• BOOK REVIEW •

NEW ARC COMING OUT NEXT MONTH!!
Date of Release : 18TH SEPT 2026

Date : 18th August 2026
Book : The Arcane God (Omnis 3)
Author : M.M Parks
Genre : Romantasy

Now I can’t tell you how much I loved book 1 the most which was a great introduction into the characters and I’ve been a huge fan of this indie author since then. This book in particular is still about Ena and Ty but it’s also about the feud between witches and daemons which has finally come to a boil in this 3rd book of the series hence forcing everyone to pick a side. Well that is before everything else collapses around them.

This book in particular has more POVs from multiple characters and it was fun having more character building on Steig too which made me real happy. I know this books main genre is dark fantasy but I do think I’ve always felt is was more of a Romantasy 😃 If you love witches and daemons in love then you ought to check this series out!

Thank you to the author for giving me the chance to ARC read and review all three books over the years! ❤️

Thanks to MM Parks for the ARC! 💕
I love this series so much, so I was super excited to get the chance to read the finale before release!

And what a finale! Even though the first book remains my favorite, this one was also so so good!
I love her writing and world-building. It makes it super easy to dive right into it!

There was so much happening and getting to know the Styrx was such an exciting addition to the whole story. They have a very interesting way of life, god and a new magic system.
The character growth was amazing. Ty and Ena were always my favorites, but that really changed in this book. I mean Turner?!?! I love him so so much! I really hope for a Turner spin-off!

This was a phenomenal finale for this series and I really wish it wasn’t over!
For me, the end came a little too fast and it felt too easy. But at the same time I was happy that for once something came easy because Ty and Ena really deserve some easiness in their life now!

Turner and Styrx spin-off, pleeeeaseee 🥺🥰

[Susanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book opens immediately after The Unknown Daemon: a pregnant Ena, her husband Ty, and their friend Turner are crossing the brutal, unmapped Chasm Mountains, sent by a seer's warning to find Ty's long-estranged mother and a group of "Omnis" worshippers before a foretold danger catches up to them. A river crossing goes wrong early on, and the search for what happened splits the party's fortunes for weeks, forcing Ena and Turner to keep moving without answers while grief and a string of strange new symptoms take hold of Ena. What starts as a survival trek turns into something bigger once they reach the other side of the mountains: real answers about who Ty's mother is, why she left, and a discovery about Ena's own bloodline that reframes her cravings, her Gift, and her marriage to Ty all at once.

Back underground, the Underworld hasn't stood still. King Cole's grip on power is fraying, and the people who love Ty and Ena are working, at real personal risk, to make sure there's still something worth returning to. The back half of the book pulls every thread home: the political and blood-debt reckoning with Cole that's been building since book one, and a multi-party negotiation that has to invent, from scratch, a place in this world for a family, and a people, that fit none of its existing rules.

Character Development
Ena spends this book discovering she isn't only what she's always believed herself to be. A hidden third bloodline surfaces through an escalating, genuinely frightening set of blood cravings, and the horror of it isn't abstract: the sharpest early scene in the book is Ena catching herself mid-intrusive-thought, calculating how she could hurt someone she loves to get more blood. That fear of turning into a danger to the people, and eventually the child, she loves most runs under everything else she does this book. Her resolution doesn't crown her queen; daemonic succession structurally has no room for a witch on the throne, and rather than let that be a defeat, the book has her invent an entirely new role for herself, one built on the actual skill she's spent three books demonstrating: standing between people who don't trust each other and making them listen anyway.

Ty spends most of the book physically apart from the story's center of gravity, and that separation does real character work rather than just plot work: it forces both him and Ena to prove they can function, and grieve, without each other before the book will let them reunite. When he does return, his arc closes on a more honest reason for his lifelong reluctance to be king than simple protectiveness of Ena. He admits, plainly, that kingship has always meant suppressing the witch half of himself the Underworld never wanted to see, and that the exhaustion of hiding that, not just fear for his family's safety, is what's kept him running from the throne. Learning the real, ugly truth about how his father died gives him closure without pretending grief resolves cleanly just because the facts finally arrived.

Turner gets the most genuine expansion of anyone in the cast. He's spent two books as comic relief and loyal third wheel, and this book finally gives him his own stakes: a real, unplanned relationship with a stryx woman that catches even him off guard, and an insecurity underneath his easy humor that he says out loud almost as an aside, that he doesn't expect anyone to actually choose him. His claiming by his mate isn't played as a punchline for long before the book lets him be honestly scared of it, and honestly happy too.

Kaya, Ty's estranged mother, could easily have been either a saint or a plot device explaining her own absence away. Instead she's someone visibly still working through the guilt of the choice she made decades ago, offering real help without demanding forgiveness for it, and the book lets Ty's anger at her sit unresolved for a long stretch rather than rushing a tidy reconciliation.

Max, the stryx elder and Kaya's own mate, functions as both the book's exposition engine for stryx culture and a quiet mirror for Ena and Ty's situation: his own decades-old bloodmatch bond to Kaya is the lived precedent that makes Ena's diagnosis legible, and his patience in explaining an entire foreign belief system to strangers without condescension is one of the book's warmer running notes.

Xena, Ty's half-sister, is blunt to the point of rudeness for most of the book, and that bluntness turns out to be a genuine character trait rather than a flaw to be softened; she claims Turner as her mate on her own terms and defends the choice in a room full of daemons without flinching. Steig and Lara, a married daemon couple caught directly under Cole's thumb, carry a real subplot of divided loyalty and quiet sabotage: Steig is sent to hunt Ena and Ty and instead chooses to become their spy at real risk to his own family, and Lara turns out to be the sharpest political mind in the room once the book reaches its negotiating table, engineering the compromise that lets Ena stay without breaking daemonic law. Zak, previously a flat loyalist enforcer, gets a real complication when it's revealed he followed Cole more out of fear than actual belief, and that he was, once, a decent uncle to Ty before Cole's reign hardened him. Nial, an elder daemon freed from his collar, becomes the negotiation's institutional memory, and Mel, the Occidens seer, closes the book with a piece of prophecy about Ena and Ty's son that's unsettling enough to leave real tension hanging into whatever the series does next.

Themes
The book's central argument is that survival sometimes means becoming something you didn't choose to be, and that the right response to that isn't to force it back into an old shape but to build a new one. Ena's stryx heritage, Ty's mixed daemon-witch nature, and the book's eventual political solution are all versions of the same idea: existing categories (witch or daemon, queen or nothing) fail these characters, and the honest answer is to invent a category that actually fits, rather than making a person smaller to fit an old one.

Running underneath that is a real interrogation of inherited harm and what's owed for it. Kaya's absence from Ty's life, Cole's decades of cruelty, the blood spilled in the opening Ascension attack: none of it gets waved away with an easy apology. The book insists that reckoning with the past and building a livable future aren't the same task, and it refuses to let one substitute for the other. And running through both of those is the trilogy's closing argument about power itself: that lasting peace between historically hostile groups comes from pragmatic, patient negotiation, not from a single decisive battle or a marriage fixing everything by itself.

Writing Style and Effectiveness
The book's real technical achievement is its handling of point of view. This isn't the dual Ena/Ty structure the earlier volumes used; a full read shows the story rotating through at least five perspectives, Ena, Ty, Turner, Steig, and Greya, sometimes jumping backward in time with an explicit "X weeks ago" marker to reveal what was happening underground while the mountain party had no way of knowing. That's a genuinely harder structure to pull off than a simple dual-POV alternation, and for most of the book it works: the reader gets to feel the dramatic irony of Steig's compromised loyalty, or Greya's political bind as new matriarch, while Ena and Ty remain in the dark about it, which raises the stakes of their eventual reunion with information they don't have.

The prose itself stays in the same plain, functional, dialogue-forward register the series has used from book one, with banter still doing a lot of the emotional heavy lifting between explicit scenes. Where the book earns real craft credit is in its willingness to sit inside body horror without flinching; the stryx Change sequences in particular are rendered with a level of physical specificity that makes an inherently strange piece of worldbuilding feel visceral rather than merely described. The dialogue-heavy method of delivering worldbuilding (long stretches of Max or Kaya explaining stryx custom to Ena and Turner) is efficient but occasionally tips into information dump, especially in the middle third when several major revelations (bloodmatch, stryx heritage, the Aquilo-seer legend all being literally true) land back to back in the same handful of scenes.

Conclusion
The Arcane God closes its trilogy by refusing the easiest version of its own ending. It could have handed Ena a crown; instead it makes her build a role that's never existed before, and that choice is the book's real thesis in miniature: that surviving impossible circumstances sometimes means inventing new structures rather than squeezing into old ones. The five-way rotating POV is the book's most genuine formal achievement, letting the Underworld's slow-motion political collapse run in parallel with the mountain survival story without ever losing the thread of either, and the side-cast finally gets room to be more than furniture, particularly Turner, whose fear of being unloved gives the book's lightest character real weight, and Zak, whose loyalty gets a real, human explanation instead of a villain's shrug.

Where it's weaker is in how quickly some of its heaviest stakes get resolved once the plot needs them to. The bloodlust subplot spends real time building the horror of Ena possibly losing her mind and hurting someone she loves, then resolves cleanly the moment Ty returns and offers his blood, which softens tension that had been built up as potentially fatal. The stryx culture itself, while rendered with real physical detail, leans more on familiar shifter-and-blood-bond genre furniture (mates for life, a partner's blood as literal sustenance) than the daemon Underworld's more inventive social structure managed in book two. And as a trilogy closer, it leans hard on two books' worth of continuity; a reader arriving without them would be lost inside the first few chapters. Set against other dark fantasy romance trilogy closers, what distinguishes this one is its refusal to end on a battle: the climax is a negotiating table, not a sword fight, and the book's real accomplishment is making that table feel as high-stakes as any fight scene would have.

Evaluation
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Writing Style: ★★★★☆ (4/5): the five-way rotating POV structure is genuinely ambitious and mostly lands; still plain, commercial prose overall, with some information-dump stretches in the middle third
Characters: ★★★★★ (5/5): real growth for Ena, Ty, Turner, Zak, and Lara, closing with a genuinely non-formulaic resolution instead of a predictable crowning
World-Building: ★★★★☆ (4/5): the stryx culture is textured but leans on familiar genre tropes; the political payoff across all three peoples lands well here
Spice Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5): frequent, explicit scenes across the book, including some kink content, comparable to book two rather than book one's lighter touch.
Trigger warnings: profanity, violence, death, animal death/dismemberment, grief/loss, pregnancy, childbirth, mental health issues (including anxiety, panic attacks, and postpartum depression), and explicit sexual content.

Recommended for readers who've already read The Knowing Witch and The Unknown Daemon and want the trilogy's central tension resolved in a genuinely inventive way rather than a predictable crowning; readers who enjoy a dark fantasy romance closer built on negotiated political change instead of a final battle; readers who want an ensemble cast where the side characters get real arcs, not just support roles; not a good entry point for new readers, since this book assumes full familiarity with the first two.

Overall: This was an ok conclusion to the trilogy that wrapped up the major storylines while setting up MM’s next series. I appreciated seeing character growth, and enjoyed a few of the newer relationships that developed. However, the pacing, excessive number of POVs, separation of the MCs, and heavy telling and not showing kept this finale from reaching its potential.

The book opens with the MCs traveling together to reach the MMC's mother. The pacing starts off a little slower because of the journey, but thankfully the traveling doesn't consume half the book. They arrive within the first third of the book, which kept the story moving. Turner also traveled alongside the MCs, so his POV was naturally woven into that storyline.

One thing I really appreciated was the MFC's growth. In book two, I struggled with her immaturity, especially with her juvenile break up with the MMC, lack of communication, and willingness to keep her pregnancy from the MMC without giving him any choice in the matter. I lost some trust in her because of that decision. Thankfully, she showed much more maturity in this book, including increased communication and I really appreciated the development. She also really pushed the MMC to grow because he was so avoidant in this book.

The MFC's sister also had a slower start, but once her storyline merged with Steig's, it became more engaging. I enjoyed how intense their first meeting was before they ultimately decided to become allies.

Steig continued to be one of my favorite POVs. He's incredibly loyal and compassionate while trying to navigate an impossible situation. I always looked forward to his chapters.

I also appreciated the postpartum representation. Pregnancy sucks, postpartum is difficult, and losing one sense of identity is always a hard journey. I love that all of this was represented in this book and was nothing but supportive of the MFC during this.

Xena and Turner were another highlight for me. I loved that Xena was the assertive one in pursuing the relationship and intimacy with Turner. She was direct, confident, and continually showed Turner that he was worthy of being loved.


Critiques:
Although I generally enjoy multiple POVs, there were simply too many in this book. It often felt like there was no priority to whose story was most important so everyone received their own POV chapters. Rather than adding depth, the constant perspective shifts distracted from the overarching story. On top of that, several chapters jumped between different time periods, which only added to the confusion.

My biggest criticism, though, was separating the main couple yet again. In book one, the MMC left town for years. In book two, they were separated because of what I felt was a very juvenile breakup. Then, in book three, they're separated once again. I will give the author credit that each separation happened differently, but by the final book of the trilogy, I was ready to see the MCs together. The marketing also heavily implied that the MCs were united, so reading chapter after chapter of the MFC believing the MMC was dead was pointless. They don't reunite until about 41% into the book. While they aren't separated immediately, it happens fairly early, meaning roughly 22% of the book, the final book in the series, the main couple was apart, again. By that point, it just felt repetitive rather than emotionally impactful.

Along those same lines, I was disappointed by how quickly the MFC emotionally accepted the MMC's death. I'm not referring to her search of the MMC, she absolutely exhausted herself trying to find him. What disappointed me was that once she reached safety with his mother, she quickly shifted into accepting that she'd never see her husband again, despite never finding a body. I understand people grieve differently and that she needed a way to cope, but I personally wanted to see her continue holding onto hope. Having just finished Catherine Cowles' newest unfinished series, where the characters refused to stop searching for Nova without definitive proof, the contrast here was especially noticeable.

Another issue was how much of the book consisted of characters educating one another. For the final installment, I didn't particularly enjoy reading extensive explanations of an entirely new belief system. The MCs and the Stryx repeatedly explained their cultures, worldviews, and magic systems to each other. Often, we'd read one conversation only to have another character repeat the exact same information to another character. For example, the MMC would learn something from his stepfather and then later relay it to the MFC and Turner. Another example, the MFC would learn something from the MMC or the Stryx and then repeat it all again to her sister. This happened over and over, making everything repetitive.

The story also relied heavily on telling instead of showing. Many significant stretches of time were skipped with statements like "months later," but we rarely experienced what happened during those weeks or months. It often felt as though very little actually occurred besides the MFC progressing through her pregnancy. One example was the MMC's relationship with his mother. We were told he remained angry with her for months, refusing to even call her "Mom." Yet after one brief conversation, he was suddenly hugging her and calling her Mom again. The emotional transition felt abrupt because we never witnessed the gradual healing. Similarly, Steig's return to the Underworld was summarized rather than shown, which made those emotional moments feel less impactful.

Lastly, the modern language occasionally pulled me out of the fantasy setting. Phrases like "full stop" and "need to chill" felt out of place and reminded me I was reading a contemporary voice rather than being immersed in a fantasy world.

Favourite quotes:

“If you need this, it’s yours. My blood, my heart, my life is yours. Always has been, always will be.”

“Struggling with everything – with all the ways your life has changed, and everything that has been asked of you – it does not make you weak. It makes you human.”


ARC Review (no spoilers).
And the final book of the trilogy is here! (SEPT 18!)

I didn't like how the 3rd-person POV was used (or rather, wasn't used to its full potential) in Books 1 & 2, but here it got so much better!

The story and the mission are absolutely interesting and captivating. With new characters and a 3rd race of people, there is a lot more to discover about this world and its history.
But unfortunately, there were a few "buts" for me that made it difficult to fully enjoy this book.

At times, I felt trapped with Ena. I get it, she goes through big and wonderful changes, becoming a mother and learning more about her abilities and heritage, but still...
And because of that, at times the plot felt like it was dragging, while at the same time a lot of time was slipping by and important details were being left out. The book felt both rushed and slow at the same time.

I would have loved to know more about the 3rd race, the magic and life in the Underworld after the rebellion. The multi-POV could also have shown the final battle from different angles, which I think would have added so much to the story.

And the ending... It felt more like a seed for what is to come next than a well-earned and awaited conclusion to the trilogy and to Ena and Ty's story.
The "master and good girl" dynamic didn't work for me here either. It felt too flat, like it existed more in words than in actions. Though the spice scenes were good.

What I did like were two things.
First, the symbolism and meaning behind Ena's transformation - her becoming more, finding herself and finally finding her right place.
And the Stryx. Their belief about change - leaving parts of your old self behind every time. I thought that was beautiful!
And Turner. I hope he'll get the opportunity to tell his own story one day, because he was my favourite character. He's sweet, kind, funny and protective. I didn't feel like he got nearly enough screen time.

Anyway, my curiosity was definitely satisfied by finally knowing how the trilogy ends, but I can't say I'm satisfied as a reader or as a fan of this universe.

Thank you to the author and @booksirens for this ARC!

⭐3/5 | 🌶 4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 STARS

Okay… this series just keeps getting MORE chaotic, magical and addictive.

Ena, Ty and Turner head across the Chasm Mountains and right from the beginning you knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Between the volatile storms, dangerous terrain and the mysterious people worshipping Omnis, there wasn’t a moment where I felt like these three were safe and was constantly expecting something to happen. Ena’s delicate condition made it so much worse and the weird cravings!!!

Watching Ena struggle with these strange new urges while trying to keep herself—and everyone around her—safe brought so much tension. The question of whether she can control what’s happening to her had me turning pages because I needed to know what would happen next and what was going on.

And Ty - the Underworld responsibilities are literally calling and he’s basically like, “No thanks.” Ena comes first - swoon. Meanwhile Turner is losing his mind over it and thinks Ty has let everyone down. Their dynamic continues to be one of my favourites.

With the bond to Iblis finally broken, the relationship between witches and daemons is more fractured than ever. Greya stepping into her role as the new matriarch of the Auster Coven was fab and I loved seeing her try to carve out a new future for witches while Steig was caught between his family and his loyalty to the King of the Underworld.

There’s danger, secrets, shifting loyalties, magic, chaos and SO many questions that left me desperate for more.

This one definitely had me emotionally invested, and just when I thought things couldn’t get more complicated… THEY DID.

Magical chaos
Dangerous journeys
Morally complicated characters
Witches & daemons
Questionable decisions
Tension that keeps building
A story that makes you NEED the next book

[Isabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Received a copy of the ARC and i’m immensely grateful as I do love book 1 & 2 so much!

Book 3 rounded off the trilogy nicely, though it is not my favorite book of the series. I understand the author’s intention on focusing on the journey and struggles of a pregnant woman in this book, but i did find the story a bit draggy and dull at the first half of the book because the story was not moving much at the beginning. The story only picked up its pace at 60-70% of the book, where it’s steering towards the big ending and I find that disappointing where there could be more focus on details of their strategy to overthrow cole, the building of different characters (such as Greya & Perse, Xena, Max etc) or even how Greya cleverly persuaded the matriarchs etc. The characters (especially the new ones introduced in this book) fell a bit flat for me and i personally felt their dynamics could be explored further. Perhaps i expected to see more from Ena after she has given birth because she was so smart and brilliant in book 1 & 2. But again, perhaps this was purposely done to highlight her transformation into a mother? I’m not sure but i felt that Greya’s character showed more power and shone in this book more than Ena. Overall, this was a pretty safe and solid book and i did enjoyed reading it.

That being said, i’m happy to be rewarded with a Turner x Xena chapter as well as a Steig x Lara chapter, which brings a refreshing change to the story. I am also very curious about Laden’s story and will not hesitate to pick up the new spin off book when it is released!

[Liz | ᥫ᭡reakawayreads · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Arcane God was a satisfying conclusion to the Omnis trilogy, even if it wasn’t my favorite of the three books. I’ve genuinely enjoyed this series and the world M.M. Parks created, and I’m definitely sad to say goodbye to these characters.

I really enjoyed getting to know the Styrx and learning more about their culture, magic, and place in the larger story. The world continued to expand in some really interesting ways, and I liked seeing how everything started coming together.

Turner was easily one of my favorite parts of this book. His character development really stood out, and I found myself far more invested in him than I expected. Honestly, I would happily read a Turner spin-off. 👀

Ena’s journey was a little different this time around as she navigated pregnancy and motherhood. Some of those moments were incredibly emotional, and I appreciated seeing this side of her, although I did miss the sharp, brilliant version of Ena we saw in the first two books. I also loved seeing how much Ty and Ena’s relationship had matured.

My biggest issue was the pacing. The beginning felt slower than I would have liked, and I wanted more time spent developing some of the newer characters, the plans against Cole, and certain aspects of the magic system and lore.

That said, the character arcs and emotional moments made this a worthwhile finale. The ending wrapped up the main storylines well, and while I’m not quite ready to let this world go, I’m happy with where everyone ended up.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to the author for my advanced copy. This was the perfect conclusion to the Omnis series!

This book follows Ty and Ena as they flee from the Daemon world after finding out that Ena is pregnant and they’ll never be accepted by the current regime. Along the way Ty and Ena come across people known as the Stryx. Meeting them sheds light on both Ena and Ty’s backgrounds and parentage. There are many new revelations that are difficult for Ena to deal with in addition to her new baby and postpartum body.

I’ve never read a more realistic portrayal of pregnancy (well, maybe except the blood drinking part), childbirth, and postpartum. All the little details were included, which I appreciated and the author showed how much new mothers struggle not only with their bodies, but also their sense of self and purpose in life.

Ty was such a huge support system for Ena. He went from a major red flag in books 1-2 to the most loving supportive husband in this book. It was nice to see his character growth. And it was nice seeing Ena’s changes too.

I also loved seeing the other couple’s POVs and love stories too. Turner got his happy ending and I’m so happy for him. That was one of my favorite parts of this book.

I loved the new info Ena learned about herself and I’m so happy to know that the spinoff series will be about Ena and Ty’s child!

“There’s my viper.”

Ena, Ty, and Turner are on the run. Over the river and through the woods (and gigantic mountains), to be precise. As a witch and daemons, they must consult with a third race of beings with magic, and hope that these people can help them. And as Ena, Ty, and Turner look towards the horizon with hope, they must also look within themselves too. For the past is important for their futures, and chaos and peace hang in the balance.

Y’all, The Arcane God was such a wonderful conclusion to the Omnis series (book one is The Knowing Witch and book two is The Unknown Daemon)! The multi-POVs and character growth was so satisfying. Turner, a beloved side character, stole the show for me! This ending to an exciting and unique series of gods-blessed magic for witches, daemons, and shifters, shows the sacrifices people will make for those they love, how the past determines the future, and how motherhood can be equally exhilarating and exhausting. I love these characters and this story so much, and I know you will too! ♥️

The Arcane God releases on September 18, so you still have enough time to read book 1 & 2 before release day! Thank you so much, MM Parks, for having me on your ARC team! 💜💙♥️

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you to M.M Parks for the ARC. I enjoyed The Arcane God which is Book 3 of the Omni Series.

We leave off where we ended in The Unknown Daemon and while the pacing was slower in this book compared to the first two, the storyline continued to be unique and I appreciated how relatable the characters were.

I loved Ena and Ty’s relationship from the first two books so that was no surprise in this one!
Learning about the Stryx heritage was interesting and Turner and Xena were a nice addition to the storyline!

My favorite part of the book was the representation of Ena’s postpartum journey. If you are mother you understand the change that happens mentally, physically and emotionally while pregnant and after you give birth. I think it’s so important to talk about and I appreciated Ena’s inner monologue and strength.

I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed as I expected a more climactic conclusion after the build up but overall I think it still wrapped up nicely in the end. I’m interested to see where the author takes us in this world next!

[Chelsea Cortright · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Arcane God brings the Omnis trilogy to a satisfying close! Overall, this was a strong finish to the story. The character arcs were definitely the highlight here—their individual journeys and personal storylines were wrapped up neatly, giving the main cast the resolution they deserved after everything they’ve been through.
My main critique comes down to the worldbuilding and pacing. While we get introduced to additional magical groups, much of the world's lore—specifically the overall magic system and the gods? If that what they are —felt more told than truly shown. Even by the end, I found myself a bit confused on how the overarching god(s) and magic mechanics actually function.
That being said, if you’re reading this series primarily for the characters and their personal journeys, the finale delivers where it counts. It ties up the core plot threads nicely and makes for a solid, enjoyable conclusion to the trilogy

[Claire Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

The knowing witch and unknown daemon were up there with my favourite reads last year and the third book did not disappoint. I was truly lucky to get an ARC.
I am genuinely sad to say goodbye to the characters however the ending is exactly how it should be, truly.
There were definitely some tears shed during the birth representation chapters and the complex emotions depicted so well from Ena’s prospective post partum.
It was nice to see Ty and Ena’s relationship evolve in such a mature way and really refreshing that their relationship isn’t a toxic back and forth.
Also….. turner!! Oh he’s just the best and finally got his girl.
Compared with the first two books I did struggle a little with the pacing, hence the 4 stars rather than 5. However I feel this was probably because there was so much to tie up before the trilogy’s end.
All in all I just love these characters and the amazing witchy/daemon/stryx world in which they live.

Review of advance copy received from author.

ARC review! I loved The Knowing Witch and was excited to ARC read for books 2&3. While I enjoyed the overall storyline of this trilogy, I felt that there was more telling than showing in The Arcane God, which impacted the pacing for me and made it hard to feel as immersed. The overarching message of the plot is quite beautiful nonetheless, and it was great to finally read the conclusion.

I enjoyed the new world building almost as much as the witches’ in book 1, and I wished we had seen more of some of the new female characters.

Ena’s plot line was done quite realistically and sensitively IMO. I am personally not at all bothered by this “trope” and on the contrary find it noteworthy that the author explicitly wanted to include this representation.

[MandaLin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Arcane God was a thoroughly enjoyable conclusion to a series that has captivated me from the beginning, even though I still can't explain why. There is just something about this world and these characters that kept pulling me back.

Ena continued to struggle for most of the book with figuring out just where she belongs and that aspect of her character has always resonated with me. I appreciated seeing that come full circle and her realizing that she wasn't meant to "fit" like everyone else.

Ena and Ty's relationship was an another highlight for me. The love and encouragement they give each other throughout this book genuinely made me swoon and I really enjoyed watching their relationship continue to grow. I also appreciated getting Turner's POV and seeing his relationship develop (even if it was more off page than I would have liked). I think Turner added light-heartedness to this book that was very much needed.

I'll admit I wasn't thrilled about Ena and Ty being separated... yet again, but I understood the purpose behind it, and the anxiety of waiting for them to find their way back to each other definitely kept me invested.

Overall, a satisfying ending to a series I've become surprisingly attached to.

Thank you M.M. Parks for the opportunity to read an eARC of The Arcane God. My review is my honest opinion. I truly enjoyed the journey.

The Arcane God delivered rich storytelling, fascinating lore, and characters who brought real emotion to the heart of the story. I especially enjoyed the political intrigue and growing unrest between witches and demons. Their shared world felt fresh to me, as I hadn’t previously read a fantasy where the two mingled so closely.

I went into this without having read the first two books in the trilogy. While I never felt completely lost, it was clear that longtime readers would have a deeper connection to the characters, their journeys, and the closure offered by this finale. The pacing felt a little uneven in places, but the imaginative lore and emotional stakes kept me invested.

Overall, this was an engaging, well written romantasy with a distinctive supernatural world.

Thank you to the author and BookSirens for the ARC.

I am super thankful I was chosen as an ARC reader for this entire series. This book was a fitting conclusion to the Omni Series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This was not my favorite in the series, but it is still an essential read as it ties up all the loose ends (and foreshadows spin offs).
I really enjoyed how realistic and relatable Ena's journey was through grief, pregnancy, and post partum. I thought it was extremely well written. The world building continues at a high level in this story as we venture into a new part of their world and meet a new group of magical individuals.
I loved having points of view from a multitude of characters. Since this is the third book, you know all these characters well enough that having multiple points of view isn't overwhelming; instead, it allows the reader to get a fuller view of the story. I rated it 4 stars, and not 5, because it was a bit of a slower read for me and the bar was set so high with The Knowing Witch. Overall though, fantastic series!!

A great conclusion to the trilogy. I found the pacing well done and really enjoyed the introduction of the Stryx, and seeing more of Turners character. The ending was well tied up, and satisfying for all the characters I've come to love. Really delighted with the whole trilogy, and so grateful to Melissa for including me in her street team!

I'm not a fan of the pregnancy trope, and must admit was disappointed in book 2 when Ena got pregnant - but I actually really enjoyed how it was tackled in this, with a realistic and refreshing look at pregnancy, labour, breastfeeding! The labour was brutal and very similar to my own (apart from in a hospital lol) so I found it quite cathartic.

I really enjoyed continuing Ty and Ena’s story and seeing how their relationship and love developed in the midst of survival and traveling. I loved how honest they are with each other and how completely they accept one another.

The different POVs also added a nice change of pace and brought some lightness to the story. Turner really showed a whole new side of himself, and I absolutely loved that.

I felt like the story had everything I could want: the witchy atmosphere, the demons from the Underworld and their cunning ways, and the new stryx. Somehow, all these elements came together so well.

And now I’m really curious—will there ever be a separate book about Ty and Ena’s son? I’d love to see how he grows up and how he might change their world personally. ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (rounded up)

I can't believe its over 😭

I really loved seeing Turner finally get the love he deserved through Xena 🥹❤️

And the birthing + postpartum representation? 👏👏
Showing the reality of how so many new mothers actually feel was such a clever and refreshing addition. Honestly, more of this please!

The ending was built up really well and I was happy with where everything landed. And that arrangement between the leaders of the different magical worlds? LOVE. ✨

As for the ending…

Goodbye, Cole. 👋🙂

And apparently we’re not completely saying goodbye to this world because there’s a Laden spin-off duology coming, following Ty and Ena’s son… 👀

So while The Omnis may be finished, it looks like we’re not quite done yet! 😀

I love this spooky world! The difference races and magic are so fun and the addition of the newest group on the block has been so cool and gross. I loved all the little tie ins to the Greek mythology inspiration without it just feeling like reading Greek mythology straight up. I actually really enjoyed the pregnancy trope (hot take) with those around me experiencing motherhood in so many different ways I really feel like this story will connect with so many. I love Xena she may be a new character but I think she may have been my favorite from the series.

I can’t believe it’s finally the conclusion… or is it 👀

The closing of Ty and Ena's story is beautiful. I love the following of Ena's pregnancy & her struggles with ppd because it is so REAL and raw . Lara in my opinion deserved to rule cause she's a bad bit** and the daemons are definitely a patriarchal society that she didnt belong in but otherwise 5 stars hands down lol. I really loved getting the multiple POV'S not just Ty and Ena but a little bit of everyone cause it felt very all knowing while also not.
I look forward to the possibility of a future spinoff in this universe .


I received an ARC E-BOOK copy of The Arcane God, all opinions in this review are my own.

M.M. Parks really achieved an amazing goal!
With The Arcane God, the third and last book of the Omni’s Saga, Park’s has really finished with a bang.

The trials and tribulations continued and increased, and I was almost broken by some parts of the story, but by Omnis, the characters pulled us all through.

I really advise you to pick these amazing books up now!

Again, I can’t thank enough to the amazing author, not only for the ARC opportunity, but especially for sharing this amazing story and characters with all of us!

I am happily leaving this review voluntarily and I can’t wait for the “next chapter”. 😜

M.M. Parks does it again! Back to Omnis I go! So happy to be a part of the ARC team.

Ena, Ty, and Turner’s story continues through their most challenging journey yet! This book had me questioning everything and feeling ALL the feels for these characters, especially Ena. Our girl was put through it.

The multiple POVs gave us more character development, different perspectives, and the depth we needed for this story. Including the extra spice we all want.

I absolutely loved this book and this series, and I am so sad it’s over. I highly recommend it to all my fellow romantasy readers! Very excited to see what M.M. Parks has in store for her next series!

[Mackenzie Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy cow! The ending of a very compelling trilogy!

I loved watching Ena and Ty together as they explored parenthood and learned even more about their own histories and identities.

Ty was every woman's dream husband after giving birth- supportive, loving, and reassuring.

Ena? Good lord that poor woman can't catch a break! But she continued to prove her strength and face her daily battles despite the revelations thrown her way. And despite something that shall remain Nameless but caused severe anxiety for me 😅

Loved getting more of Stieg and Lara (aka my favorite couple) as well as Turner and his new love interest.

[Trudie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Arcane God wasn’t my favorite of the trilogy, but I still enjoyed getting to meet new characters and seeing more of the world. Since the story covers such a long period of time, there were a lot of “weeks later” and “months later” moments, which sometimes made the pacing feel a little disconnected. I also felt like some of the spicy scenes were forced and came across as more cringy than enjoyable. Overall, it had some fun moments, but it didn’t quite hit the same for me as the previous books.

Thank you to the author for the ARC ❤️

📚 Arc review 📚

Wow what a fantastic end to this trilogy!

Firstly I wanna just say Tuner ❤️🫂 if I could huga frictional character I'd hug him soooo bad!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat, I can honestly say I didn't expect half of what happened in this book to happen, and some thing I expected to happen didn't but I was happy about that!

Honestly loved this trilogy definitely read these books if you haven't.

It's a story of witches and deamons like never before!!!

I can't wait to see what she writes next!!!

[Michelle Szubeczak · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow… I read the first two books in the “Omnis” series. You don’t have to read the first two books to read this 3rd one . It made the story even more amazing though. The writers style kept me wanting to know more . The suspense , the adventure and spice are high in this story . It has witches , Daemons and other new magical groups . I am excited for more books about other characters in this series. M.M.Parks did not disappoint!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you to MM Parks for the ARC copy. What a great conclusion to this series. I love reading about main characters that are at different stages in life. So many different feelings and emotions that were portrayed so beautifully and realistically.

What really stands out to me is the kindness and non judgmental acceptance of most of the characters throughout the story.

Perfect series for those who like Wiccan/witchy/ nature vibes!

[Sarah Henninger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you so much to M.M Parks for the e arc!

I’ve truly loved this world and how much it expanded throughout the 3 books. The aspect of the people on the other side of the chasm mountains was a new element to the story that I enjoyed.

There is a trope that happens at the end of the second book I don’t normally love but I honestly thought it was portrayed well in this last installment. The character growth of our main character was also really nice to see for the last book.

The ending left me wanting a little bit more since it felt a tad rushed but I did still feel satisfied overall. I love a good witchy story and have loved this series, I highly recommend !
