A fantastic installment to this spellbinding series. It was action packed, imaginative, and completely unpredictable! K. A. Linde brought her A game with this one! I was completely enraptured. Cyrene has me fully under her spell and I don’t mind one single bit!
Oh and Dean. The way his story arc plays out in this books is Pure PERFECTION! I’m in love again. Honestly, all the characters caught me off guard this go round. Again....unexpected. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. And did I mention the mother truckin dragons? Dragons, Baby!!! It’s on!!
What the hell am I going to do with my life until the next book comes out? Probably cry!! Gah! I need it NOW!! What an unexpectedly awesome addition to the series. I did not see this coming, but oh my god, I’m even more hooked on this spellbinding series. If you love fantasy and angst, you might want to jump on this RIGHT NOW!
4.5 magical stars!

The Society is the 4rth book in the Ascension series and the second best for me. At 3.5 stars, that doesn't mean a lot, but I was able to finish the book which was an improvement since I stopped reading The Consort because I couldn't get into it. I had a huge problem with this book too. Cyrene and men. I swear every person she meets is a gorgeous man and she had a romantic entanglement with him. That was a reminder of the reason why I stopped reading YA books. Too many love interests and love triangles for me. We are on the 4rth book of the series and she doesn't have one person with whom she wants to be with which means that we will have a rushed romance in the 5th book. Everyone knows that a YA series cannot end unless the heroine saves the world and ends up with a dude. I guess that in a year from now we will know for sure.
At least Cyrene's quest for the dragons was good and what kept me going. It was like the Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire but in a not so awesome version. Most of the book is about that quest and it wasn't bad even if the plot didn't move forward much. In the last chapters of the book, we have a lot of things going on and they set up the story for the 5th and final book in the series.
Even though I have read the previous books in the series, I couldn't remember much because we get only one book per year and I felt a little lost, so I wouldn't recommend to not read the book as stand-alone and binge read them all together. I also couldn't help but feel disconnected from the heroine. A couple of the secondary characters captured my interest, but not her. If you have read the other books in the series you should give The Society a chance. If you have not you can read the first book in the series and see for yourself if you like the series or not.
Despite all this, I have to say that for a book that's 600 pages long, I had no problem reading it (I don't like long books these days) and I didn't realize that pages flew by when I was reading it. The pace was good and that made the book an easy one to read.

Incredible, one of my favorite fantasy books in a long time. This series gets better and better with each book. I can’t wait to see how it ends although I’m absolutely terrified by what I’m going to be put through

I’ve taken a break from reading over the last several months, so I’m behind on reading new releases from some of my favorite authors. Well...I’m finally here to share that author K.A. Linde has exceeded my wildest expectations with the fourth novel of her Ascension series!
The Society was everything I had hoped for but didn’t know I needed from a novel about DRAGONS! By far the best novel to this point in the series, The Society is packed full of adventure in a new land named Alandria. Linde’s world building is vivid and intriguing, where she introduces lots of new interesting characters. I’m BEYOND excited about her announcement of her new fantasy series that is coming in 2020!!
I am one of the very few readers who love and have held out hope for the series “bad boy,” Kael Dremylon. I haven’t completely given up hope yet....
I want to offer my congratulations to author K.A. Linde on another beautifully-written and adventurous novel. Linde is the queen of plot twists, and once again, she’s left me hanging from a cliff, as I wonder how our heroine, Cyrene Strohm of the Doma, will save the day! 5-star review. 2019 favorite!

Let me begin by saying WOW! Kyla Linde knows what she's doing. Her writing is impeccable. This series is one of the most magical and awe inspiring I have ever read. Each one keeps getting better and better. I cannot wait for the next one.
The Society begins where The Consort ended. You are instantly thrown back into Cyrene and her friends adventures. Each one is more exciting than the last. You'll meet some new amazing characters that will make an impact on you and the story, Kivrin being one of them. I was instantly in love with this character. He left a huge imprint on me and I was begging for more. In this enchanted masterpiece, Cyrene must journey across the seas to a magical land so she can find herself a dragon. Yes, I said dragon and let me tell you, these beautiful creatures are worth reading about. Every page is mesmerizing and you'll be lost through every part. There are so many twists and by the last page, you're going to be in SHOCK! I still am and I'm not sure how to process the ending and all the other secrets that are brought to light. It was raw, it ripped at my heart and left me completely shell shocked. So prepare yourself for quite a thrill.
I give The Society by K.A. Linde 5 out of 5 BRILLIANT STARS!

This series keeps getting better and better. I love how Cyrene has grown on this journey. How she feels she needs to earn her successes. How she fights the seduction of the blood magic. But the one that gets me the most in this book is Dean. When we meet him it tears at your heart and his journey back is just so amazing and wonderful. Him and Cyrene at the end of this better end up together. And poor Ahlvie I hope this storyline turns out well as well for that ending with him was just wow…not what I expected and I think Sonali was in on what happened. Can’t prove it though.
The story picks up where book 3 ends and does get more dangerous and darker. We see the characters go through more challenges and gain more depth. There are so many secrets happening and revealed it has your head spin. And watching Cyrene go through the trials and keep her faith and what is right or wrong thoughout the process was wonderful to see.
The world building continues and her descriptions really draw you in. You feel like you are right there with them.
Cyrene’s growth and determination is alluring but it is her sense of right and wrong and wanting to do what is right that keeps you trusting her. When she meets Fallon and helps him no matter what during the trials it endears you more to her but it also helps Dean in so many ways. We see their attraction shine through and in some ways save both of them.
Ahlvie and all he does for love warms the heart but also is heartbreaking at the end. Dean just wow totally Team Dean. He starts off with you snarling at him but in the end you just want to hug him. Mikel was amazeballs. Matilde so not expecting that and Vera was not as expected. Neither was Reeve and Elea. So many lives being risked and you could feel the darkness just taking over throughout the book. It was a living breathing entity that invaded when you least expect it. Kael was really dark and you could see the madness and greed for power within him shine through.
The story was just amazing. I couldn’t put it down. The characters draw you in, the action keeps you there and the ending has you wanting to know more and see how this concludes. KA linde has really grown this series and characters so much that you now feel a part of them and with all the twists and reveals you need to know how this will end. Great next book in the series that leaves you wanting more.

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I've enjoyed the Ascension series, but I had a hard time reconnecting with the characters in this entry into the series. Cyrene was the hardest, especially because of her interest in random boys that show up in the books. She loved Edric, kinda had a thing for Kael, was engaged to Dean, kinda still had a thing for Kael and then this book introduces another boy that Cyrene develops a relationship with before Dean comes back into the picture. Her flip-flopping made it so I no longer vested in what was happening in the story. I get it, this is YA. But if this heroine is strong enough to lead an army against the Destroyer, then figure out whether you need the man you supposedly love at your side or if you're going to make eyes at every pretty boy that feigns interest in you.
Dragons should have been enough to let me skip over Cyrene's romantic entanglements, but even Sarielle couldn't save this story for me.

When I heard here were going to be dragons in this story, I'll admit, I wasn't too keen to read this instalment. But it's a K.A. Linde book and she's never disappointed me before. Thank the Creator, she didn't this time either. The dragons worked!!! Fantasy is one of those genres I'll read but it's not my go to but I loved this series. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the story line.
At times, the plot line or some story elements seemed reminiscent of another popular series by a well known author. However, Linde added her own style and flare to it to make the story unique and her own.
As always, Linde has a way of drawing you in to the story with formidable characters who are ambitious and sure. The imagery she provides in the places and lands of this story (Draco Mountain, Kinkadia, Alandria, etc.) are poetic. And i would love to adorn myself in the gowns the females wore.
There were a lot of characters so you can't read this story when you're sleepy lol.
If you're looking for something different yet intriguing and enchanting then this is the series for you.
D 4/5

Wow. There are so many twists and obstacles that Cyrene faces that I really didn’t know where she’d turn half of the time. And Kael…he’s really going full steam ahead and I worried what Cyrene might return home to face. And where is Dean? Some of these questions are answered but I was shocked at what was revealed at the end of this book. Where do we go from here? I’m not sure but I know I just cannot wait to find out!
I love this series so much. There are so many turns and mysteries unraveling that I can’t put it down. I don’t know how I will survive waiting for the next book since I just devoured the fourth! Great fantasy series.

You guys. A little over a year I waited for this book (and happily because I know books take time), and every second was worth it. SO GOOD. I'm a huge fan of fantasy, and this book just delivered on everything I was hoping for.
The Society thrusts you right back into the thick of things and picks up where The Consort left off. It was really great to hang out with Cyrene and company again as they search for dragons (yeah, you read that right) in the hopes that they can save her world and Avoca's life. The banter, adventure, and complex plot from the first three installments in the series carries through, and I'm STILL torn over who I want Cyrene to end up with romantically. I'm afraid to commit lol.
In addition to the character development and interesting plot, what I really appreciate about this book is that although it's lengthy, it does not drag. The story moves quickly, and all the action and intrigue and twists (oh, the twists!) the author is known for definitely made this a book I was eager to devour. Also, not surprised since this is K.A. Linde we're talking about lol, but there's a cliffy that blows your mind.
My only regret is I didn't have a chance to read the first three books again before diving into this one so that all the details were fresh. I ended up popping back over to The Consort to do a very quick perusal/refresh, but I wish I had fully immersed myself into this world before reading The Society so I could appreciate it more. That being said, I can easily say this was my favorite book of the series so far, and I fully intend on doing another read of all the books when I have more time.
If you haven't picked up this series yet, please give it a chance. It's refreshing and epic in its awesomeness, and I eagerly await the next one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it might be my favourite one in the series. I admit that it started off rather slowly and I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I found Cyrene to be especially irritating in the first 300 pages of the book. She is expressly described as not being like other girls-or other anybody for that matter-by literally everyone that she meets. She does something and everyone just stares at her in shock and says,"How did you do that?" or "That's never been done before. I've never met anyone like you."
Another aspect that I didn't really care for is that we hardly get any of the characters narrating throughout the 623 pages of this book. Do you know how incredibly irritating it is to be stuck with Cyrene and her pompous self throughout an overwhelming majority of the book? I didn't get to spend enough time with the other characters to fully understand and appreciate their character development but it was apparent all the same. It was quite satisfying, if I may add.
However, in the second half of the book, there is a lot of character growth, amazing world building and a few, just a few, non cliche outcomes.
The ending was slightly predictable, but I enjoyed it any as it was a fun read. Something happened that I had not seen coming at all and I was I was thrown for a loop. I am really looking forward to the next book. I think I already know how it ends, but I hope that K.A. Linde has some good surprises up her sleeve.

This book is everything! Everything. Book 4. Oh how I've longed for book 4. Perhaps one of the best things about this series is getting to revisit the characters I've been separated from for so long. A year between books allows me to go back to the beginning over and over again each year to refresh on the characters I love. But this one was worth the wait. We get questions answered, leave with even more questions, and of course, DRAGONS! I love every book K.A Linde writes, but my goodness something about this book just had me even more immersed in it than all the others. Perhaps seeing dragons in the last season of GOT made this book even more fascinating. 💗 We get more magic, more journeys into the unknown, and get to finally see dragons. While following my favorite characters through this journey I have been all over the place on who to trust, who is an enemy and who Cyrene can truly trust. Kyla knows just how to mix enough angst into each book that you never know what to expect out of it and she surprises me around ever corner. I cant wait to find out what happens in the last book and see how our friends all survive.

Wow, what a book! I am normally not a fan of fantasy but Ms. Linde pulled me in with book one of the Ascension series. The story and the covers just keep getting better with each book. The Society was full of so many things I didn’t see coming. I am on a book high after finishing this book.
I love this group of characters and the bond they have. Cyrene is such a badass and there are dragons!! Who doesn’t like dragons? The gang is all back together to save her world. I have really missed these characters. Buckle up and get ready for an adventure you don’t want to miss.
This book is huge; I am talking 600 pages of pure genius. You will fly through this book and want more after it ends. I can’t wait for the last book in this series to see how things turn out. If you have never read this genre before this is the perfect series to start.

I honestly just want to spend one day walking around inside this author’s mind. Where does she come up with this stuff? You think you know what’s going to happen and BOOM she jerks your thoughts clean away and replaces it with something else only to chapters later in the book do it again. I was on the edge of my seat and did not see what happened in chapter 64 coming for anything. The wait for the final book is going to be long but I’m going to reread all of these books before it does so it’s fresh in my mind. Unbelievable series!

I’m gonna say this is closer 2.5 for me. I struggled real hard with this. I loved the start of this series. It kept me guessing. This book felt like it didn’t know what it wanted to be. During so many scenes, I felt like I had read them before in other books. At some points it just felt like the story was piecemealed together from other popular YA novels, and I felt so disconnected from the story.

WOW!! I didn’t see that ending coming at all!! And that was just a spectacular ending to a phenomenal book!!
I have loved every book in the Ascension Series and this has been the best so far! Journeys, magic, a thrilling competition, romance, and DRAGONS!! All my favorite things!! In one precious package!!
The audiobooks are expertly delivered and I highly recommend this series in any format!
Now, on to The Domina!!

Well that ended with a mind twisting fuck! So much is not what it seems unless you’ve paid very close attention and made good guesses about where this story is heading. What do you do when when the most trusted characters turn out to be liars? You say what the fuck and then sit back and stew about it until the next book comes out.

The Society
This series is my first (and only, so far) delve into the fantasy genre. I am sooooooo loving it sooooooo much. I'm loving Cyrene's journey and her developing character and friendships throughout. This book is the best so far (and that's saying something). You MUST read it!! It's excellent! Roll on the next one!

Book 3 did a good job continuing the story.
The story continues. I have very interesting twist at the very end. I'm not gon to try to tell you about what the twist is. Because that would be a spoiled work, but the story is very good. The trials are logical and well written. You will enjoy it continues on and a major trend.

Fan-freaking-tastic series!
This is an outstanding series. Minimal slow spots, overall great! The characters are electrifying, they're so human. The twists and turns are maddening!

fabulous!
Goodness, I didn’t see that twist coming at all! I’m really enjoying this series as Cyrene battles her way through everything that is thrown at her she’s really developed.

Dragons! Oh and Prince Dean....😀. What a rollercoaster. You sure I have to wait a whole year for the last book?

It was a good, fast paced read. I just wish it didn't end the way it did.

No where near as good...
This book was such a letdown to the previous books! So much "filler"with little substance. So disappointed. I had high Hope's for this series .
