens were ever allowed to go galavanting about for weeks.

There are still a few funny YA tropes you just have to laugh at. For instance, anytime characters share a milestone kiss, there’s somehow a crowd of friends nearby actively cheering them on (because who doesn't want an audience while making out?). Additionally, a few dark, emotionless Night Mare characters suddenly become sweet, loyal besties—a bit of a logical stretch, but easily forgiven for the sake of a fun story!

In true classic YA fashion, our 16-year-old protagonist goes hard and ends up as the supreme god/Odin-level ruler of the Norse mythos. If you love ultimate "chosen one" power escalations, you will have a blast watching Charlie take on the might of Asgard.

WHO SHOULD READ IT?
If you loved the Norse mythology elements of 'Percy Jackson' crossed with the dark, moody romance of 'The Vampire Diaries,' this complete trilogy is a must-read.

Parent & Target Audience Note:
While marketed as YA, this entire series—and particularly this finale—reads much better as New Adult (18+). Between the heavy party culture (teens drinking to get drunk and organizing wild parties), mature romantic encounters on-page (including groping/higher heat levels), and intense themes, this is definitely geared toward older teens/adults rather than an 11- or 12-year-old picking it up in the middle grade to YA transition zone.

Soul of Shadow #3

One phrase: love, darkness, and Asgard in danger 🌑⚔️

This was such a bittersweet read.

I have really enjoyed the Soul of Shadow series, so going into Dreams of Ruin, I was excited and also a little nervous to see how everything would wrap up.

Charlie wakes after her Trial to find that everything has changed. The king of the gods is plotting to destroy Asgard, she and her brother are trapped far from the people they love, and worst of all, Charlie has become the very thing she hates.

A night mare.

Now stuck in Helheim Palace, Charlie has to train her new shadow magic while hiding who she really is. And the one person who can help her is Elias Everhart, her former enemy turned one of her closest allies.

Easy, right?

Not exactly.

Because Charlie’s magic is unstable, Elias makes the darkness in her feel stronger, and love might be just as dangerous as the gods and monsters trying to destroy everything.

I loved Charlie and Elias together, and seeing their romance continue to develop was one of my favorite parts. Getting more of Elias’ perspective added a lot to their dynamic and made the emotional stakes hit harder.

Charlie’s growth across this book and the series as a whole really stood out too. She has been through so much, and watching her wrestle with her power, identity, fear, and love gave this finale a lot of emotional weight.

The found family element is still one of the strongest parts of this world. Fenrir and Hel brought so much heart, and I loved the way the group dynamic came together in this final installment. Those relationships are what made the series stick with me.

I did feel like some parts moved slower, especially with certain favorite characters not appearing as much until later, but overall this was a strong and emotional conclusion to a series I have had so much fun reading.

The balance of tension, humor, romance, magic, and mythology made this finale feel intense but still true to the characters.

✨ Tropes and vibes:
🌑 shadow magic
⚔️ Norse mythology
🖤 morally gray love interest
🔥 enemies to allies to more
💜 Charlie and Elias
🐺 found family
👑 gods and monsters
🏰 Helheim Palace
💔 identity and power
✨ contemporary fantasy
😈 Loki’s heir
🌌 trilogy finale

📚 Read this if you like:
The Vampire Diaries vibes, Norse mythology, YA romantasy, morally gray love interests, magical worlds, close friend groups, found family, and finales where love might be just as dangerous as the war itself.

This was emotional, magical, bittersweet, and a strong ending to a series that has been so fun to follow.

Dreams of Ruin is the 3rd and final book in this series and I’m so sad that it’s over. Book #1 has truly become one of my favorite comfort reads. I now put the audiobook on in the background in the way that I used to have the vampire diaries on in the background (IYKYK). In some ways it seems unfair to rate this as 4 stars instead of 5, because book #1 was SO good it kinda distorts the rest of the series ratings 😅

The first half of this book was absolutely incredible and so addicting. The tension between Charlie and Elias. And of course the stress with Henry. I absolutely adored the character growth of Fenrir and Hel. I’m a sucker for a found family, and this book really made everyone come together in such a beautiful and satisfying way!

The ending of this book felt a bit rushed, and I’m curious if there’s going to be an expansion of this universe, because there totally could be 👀. The final scene was somehow both unpredictable, but also felt a little too easy or simple? Which is kind of a weird combination, but I just wish we got a little more to fully feel and appreciate the tension in that last scene!!

Favorite parts of this trilogy overall…

- The characters and their development was by far the best part of this series, and why it has stuck with me so much. I’m a sucker for a character driven book, and it’s not that this book had no plot because it absolutely did, but the characters are what I find myself thinking about all the time! Elias, Henry, Fenrir, and Hel 🩷 I want them on my team forever
- The relationship between both Charlie and Henry, and Charlie and Fenrir. My poor aching heart, I would sell my soul to have a companion like these guys 🥺
- The comedic moments in this series were top notch. Emma’s ability to insert a funny line in what is otherwise a very tense moment is insane. It feels so natural and true to the character’s personalities. This series is most certainly not a comedy, but yet I found myself laughing out loud in the most unexpected times

Dreams of Ruin by Emma Noyes

This was such a bittersweet read for me because I’ve really enjoyed this series, and I couldn’t wait to see how it all wrapped up.

Overall, I think this was a strong conclusion to the trilogy. The first half especially completely pulled me in—the tension between Charlie and Elias, the rising stakes, and everything building with Henry in the background had me fully locked in. It felt fast, emotional, and really addictive to read.

One of the biggest strengths of this series for me has always been the characters, and that absolutely continues here. Charlie’s growth across the book (and the series as a whole) stands out, and I also loved seeing more of Elias’ perspective—it added a lot to their dynamic and made the emotional stakes hit harder.

The found family element is still one of my favorite parts of this world. Fenrir and Hel especially added so much heart, and I loved how the group dynamic came together more in this final installment. Those relationships are really what made the series stick with me.

The writing also continues to do a great job balancing intensity with humor. There are moments of genuine tension followed by unexpectedly funny lines that feel very natural to the characters rather than forced comic relief.

That said, I did feel like the ending wrapped up a little more quickly than I expected. The pacing in the final stretch felt slightly rushed, and I would’ve loved a bit more buildup and emotional space to fully sit with the resolution. It all made sense, but I wanted a little more time in those final moments.

Even so, I still really enjoyed this conclusion overall. It’s a solid ending to a YA series that’s very character-driven, with strong emotional themes around identity, acceptance, and found family.

While this book didn’t quite land as strongly for me as the first half of the series, I still think the trilogy as a whole is worth picking up—especially if you enjoy mythology-inspired YA fantasy with strong character arcs.

And honestly… I’m a little sad to leave this world behind.

[Kristen C · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a series ending, I got the closure I needed from the story, but the book was underwhelming and not what I'd been hoping for. I had hoped for a return to the vibes of the first book, but the issues I had with the second book returned in the third.

Elias felt wholly inconsistent across all three books and not in a character arc kind of way, more in a doesn't know what kind of MMC he is kind of way. Charlie's propensity to bury her head in the sand and avoid avoid avoid continues into this book and left her feeling weak, indecisive, and immature—not the kind of FMC I like. Additionally, my favorite character throughout the series, Henry, barely gets any on-page time in this installment.

The story moved incredibly slowly for the greater part of the book. Purportedly, this was to further build the world of Helheim and dump information to move the plot forward. However, the world-building didn't really come off the page for me and the pacing put me to sleep on more than one occasion. The plot itself felt very contrived. I know that this is fantasy, so obviously it is all "contrived," but it lacked that organic progression and felt more like the author needed to make sure certain things happened at specific times and simply made up some convenient workaround to make it happen. The end was also rather underwhelming and unsurprising.

In all, this was an underwhelming conclusion to a series that started strong and just petered out.

Thank you to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Big thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for sending me this extra early copy of the last book in the series!

4.5/5 ⭐ (rounded up to 5)

Can't believe I've gotten to read all 3 books in the series as an advanced reader! What an honor!

I loved all the books, each giving different vibes, obviously since the stakes skyrocketed in the last one. It wasn't just a silly affair Charlie and her friends had gotten themselves into like in the first book. The magic system and Norse mythology spin are quite exciting, but I can't say I was a huge fan of the main event of Dreams of Ruin. I think I fairly rated it as 4.5 stars from the perspective as if I was younger since it's YA - magic, gods, big bad guy, romance, family, friends. It's all great but the ending fell a bit flat, I wasn't that excited or shocked by it. And some parts felt quite slow and it was taking me longer to read this book than it probably should have, tbh.

I still enjoyed everything though. I loved a little message about accepting yourself fully, even your darkest parts. It's an important topic. Same thing about supportive family and friends. Everyone around Charlie loves, believed, and accepted her more than she did herself, which might be the reason why she turns out to be such a compassionate and sensible person.

Overall, a great ending to a great series! Definitely recommend as good YA books to those who like Norse mythology!

~4.5 stars~
Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing a free review copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are completely my own.

Dreams of Ruin is the 3rd and final book in the Soul of Shadow series, and the books should definitely be read in order. I enjoyed the first two books, so I was really excited when I was able to get the advance copy of book 3. I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint, and I think it turned out to be my favorite book in the series! It just sucked me right in, and I couldn't put it down. Scenes were beautifully described, and some almost felt like watching a movie. There were parts that even felt a bit like reading a fairy tale. Plenty of action along the way kept things exciting. I really liked seeing Charlie's character develop in this book beyond what she already had in the first 2 books. I also loved getting some chapters from Elias's point of view. The romance in this series has always had a magnetic pull to it, but in this one it felt downright electric. The book managed to surprise me multiple times while I was reading it, yet everything fit together really well. I can't wait to read more by this author!

[The Starbound Girl✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for the opportunity to read this ARC for honest feedback. The conclusion to the Soul of Shadow trilogy releases in November 2026, and you won't want to miss it.

If you like Norse mythology, a good YA trilogy, and a captivating story then this is an absolute must read. Emma Noyes was a new to me author when I first picked up book one last year, and I am so glad I did. She wove a fantastic journey across these three books using Norse mythology as the base. Honestly, she had me at Loki.

This last book ties together everything to make for an epic ending. Charlie and Elias finally put everything on the table, and watching their relationship bloom was a much needed ending. We also got to know Fenrir and Hel better. They were written so well. I enjoyed how Noyes was able to give these ancient beings such normal family drama with their younger siblings. It made it relatable and funny at the same time.

I will warn that this book will rip your heart out and stomp on it without a care. You won't be able to put it down though, and will just accept the sadness due to how wonderful this ended up being. 5/5 stars. Make sure you pick this up in November!

OH. MY. GODS. 😭👏👏👏 This series by Emma had me immediately intrigued with the promise of a magical town inspired by Mystic Falls & a Damon Salvatore coded character... When I got to read the ARC of Soul of Shadow I was instantly obsessed with the way Emma's writing perfectly projected the visuals of this town and these characters behind my eyelids - so vividly that every step of the way I've been legitimately fantasizing about someone from the CW doing this series justice on the screen. My investment in this world Emma created has gone even as far as wishing certain songs would be featured in this series that so perfectly compliment the vibes and the moods of this story (in my music-loving opinion lol)! Every time I picked up Dreams of Ruin I couldn't wait to see where the story progressed... to the point where I held my breath, smiled from ear to ear, gasped, and sobbed along with the characters... To the point where I most definitely binged the last 10 or so chapters because the story was sooooo good!! B.R.A.V.O. EMMA 👏 and THANK YOU for the ARCs... I am genuinely grateful to have been witness to your talent with words! Never stop writing!

[Jenna Gilmore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Emma Noyes and Wednesday Books for providing me with an ARC of this book to read and review!

Wow. Can I just say that and that’s all I need to convince you to read this?

Dreams of Ruin is the exciting conclusion to the Soul of Shadow trilogy by Emma Noyes. Three days after the Trial, Charlie faces an unsettling truth: she’s become the thing she once hated. She now has to come to terms with her new self, figure out why Elias is suddenly acting like she doesn’t exist, and also figure out how to stop Odin from destroying the Seal protecting humans from Asgard. It’s a lot. But it’s an amazing story with the best ending, I don’t think I have any notes.

Charlie’s story feels very complete, as does Elias’s. At the same time, their story together fits and feels complete by the end. While I do wish we could see a bit more of the side characters and their development, I think the “off-screen” development worked for them as well.

I flew through this book, and I’m so sad it’s all over. Guess I just have to reread!


Rating: 4.9/5

Recommend? Absolutely!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press & Wednesday Books for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

This is the final installment in the Soul of Shadow trilogy and we are thrust back into the world. This series weaves Norse mythology with a compelling story of a young woman discovering who she is. Charlie, our main character, has just come off the Trials of the last book, and is adjusting to some very major changes to her life.

I think Charlie is a well-written character but the plot of this last book underplays her strengths and makes her seem like someone who is more breakable and less adventurous than we have seen her be.

I also really struggled with the middle of this book. Not enough happened to keep me fully locked in. I really enjoyed the beginning and the end was amazing, but I questioned if the story was gripping enough. Noyes did a great job wrapping up the book and the many plot lines she set in motion throughout.

I was lucky enough to get arcs for this series and I’m really grateful that I got to see the entire story through.

[Jia Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was based on one of my favorite principles of Norse mythology, even the gods are people. While I wont spoil all the fun little twists that appear in the final book of this trilogy, I will say it healed a bit of my inner child to read about Loki being loved. I was a kid who read old mythology books, not the marvel versions of norse mythology but the confusingly worded ones. And Loki was a favorite because they (yes they) were a constant force of change. Lori was originally loved by the other gods, even when they happened to commit a few homicides, but then suddenly the killing of Balder because this tilting point. A story that never sat right with me as a kid. So while I know this story is about Charlie I think I read it for loki. I read it for me when I was 9, worried that loki felt lonely when all his friends and family turned on him.

[Jimie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This final installment in the series was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, the intensity pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The character development really stands out—everyone feels like they’ve grown in meaningful ways, shaped by everything they’ve been through.

One of my favorite parts was the unpredictability. Just when you think you know where things are headed, the story shifts and keeps you on your toes. The humor woven throughout adds a nice balance, breaking up the heavier moments without taking away from the overall impact.

The ending felt satisfying, but also leaves just enough open for interpretation. It makes you wonder if there’s more to come in this world—and honestly, I’d be more than ready to dive back in if there is.

Thank you Emma and her team yet again for this ARC.

I am so sad this series is over. But I totally know I will do a reread (I already reread the first two before this book)

This book has my heart so much. It gave my heart so so so many warm and fuzzies. I got so attached to multiple characters.

This book is such a good rep for anxiety, and learning to accept yourself. It has such strong courageous character that can teach all of us a little something. The characters teach us how to bear what in our hearts. Ugh so so good. I cannot wait to return to this series in a reread. You will not go wrong picking up this series.

[Crystal Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a stunning conclusion to the series. The Norse mythology and modern day integration had me hooked. I was skeptical about jumping back into the YA genre but I can say this ranked up there with Cruel Prince for me. While the plot wrapped up a bit quickly, it left room for more books on the other characters in the story. I did get kind of annoyed at the back and forth on Elias and Charlie’s romance, but overall the storyline was enough for me to give it 5 stars.

[Makenna McNaughton · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book in the series and im happy to say that it didn't disappoint. It jumped right in where book. 2 left off, which I appreciated. I love every kind of mythology, so I was excited to dive back in to this series and see just how everything played out with Loki and his children. I liked that we got to see more of the family dynamics and drama. Theres plenty of drama, angst, and action for everyone in this book!

[Melissia Aubin-przybyla · Rating 2 out of 5]

I went into this book so excited. But it felt so slow and I was wondering how it was going to end if it was so slow. I got bored and just skipped most of the story and just read the dialogue. Then towards the end I read some more but even in the heat of the battle I got bored and just skimmed to the ending. I really enjoyed the characters. Kind of upset over the ending regarding Loki
Thanks for the ARC

This book was a perfect wrap up to an excellent series. I am going to miss these characters so much. Charlie with her huge heart and Elias with his cocky sarcasm. The banter and dialogue between the two was once again hilarious.

I loved that the main message of this book is to love every part of yourself, even the not so great parts. And it’s only when you try to hide those parts that you become less than.

I highly recommend this series
