Sapere #3
Scarlet Wars
The secret is out.
Magi no longer hide in the shadows, and the world is breaking fast.
Fear spreads. Alliances shatter. Magi choose sides as humans prepare for war, and the spark holding the match at the edge has a name: Emma Thompson.
She's powerful. Watched. Feared.
Hunted for reasons she doesn’t understand, Emma’s life fractures, leaving her with more grief, more trauma than she ever believed she could survive.
In the wreckage, she’s forced to choose:
A bond needed to endure what’s coming.
Or the love her heart refuses to deny.
A choice that will either save the people she loves…or ignite the war to come.
Scarlet Wars, the third book in the Sapere Series, is a gripping romantasy filled with rising war, forbidden love, and impossible choices—where magic stands exposed and love defies every rule.

My gosh! This series is so underrated! Granted, Sorcha is an indie author, an amazing one at that. I haven’t felt this way about a romantasy series in a good while. The books just kept getting better and better as I went on (trust the process)! I swear, that war had me so stressed out. I was on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the plot so much too!
The pacing was perfect, the characters were lovable and emotionally layered, and the story was so engaging. There are missions, scheming, politics, and unraveling secrets. I couldn’t stop reading. I want more!
I absolutely loved Caden and Emma together. Their romance was so angsty, heart-stopping, beautiful, and devastating. The push Emma gives was so understandable, and Caden’s pull was irresistibly sweet. The ending of the book broke my heart.
And James… wow. I’m so ready to read more from his POV, because what was that with you-know-who?! I’m already loving them!
I need book four! I want it!

Review of advance copy received from Author
The amount I relate to this series is too real at times. This book in particular, I cannot explain how clearly grief is represented. Sorcha gave us such raw emotion and she presented it fully while writing it beautifully.
It’s not a light read, I mean it’s about war, come on.
It’s also about being a person, those feelings we run from and have to learn to face. It’s about love, loss, fighting, and acceptance. It’s not just war, it’s everything that comes with. We have to feel the hurt to move past it and this book has a ton of character growth, where they have to learn to feel, and they are all still growing in the end.
Emotional damage guaranteed, but beyond worth it.

Honestly I needed a day to breath to write this Review after finishing the book.
It was absolutely breathtaking. I already knew I loved this writing style since Book One but i feel like I love it even more with every page I turn, every chapter. One feels really inserted into this World. The plottwists were insane from page 1 to the last page. I was sometimes sitting on my Couch with my jaw open because it was like " what ?!?!? "
I was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions during this book in particular. Honestly, i feel like drained off emotions because I want to know what happens in Book 4. So Miss author if you read this: please please please give us book 4.

#Review: *Scarlet Wars* - Sorcha Reagh - ARC [18+]
5/5✨
3.5/5🌶️
Emma, James, Caden and their friends have to live in that new reality, where they have to fight in the war that had began. Nothing was easy and each road pushed them into more complicated situations, but their determination to unravel the truth behind the purpose of that war was way stronger. Will their resilience be enough to win this war and to discover the real reason behind that world changing battle?
I was genuinely captivated by the whirlwind of events that kept on happening throughout this story. All those twists and turns were completely shocking, full of drama and uncertainty. That freaking slow burn had ruined me in the best way possible, put me back together, only to shatter me into a million pieces all over again🤭. There were so many hidden secrets which were a pivot to this entire story, some of them being completely unexpected and mind-blowing for me🫣. Everything was thought in the smallest detail by Sorcha and I was impressed by every little thing she added in this amazing book. This one was darker, more emotional, spicier, with lots of suspense and moments of complete craziness. It was so different from the other previous books, having a more fast paced plot, with so, so many nail-biting situations😨. I promise that there wasn't a dull moment in this book, each page was filled with a sort of "magic" that kept me captivated and completely immersed into this story, wanting to know more and more, and that made me keep turning those pages. Indeed, this book is quite thick, with over 700 pages, but everything was so intense that you couldn't get enough of it, craving more and more with each finished chapter. I can't say more about it without giving away spoilers, so you better start the series right now!
I'm utterly impressed by the incredible world Sorcha has created in this book and her previous ones, loving how addictive all of them are! Of course that this one has ended as well in a pretty huge cliffhanger, which has already made me crave the next book from this series😩. The "Sapere" series is a must read, being something you didn't know you needed in your life🤭.
So, so elated that I was able to be part of Sorcha's street team even from her first book, simply adoring this unbelievable world she has created in her stories. Thank you so much for offering me this ARC! You are the BEST and so much FUN!🥴😆
P.S: It was such an honor to meet you in person! Such an unreal moment for me🥹 and I had such an INCREDIBLE time with you and Julia🤗🩵.

🪄 Unique magic system
🪖 A world on the brink of war
🔥 Slow burn
🤨 No one is who you think they are
😡 Female rage and empowerment
I have been waiting on THIS version of Emma to show up. She is strong and soft, snarky and smart, a lover and a fighter but she's been through some things and I just didn't think she was mad enough about it. From the jump, Emma was done playing nice, and I loved every minute of it.
The spice was EVERYTHING. Y'all they don't call Sorcha the Goddess of Edging for nothing 😅 I love slow burn romance and we've had that for 2.5 books. And the wait was worth it 👌 I'll be honest, I wasn't super thrilled with Emma's options after the first 2 books but there was a turning point in Scarlet Wars and I was all in on her choice.
Sorcha has an uncanny ability to craft a story that completelysucks the reader in. While some play checkers, Sorcha plays chess. Her books are chunky but every single moment matters in them. Sooo many things happened that I didn't see coming and by book 3, you'd think I'd have learned my lesson and started to question things a little more but nope 😏
A few of my favorite moments:
*Emma's "take no prisoners" approach - I've been waiting on her to get mad 😤
*Emma chooses 🔥
*Caden and Sean's bombshell 💣
*Caden's birthday present to Emma 🎁
*Battle with the High Chiefs ⚔️
*THAT ENDING (which makes me want to scream into the void but I also secretly love a little torture waiting for book 4 😏)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+++++ Five stars isn't even remotely enough.
How the fuck am I supposed to review this book?
Genuinely.
I have finished it and I feel like I need several business days to recover before I can be expected to behave like a normal person again.
Five stars is nowhere near enough.
If I could give this ten stars, I would. Twenty? Absolutely. A hundred? Fine. At this point just let me keep pressing the star button until I feel emotionally compensated for what I have been put through.
I think this is quite possibly the most emotional and heartbreaking book I have ever read.
And somehow, I mean that as the biggest compliment I could possibly give it.
I've read books that have made me cry. I've read books that have broken my heart. I've read books where I've become completely obsessed with the characters and thought about them constantly when I wasn't reading.
But I genuinely don't think I've ever experienced a book quite like this one.
I felt EVERYTHING.
I cried so many times that I lost count.
Not one dramatic little tear either. I mean actual sobbing. Tears streaming down my face. Having to stop reading because I couldn't fucking see the words properly.
There were moments where my heart was absolutely bursting with happiness.
Moments where I was kicking my feet and grinning like an idiot.
Moments where I was laughing out loud.
Moments where I was furious.
Moments where I felt physically anxious because I was so desperate to know what happened next.
Moments where I just stared at the page thinking WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I JUST READ?!
And moments where I genuinely had to put the book down because I needed a minute to emotionally recover before I could carry on.
Except, obviously, I always carried on.
Because there was no fucking way I was putting this book down.
Every time I thought I understood where the story was going, it changed direction.
Every time I thought we'd finally uncovered the biggest secret, another one came crashing through the fucking ceiling.
Every time I thought surely THAT is the big twist, something else happened that made everything I thought I knew suddenly look completely different.
And that's one of the things I loved most.
The twists aren't just there for shock value. They change things.
Information you've had for hundreds of pages suddenly means something completely different. Characters you thought you understood become more complicated. Things from earlier books come back and suddenly you're questioning everything you thought you knew.
There are secrets buried inside secrets buried inside MORE FUCKING SECRETS.
At some point I stopped trusting absolutely everybody.
And yet somehow, underneath all of the shocks, magic, politics, fighting and absolute chaos, this book has so much heart.
That's what got me.
Because yes, the plot is incredible.
Yes, the world is fascinating.
Yes, the magic gets bigger and more exciting.
Yes, there were twists that made me want to launch my Kindle across the room.
But ultimately, I cared so much because I cared about these people.
Their relationships are everything.
Not just romantically, either.
The friendships. The found family. The people who choose to stand beside each other when everything goes to shit. The people who protect each other. The people who make mistakes and have to live with them. The people who finally learn to trust. The people who have spent so long carrying things alone and finally allow someone else to help carry them.
There were relationships in this book that completely changed the way I saw characters I'd known since the beginning.
There were people I gained an entirely new respect for.
There were friendships I didn't even realise I needed until they were right there in front of me.
There were moments of loyalty that absolutely fucking destroyed me.
And there was loss.
So much fucking loss.
This book does not protect your feelings.
At all.
There were moments where I genuinely wanted to bargain with the author.
Take somebody else.
Undo it.
I don't care how.
FIX IT.
And then there's the romance.
Jesus fucking Christ.
The YEARNING.
The tension.
The jealousy.
The vulnerability.
The fear.
The wanting somebody so desperately while simultaneously believing that loving them might be the worst thing you could possibly do.
The feeling of finding the person who makes you feel safe when everything else in your life is chaos.
The difference between someone wanting to protect you and someone believing they have the right to control you.
The difference between loving somebody and actually trusting them to make their own choices.
That theme runs through this entire book and I absolutely loved it.
Because this isn't just a story about romance or magic or war.
It's about choice.
Who gets to decide what's best for you?
Can somebody take away your freedom if they genuinely believe they're protecting you?
Does knowing something terrible might happen in the future give you the right to manipulate somebody's life in the present?
How much suffering can you justify if you believe it's for the greater good?
At what point does protection become control?
And if loving somebody means accepting that they might make a choice that terrifies you, do you love them enough to let them make it anyway?
Those questions are woven through everything.
And I fucking LOVED that.
Because there are characters in this book who do terrible things for reasons they genuinely believe are good.
There are people trying to save someone they love who end up hurting them.
There are people trying to prevent terrible futures who might actually be helping create them.
There are people who believe the survival of many justifies sacrificing the happiness, freedom or even lives of a few.
And then there are people who finally stand up and say:
No. You don't get to choose for me.
I could talk about it for HOURS.
And somehow, amongst all this emotional destruction, this book is also ridiculously fucking hot.
The spice was SPICING.
But what made those scenes work was everything underneath it.
The trust.
The history.
The tension that has been building forever.
The vulnerability.
The emotional intimacy.
The feeling that certain moments have been earned after everything these characters have survived together.
But then this book would give me something beautiful and apparently decide I'd been happy for long enough.
Because the emotional whiplash in this book is fucking VIOLENT.
I'd go from being ridiculously happy, to staring at the page in shock, to sobbing, to WHAT THE FUCK within about six pages.
And THE FINAL PART OF THIS BOOK?!
Absolutely fucking relentless.
I don't know what happened to the author around the 70% mark, but apparently she looked at everything she'd already put us through and thought:
Not enough.
Because from there onwards, I barely had time to recover from one revelation before another one arrived.
I was genuinely exhausted by the end.
Not bored.
Not ready for it to finish.
Emotionally exhausted because I cared THAT MUCH.
And then I reached the final chapter.
Fuck.
That.
Final.
Chapter.
I was happy.
I WAS FUCKING HAPPY.
For approximately five minutes.
I actually remember thinking that maybe, after everything this book had done to me, I was finally being allowed to breathe.
What an idiot.
Because the last chapter took my heart, which had already been broken and repaired about seventeen times throughout this book, and absolutely fucking shattered it.
I stared at the page.
I genuinely could not believe what I was reading.
And then it ended.
IT JUST FUCKING ENDED.
No epilogue.
No emotional recovery.
No little plaster for the gaping wound in my chest.
Just:
THE END.
And then the author has the AUDACITY to tell us there's no epilogue this time, only the "excruciating wait for Book IV."
EXCRUCIATING?!
AT LEAST SHE FUCKING KNOWS.
And apparently she says this GIDDILY.
Ma'am.
I am pleased that YOU are having a lovely time.
I am currently lying amongst the fragments of my emotional stability.
I have never needed the next book in a series this badly.
Because somehow, after everything this enormous book answered, I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN I STARTED WITH.
So, with absolutely no context whatsoever because I refuse to spoil this for anybody:
Does the future change?
Does Caden die?!
Does Emma forgive him? CAN she forgive him?!
WHO THE FUCK IS ROSE?!
WHO THE FUCK IS CARA AND WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON THERE?!
WHY DID SEAN AND JACKSON BOND?!
I NEED ANSWERS.
Immediately.
Yesterday, preferably.
I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to read after this.
How am I meant to calmly open another book and meet some new characters when I'M STILL EMOTIONALLY LIVING WITH THESE PEOPLE?!
This series has completely consumed me, but this book was something else.
It was romantic.
It was brutal.
It was funny.
It was devastating.
It was sexy.
It was terrifying.
It was hopeful.
It was heartbreaking.
It made me question characters I trusted, love characters I wasn't expecting to love, forgive people I didn't think I'd forgive and scream at people I desperately wanted to shake.
It made me think about love, grief, sacrifice, power, autonomy, friendship, family, morality and whether doing something for the "greater good" can ever justify destroying the people who have to pay the price for it.
And it made me feel more than I can remember a book making me feel in a very, very long time.
Actually, maybe ever.
Also, I have just realised this is the biggest review I have ever written.
And honestly? That probably says more about how much I loved this book than anything else I could say.
Normally I finish a book, write down my thoughts, give it a rating and move on.
Apparently not this time.
There was just too much to say. Too much that I loved. Too much that broke my heart. Too many moments that made me feel something. I could probably keep writing and still not properly explain what this book did to me.
So the fact that this has somehow turned into the longest review I've ever written feels very fitting.
This book didn't just get five stars and a review.
It apparently got a fucking essay.
So no.
This isn't a five-star book for me.
Five stars isn't enough.
This is one of those incredibly rare books that becomes more than a rating.
It's one of my favourite books I've ever read, if not the best.
It's possibly the most emotionally devastating book I've ever read.
And somehow, despite the tears, heartbreak and the fact that I currently want to fight the author over that ending...
I fucking loved every second of it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
But emotionally?
500 fucking stars.
Now please give me Book IV before I lose my mind.
Sorcha - if you need an Alpha, Beta or ARC reader, please let me know 😭🩷

Because the last chapter took my heart, which had already been broken and repaired about seventeen times throughout this book, and absolutely fucking shattered it.
I stared at the page.
I genuinely could not believe what I was reading.
And then it ended.
IT JUST FUCKING ENDED.
No epilogue.
No emotional recovery.
No little plaster for the gaping wound in my chest.
Just:
THE END.
And then the author has the AUDACITY to tell us there's no epilogue this time, only the "excruciating wait for Book IV."
EXCRUCIATING?!
AT LEAST SHE FUCKING KNOWS.
And apparently she says this GIDDILY.
Ma'am.
I am pleased that YOU are having a lovely time.
I am currently lying amongst the fragments of my emotional stability.
I have never needed the next book in a series this badly.
Because somehow, after everything this enormous book answered, I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN I STARTED WITH.
So, with absolutely no context whatsoever because I refuse to spoil this for anybody:
Does the future change?
Does Caden die?!
Does Emma forgive him? CAN she forgive him?!
WHO THE FUCK IS ROSE?!
WHO THE FUCK IS CARA AND WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON THERE?!
WHY DID SEAN AND JACKSON BOND?!
I NEED ANSWERS.
Immediately.
Yesterday, preferably.
I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to read after this.
How am I meant to calmly open another book and meet some new characters when I'M STILL EMOTIONALLY LIVING WITH THESE PEOPLE?!
This series has completely consumed me, but this book was something else.
It was romantic.
It was brutal.
It was funny.
It was devastating.
It was sexy.
It was terrifying.
It was hopeful.
It was heartbreaking.
It made me question characters I trusted, love characters I wasn't expecting to love, forgive people I didn't think I'd forgive and scream at people I desperately wanted to shake.
It made me think about love, grief, sacrifice, power, autonomy, friendship, family, morality and whether doing something for the "greater good" can ever justify destroying the people who have to pay the price for it.
And it made me feel more than I can remember a book making me feel in a very, very long time.
Actually, maybe ever.
Also, I have just realised this is the biggest review I have ever written.
And honestly? That probably says more about how much I loved this book than anything else I could say.
Normally I finish a book, write down my thoughts, give it a rating and move on.
Apparently not this time.
There was just too much to say. Too much that I loved. Too much that broke my heart. Too many moments that made me feel something. I could probably keep writing and still not properly explain what this book did to me.
So the fact that this has somehow turned into the longest review I've ever written feels very fitting.
This book didn't just get five stars and a review.
It apparently got a fucking essay.
So no.
This isn't a five-star book for me.
Five stars isn't enough.
This is one of those incredibly rare books that becomes more than a rating.
It's one of my favourite books I've ever read, if not the best.
It's possibly the most emotionally devastating book I've ever read.
And somehow, despite the tears, heartbreak and the fact that I currently want to fight the author over that ending...
I fucking loved every second of it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
But emotionally?
500 fucking stars.
Now please give me Book IV before I lose my mind.
Sorcha - if you need an Alpha, Beta or ARC reader, please let me know 😭🩷

Review of advance copy received from Author
April 23, 2026The fact that I have 80% of this book highlighted reflects on the fact that I LOVED every single sentence. (Or that I need to improve my annotation skills.) 🤔📑
📖 This series is one of my favorites. It is so unique and unlike other dystopian/Romantasy books I’ve read. While book 3 ends on yet another cliff hanger (in true Sorcha fashion 🤪), this book does reveal several big questions from previous books. The plot has more twists and turns than the Superman ride at Six Flags… and I can’t tell you how many times I said, “wow. I did not see that coming”. I feel like Sorcha’s pacing in the plot is spot on… & if you love SJM for her plot twists and pacing, you’ll love this series!! After reading book 1, I compared it to Crescent City… and that comparison still holds true! Sorcha created the coolest, most intricate magic system I’ve ever read.
I’m still speechless about this book. And I’m going to need 7-10 business days and a few bottles of wine to recover. (And for Sorcha to camp out in her writing area and spit out book 4 ASAP.) 🍷🥃
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. We finally got more spice, as Emma chooses where her heart belongs. I won’t deliver spoilers… but Sorcha had me clutching my pearls and grabbing my glass of sweet tea to cool off with the level of heat produced in this book. 🔥🌶️🥵
Sorcha- I’m so thankful to be a part of your arc/street teams. Over the last year and a half… I feel like I know you. And your books just read like you. Your sarcasm and slightly unhinged lines make your writing uniquely your own… and I love it! ❤️🫶🏻📖 Also, I felt your trauma coming out onto the page through Emma with the losses she dealt with in this book. It was sad and painful, but beautifully written. I know it must have been so hard to confront those tragedies you faced and place them within this story, but I hope in the end it gave you some peace and acceptance from it all. Love ya, friend! ❤️🫶🏻

I needed a few days to digest before actually trying to put words on what I felt whilst reading Scarlet Wars… I’d say this book broke me in the best of ways. There’s something about it, about the authenticity of the characters I didn’t feel in the first books, and they were already great. But this one is definitely next level. And I can tell Sorcha left bits of her soul behind with it.
The plot continues where we left off, political challenges in full swing, Emma finds herself at the centre of a complex worldwide war that opposes humans and magi. I won’t dive too much in it specifically as I don’t want to reveal too much, but the web of secrets, lies and deceits is woven in a way that we do get so many answers, and are left with almost as many new questions. Sorcha’s done a great job at keeping the stakes high but moving the plot forward so nothing is stale. Moments from the first two books become so important to understand this third instalment, it’s expertly done.
But what got me, is how raw and vulnerable Emma is in this book. Her grief is so powerful, so overwhelming, I felt it deep in my core. Maybe because this is something I’ve had to go through recently, I felt… Seen. Understood. There’s something extremely strong about going through this with a character like Emma. She has been running away from her emotions for so long, that when it hits her, all she can do is survive it. It makes her grow in ways she never thought it would, forcing her to face her feelings. There’s a scene in Scarlet Wars that will stay with me forever. I felt every second of it. Every realisation, every question, every decision. The way Emma fights against her instincts, her learnings to follow what she really feels and face it. Having to say out loud what she wants, and laying herself bare, surrendering to her feelings - one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever read (I’m not going to say which scene it is because spoilers, but iykyk).
Of course, I can’t write a review without mentioning Caden! His evolution is equally beautiful, and I found myself loving him even more (didn’t realise that was possible). Reading about his insecurities, his beliefs, his darkness, seeing him grow alongside Emma and become this absolutely gorgeous sidekick that she deserves. I still have SO many questions about him, his past, but I’m so happy we got to know him better in this instalment, he did not disappoint one bit.
There’s yearning, heartbreaks, ups and downs… If anyone ever questioned why her street-team nicknamed Sorcha the ‘Queen of Edging’, this book is just the living proof of it. This is definitely the strongest book of the series so far, it made me feel so many things. It was a journey I gladly went on, and I think I came out of it slightly changed for the better. Sorcha marries very skilfully humour with high stakes and deep raw emotions, and I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Thank you for such a beautiful, powerful book.

This series just keeps getting better and better. This has so many things I love - a badass powerful FMC, morally grey & completely obsessed MMC, tension, slow burn, banter, magical war, found family, twists and turns. The stakes are higher and the slowest of burns that had me holding my breath.
Emma. She is such a badass FMC. I absolutely love her sarcasm and her ‘gives no shits’ attitude. Also the trauma that she goes through over and over and over again… She is so strong and I loved watching her open up and be vulnerable in this. Especially with Caden.
Ohhh and Caden. I love him so much. The way he is so incredibly down bad for Emma, even after shit she keeps putting him through. He is the definition of ‘touch her & die’…literally. The way he would watch the world burn for her! Also his banter with her. The tension between them?? Holy shit!! Literally had me holding my breath. This is the slowest and most satisfying of burns.
James, I still kinda hate you. You did some good things here but I’m still waiting on your redemption arc.
The found family in this is everything!! I love all of these characters so much! The plot in this was crazy. The twists that had my jaw on the floor. The stakes, the action. This kept me fully engaged and wanting to read just one more chapter.
That ending however??? I am NOT ok! Literally.
Will need book 4 asap!

Okay this review is long overdue but it took me some time to try & figure out what to say so here it is. Sorcha you plot twisting whore who also makes me think I’m bipolar with how my emotions go on a freaking roller coaster! This is a mothaflappin masterpiece you have written. Now don’t get me wrong book 1 & 2 were phenomenal but you leveled up on this one. You’ve been holding back on us, you sly mothaflappin goddess! This book was amazing and is exactly why this continues to be my Roman Empire series! Wow, just wow, this book had me staring at the wall when I finished it and the next day too.
We pick up right where we left off from silver tiers. But holy hell is that a way to start the book. This book dives deeper into every layer of magic, emotion and character development. And you get this from not just our main characters but from all of them! I love this because I feel like it brings more depth to the story in whole. The plot kept plotting in this one but once you think you’ve figured out where it was going, haha Sorcha said that’s a funny joke & doesn’t even turn left this chick went to outer space. She kept me on my toes the entire time!
I was flabbergasted at some of the things that were uncovered but the secrets & lies that were also involved, I’m shooketh. You know I’m an Emma girl cuz she reminds me of me and man did I heal some parts of me through her with this one. But Emma is that chick and that’s why we love her sarcastic ass! Also heyyy daddy Caden! That’s all I’m gonna say about that!
I also love that we get introduced into new and old characters in this one again. But that ending Sorcha! Really? I swear you really love to torture us because you can’t have me crying at the end of a book with book 4 nowhere in sight. How dare you! But you’ve heard me say this before and I’ll say it again, this series is CRIMINALLY UNDERHYPED! And if you haven’t read it yet you absolutely need to!!
Oh I also need my starfish novella! Okay thank you! We deserve that for the emotions you put us through with this one! 🤣

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.9/5
Reading the opening dedication and how special it was, I knew this book was going to be good.
“Nightcrawler…” (me absolutely swooning).
Now this is what I call a jam packed romantasy.
This is the third book in the Sapere series and, despite not having read the first two books beforehand, I never felt completely lost. Sorcha does a fantastic job weaving in subtle reminders of previous events without slowing the story down, which made it easy to jump straight into the action.
And what action it is.
This book had me constantly wondering what was going to happen next. Every time I thought I had figured something out, the story took another turn. There are politics, secrets, magic, betrayals, grief, fury, and enough tension to keep you glued to the page.
Emma is exactly the kind of FMC I love reading about. Powerful, stubborn, complicated, and absolutely capable of causing chaos when necessary.
Then there is Caden.
Of course I was going to be Team Caden. Broody? Arrogant? Morally grey? Say less.
Throw a love triangle into the mix and things get even more complicated.
Ooof… and the spice 🔥😬
How can you not love a guy who literally worships the ground you walk on?
I loved all the characters, they all brought something to the table.
The banter between the characters was brilliant, the multiple POVs added so much depth, and the worldbuilding felt rich without becoming overwhelming. The magic system was fascinating and the emotional moments landed just as well as the action scenes.
What really stood out to me was how well Sorcha balanced everything. The humour, the grief, the romance, the character growth, and yes, the spice. Nothing felt wasted and I never found myself bored.
And that ending?! Arghh! Absolutely torturous.
I need book four immediately.

The fact I read an 800 page book in 2 days probably says more than I will ever be able to about my enjoyment of this book.
Scarlet Wars was a rollercoaster and an emotional gut punch. There were so many reveals, so many plot twists, so much heartbreak and emotional whiplash! This book deals closely with grief and betrayal, and Emma reaches really low points in her emotional journey. My poor girl couldn't catch a break! But it's also a pleasure to see an FMC give herself grace to be soft as well as strong. I love how she embraces all of her emotions and isn't afraid to live her truth.
Alongside a truly remarkable, action-filled plot, the romance absolutely destroyed me. The angst and the passion Caden and Emma share is unbelievable! I love how they match each other's intensity and how much they YEARN to be together. There are moments in this book that will have you swooning and fanning yourself before you go right back to screaming. I really don't know how I'm supposed to just be normal after the ending...
Another revelation: I...don't hate James anymore, lol. He has a rocky start but he redeems himself throughout the book and has THE BEST BANTER with Caden. I actually loved their interactions and hope a friendship can bloom sometime in the future. And I have to say, there's a certain character circling around James that has me very intrigued for future possibilities!
Overall, an incredible third book. I was a bit aggravated with some of the "James is the father of the Krait" situation, though it also had me aggressively reading so I guess it's okay. Book 4 cannot come fast enough!

Wow. Too many thoughts.
Sorcha did it again. Making me speechless.
So many things are revealed. None of them I expected.
I have no clue what is going to happen next. I’m not ready.
I recommend to people who want to have their heart broken, healed, then broken again. Multiple times.

“Clearly the appropriate response to nearly dying is immediately running toward the next life threatening situation.”
And the next. And the next. Without question. Fighting for a future that feels inevitable. Fighting against your heart. Fighting against yourself and everything you thought you had figured out.
A full scale war is blooming. To secure a future that is no more set in stone than sands drifting on a beach. A future some want to twist to their own advantage in the name of power and obedience.
Emotions and tensions are so high in this book. And no matter which way you turn, you will be questioning someones motives or loyalty.
I was granted early access to this and now I’m on pins and needles.

This series just gets better and better
📕 Scarlet Wars is bigger, darker, more emotionally devastating, and more ambitious than the previous installments. It isn't simply “book three where the stakes get higher.” It genuinely feels like the series crossing a threshold: secrets that have been teased for multiple books matter more, the world changes dramatically, Emma changes with it, and the romance starts really paying off years of tension.
Scarlet Wars is the kind of third installment that makes you understand why I say “trust the process” about the Sapere series.
At roughly 840 pages, it takes everything established in Cerulean Truth and Silver Tiers—the magic, the secrets, the complicated relationships, the political tensions—and detonates it on a much larger scale. The Magi are exposed, war is no longer a distant possibility but reality, Emma is carrying enormous emotional and supernatural burdens, and the romance has reached that delicious stage where years of yearning collide with very real consequences. What makes the book particularly effective is that the spectacle never completely overwhelms the characters: underneath the war, twists, secrets, lies, betrayals, and magic is a story about grief, anger, vulnerability, love, and learning how to survive what has already broken you.
Cerulean Truth gives us the start to a promising romantasy series. Silver Tiers blasts it to peak romantasy. Scarlet Wars jumps it to a genuinely sprawling saga. The war finally arrives, the magic becomes bigger and more consequential, the political stakes explode, and Emma is forced to confront not only external enemies but the grief and trauma she's been carrying.
The book's greatest strength is that Sorcha Reagh understands that bigger stakes only matter when we care about the people caught inside them. And by book three, it's very easy to care about these characters.
And then there is that ending!! I had a moment where I was like 'I can't believe Sorcha's ending it all calm-like — I really didn't expect that. And then... We get hit with something huge. I think I might be broken now, in the way that only books can break us.
Without spoiling it: Reagh spends hundreds of pages answering questions, resolving threads, escalating the romance, and convincing you that maybe, just maybe, you understand where everything is going… and then she pulls the rug out from under you.
So if I had to sum up Scarlet Wars in one line:
It's 800+ pages of magic, war, female rage, grief, devastating romance, increasingly insane plot twists, and one author gleefully asking, “How emotionally attached are you to these characters?”
**Answer: extremely. And Sorcha Reagh knows it.**
This is very much for the romantasy reader who wants the romance AND the fantasy plot to matter.
📓 Synopsis
A powerful but emotionally battered heroine, a world on the brink of magical war, forbidden love, devastating choices, and enough secrets and twists to make you question everyone.
📕 Scarlet Wars is bigger, darker, more emotionally devastating, and more ambitious than the previous installments. It isn't simply “book three where the stakes get higher.” It genuinely feels like the series crossing a threshold: secrets that have been teased for multiple books matter more, the world changes dramatically, Emma changes with it, and the romance starts really paying off years of tension.
Scarlet Wars is the kind of third installment that makes you understand why I say “trust the process” about the Sapere series.
At roughly 840 pages, it takes everything established in Cerulean Truth and Silver Tiers—the magic, the secrets, the complicated relationships, the political tensions—and detonates it on a much larger scale. The Magi are exposed, war is no longer a distant possibility but reality, Emma is carrying enormous emotional and supernatural burdens, and the romance has reached that delicious stage where years of yearning collide with very real consequences. What makes the book particularly effective is that the spectacle never completely overwhelms the characters: underneath the war, twists, secrets, lies, betrayals, and magic is a story about grief, anger, vulnerability, love, and learning how to survive what has already broken you.
Cerulean Truth gives us the start to a promising romantasy series. Silver Tiers blasts it to peak romantasy. Scarlet Wars jumps it to a genuinely sprawling saga. The war finally arrives, the magic becomes bigger and more consequential, the political stakes explode, and Emma is forced to confront not only external enemies but the grief and trauma she's been carrying.
The book's greatest strength is that Sorcha Reagh understands that bigger stakes only matter when we care about the people caught inside them. And by book three, it's very easy to care about these characters.
And then there is that ending!! I had a moment where I was like 'I can't believe Sorcha's ending it all calm-like — I really didn't expect that. And then... We get hit with something huge. I think I might be broken now, in the way that only books can break us.
Without spoiling it: Reagh spends hundreds of pages answering questions, resolving threads, escalating the romance, and convincing you that maybe, just maybe, you understand where everything is going… and then she pulls the rug out from under you.
So if I had to sum up Scarlet Wars in one line:
It's 800+ pages of magic, war, female rage, grief, devastating romance, increasingly insane plot twists, and one author gleefully asking, “How emotionally attached are you to these characters?”
**Answer: extremely. And Sorcha Reagh knows it.**
This is very much for the romantasy reader who wants the romance AND the fantasy plot to matter.

"How many times had I stood like this? How many nights and mornings had I stared into a mirror wondering where the hell she had gone? The girl who laughed freely, who dreamed of a future filled with light. The girl who believed in fairness and justice and love. She was gone, lost somewhere in the blood and chaos and pain."
This was the 3rd installment of The Saphere Series & WOWEEE it did NOT disappoint 🔥 I always forget just how much I bloody LOVE this world & its unique magic haze system, until I am back in it 🥹
The plot was packed with action, twists, turns, gruesome battles, more secrets & utter betrayl ... it kept you on your toes and totally engrossed throughout! 💥
Our fierce badass FMC Emma is devoured in grief throughout this installment - yet she fights her way through with the determination of a toddler mid tantrum ❤️🔥 This woman does NOT give in ... she locks down, shows the F*ck up & lays it all on the line selflessly again every damn time for those she loves 🙌
MMC Caden was lethal, broody, dark, hot as hell & vunerable when it counted 🖤 He was SO utterly gone for Emma in this read & I ate it UP! 🫠
The vulnerability between these 2 grew to another level as the plot unfolded ... Caden knew how to give his Nightcrawler the space, time & in places platform she needed to build herself back up ❤️🔥 The tension & yearning between them was thicc ... and ofc Sorcha held her title as the Queen of Edging through the power play game of push & pull these two took us on! 🫠 But did it PAY OFF 🙌 Finally after 2.5 books we got what we'd all been SAT waiting for & it was HOTTTT 🔥🔥🔥
A mention has to go to MMC James ... who had a slight redemption this time around (only slight!!) & I started to feel sorry for him - a little like you would a stray cat 🐈 although I feel there's definitely potential promise for him in Book 4 🤞
Also can we just talk about the Brother we all want ... Sean! I mean the way he supports our girl, tells Caden how it is all while maturing his own secret relationship 👀 Novella required for these 2 pleaseeeee Sorcha? (IYKYK) 😏
But the ending .... utter shock 😶 How could you! And just whyyyy come on it book 3 we've all been through enough 😭 Here's to the final ride of Book 4 in this incredible series ✨️📚

"I'm not your friend, Emma. Friends don't look at each other like they're one second away from dragging each other to the floor and f-cking the air out of their lungs."
The secret is out. The magi are no longer hiding and the world is fracturing fast. Emma Thompson is powerful, hunted, and carrying more grief than one person should ever have to hold. And in the middle of a rising war, with alliances shattering and sides being chosen — there's Caden Colt. Dangerous. Forbidden. Looking at her like that.
She's supposed to be focused on survival. On the bond she needs. On the war she might ignite. Not on him. Definitely not on him.
But Caden has never been great at following rules.
"I'm going to ruin you...the way you ruined me."
Book Rating: 5/5
Steam/Spice: 3/5
Tropes:
- dark romantasy
- slow burn with delicious tension
- forbidden love
- witty banter & dark humor
- emotional damage
- grief, loss & devastation
- found family
- rising war & high stakes
- magic
- twists that will END you
"Thompson." His voice went flat and dangerous. "You have exactly three seconds to undress, or I swear I'll rip those clothes off myself."
Final Thoughts: I read this as an ARC and I am still not okay. Sorcha Reagh does not let Emma or the reader breathe for a single second of this book. The grief in this one hit HARD. My girl goes through it and then some. But the slow burn between her and Caden? The tension? The banter? The way he looks at her like she's the most dangerous and most wanted thing in the room at the same time? I was FERAL. And then that ending. THAT ENDING. I stared at a wall for ten minutes. Book 4 cannot come fast enough. If you're not reading the Sapere series you are genuinely missing out. 🖤🩸

Miss Sorcha Reagh… girl… we need to TALK because WHAT WAS THAT ENDING???!!!! My jaw was literally on the floor like EXCUSE ME??? 😧
Okay okay, I have so many thoughts. I LOVED this book. I will say it’s definitely heavier on the plot this time and the romance takes a bit of a back seat, but honestly… I didn’t even mind. The storyline was doing the most in the best way.
Emma… babe… I was going THROUGH it with her. The amount of trauma this girl has been through and is still dealing with?? It’s a lot. And then this book said “let’s add more” 😭 like she is literally a magnet for chaos. I felt so bad for her, but at the same time… the way she had Caden stressing??? Girl PLEASE. Because in what world are we even thinking about walking away from that man???
And Caden… MY BOY. Oh my god I love him. I love him so much it’s actually a problem. He is so painfully down bad for Emma and she just keeps putting him through it. And look, I understand why… but also that’s my man so I’m taking it personally 😭 but that ENDING??? WHAT THE HELL. HOW are they coming back from that??? I genuinely need answers immediately.
And yeah okay, I’ll mention James… he’s not my fave, I won’t lie. I do like that there’s a potential love interest there because it softens things a bit, but let’s not forget the way he treated Emma because I’m still side eyeing him hard.
I have SO many questions and I know (I hope) they’ll get answered in book four but now I’m just sitting here like… cool… guess I’ll suffer while I wait 🙃

A Story That Keeps You Guessing
I absolutely loved Scarlet Wars.
This is one of those books that keeps you second-guessing everything you think you know. Every revelation uncovers another secret, every answer raises new questions, and I found myself constantly trying to piece together the truth. The plot is intricate, with past and present, lies and loyalties all woven together in a way that kept me completely invested.
I especially appreciated how much of the bigger picture began to unfold while still leaving enough mystery to keep me eagerly anticipating what comes next. There were moments where I genuinely didn't want to turn the page because I was afraid of what might happen. That level of emotional investment doesn't come along often.
And amidst all the twists, betrayals, and high stakes, this book is undeniably hot. The romance and chemistry add another layer of tension to an already gripping story without overshadowing the larger plot.
There are still a few questions I'm turning over in my mind, and I suspect this is a series that will reward a reread because of all the details hidden throughout the journey.
If you've been following the series, Scarlet Wars delivers emotional highs, shocking revelations, plenty of spice, and an ending that will leave you desperate for the next book.
I can't wait to see where this story goes next.

Forbidden love + forced proximity + feminine rage + "touch her and lose some limbs" energy?? Scarlet Wars by Sorcha Reagh absolutely wrecked me.
Emma has been through so much throughout this series, and watching her finally embrace her power, her anger, and her strength was one of my favorite parts of this book. The grief, trauma, and impossible choices she faces hit hard, making every victory and every loss feel that much more emotional.
The tension between Emma and Caden was EVERYTHING. After all the slow burn, yearning, and emotional push-and-pull, every interaction felt loaded with meaning. Add in the forbidden love, forced proximity, political intrigue, betrayals, war on the horizon, and enough twists to keep me questioning everything, and I couldn't put this book down.
This installment feels darker, bigger, and more emotional than the previous books. The stakes are higher, the consequences are brutal, and that ending left me staring at my Kindle wondering what just happened.
If you love powerful FMCs, protective MMCs, forbidden romance, found family, emotional damage, high-stakes fantasy, and characters willing to burn the world down for the people they love, Scarlet Wars deserves a spot on your TBR.
✨ Late to posting my review since it released June 5, but trust me this one was worth the wait.

~Book Three in the Sapere Series~
"Two halves of a single haze, circling each other like twin stars caught in the same unstoppable orbit."
Emma Thompson aka "Nightcrawler" never ceases to amaze me!! Absolutely love how Emma leads with her heart, but also learns that possessing the immense magical abilities she does, she must also lead with reason...and okay also with alot of rage 🤣 we meet Emma on the precipice of her parents deaths and I really empathize with her grief journey as I also lost a parent too young.
Caden Colt. Woof. Where do i begin. The man is a tall ass drink of water, will tell you like it is, but also give you emotional space when you need it. I mean come one, this is the ideal man 🥵 Absolutely obsessed with him and the fact that he owns all of his actions and never afraid to admit fault. Caden is fiercely protective of those around him, and most importantly, Emma. And let me tell you the spice is spoiiicing 🔥🔥 I can't wait to see where things head in book four!
What you can expect:
🔥 Urban romantasy
🔥 Unique magic system
🔥 Enemies to Friends to Lovers
🔥 Forbidden Romance
🔥 "Eyes on me" & "Good girl"
🔥 Found Family
🔥 Grief x Comfort

I knew I would be left in shambles. I just didn’t care.
“You didn’t ruin me, you rewrote me” by the all mighty Caden. I love him so much, he is down bad bad bad and is just so casual about it. The way he will do anything for Emma makes me want to rip my heart out.
Emma, now we know she is a bad ass bitch. She is a little stupid sometimes with her emotions (aren’t we all tho?) and she can’t decide what do to and just wants everyone to be happy.
James; ugh I still kinda hate you tho. But we will see how you can redeem yourself.
The story picked you up, tossed you around and around until it was like “see ya later” at the end and just left you with a “wtf” look.
So many twists and turns happen in this book and I was yelling so much.
Gimme book four now. Thx

My review? Let's see......
Think scorched Earth, hell hath no fury, wars, magic, world building, and a slow burn that becomes so wicked you need aloe while reading. I screamed, I cried (sobbed in fact), I laughed, and I got angry. This book makes you feel so many emotions, and that in itself is half of the fun. We pick up where we left off in book 2 and the hits just keep coming. But Emma, oh amazing Emma, keeps getting up. Mission after mission, we see more unfold. Who stands with who? Think you know the answer? Nah, here is another twist to keep you on your toes. Read your warnings, and if you're like me, shop that list (and giggle at some definitions). 10/5 recommend, I've read it 4 times already. Go read this series, and message me with your reactions!
