I received an ARC version of this book and I voluntarily leave this review. I am really enjoying this whole series and cannot wait fo the next one.

Ana and her party have reached the Mystic, Madame Marouske and have almost all gone through trials and tribulations either on the way or when they reached their destination. Ana regains all the memories of her past lives and realises the real identities of Madame Marouske and Opal (the leader of Jaden's group). They have another (deadly) encounter with Garr and a battle with Dreya and few come out unscathed.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book at no cost from the author in exchange for an honest review

A new story of the Balance Bringer. In the beginning I had some issues to recall what happened because there is a long time in between books. But I kept on reading and slowly all the previous adventures of Ana came back.

We left Ana at the tree sanctuary with her aunt Meira , she know remembers her past lives, but still nobody remembers Izza. Jaden’s life is in the balance as he is infected by the darkness while trying to save Ana. Will he survive this fight? Ana has lost her feel of the elements as she offended them when she decided to use dark magic. Will they forgive her and get her elemental magic back?

I got an earlier version, but there were minor issues with it. Lots of characters have the limelight, but it still has the same tight inner circle of family and friends, new and old. Right mixture of action, adventure, elemental magic, friendships, betrayals, obsessive love, and awesome fantasy background of Hiddenkel. Background is so descriptive that you feel right at home. An epic journey for Ana and Jaden as the persons they are. And that change of scenery might be more successful than staying into the same cycle of doing things. Again, the story is again captivating and you fill right in where you left off.

The fourth book in the Balance Bringer series that grabs you and never lets go. With the binding coming to fruition for Ana as she is remembering so much more about her life. Jaden is still out of the picture with Ana trying to bring all her powers together to defeat Dreya and keep her from destroying the worlds by continuing to spread the infection. Throughout this book we are taken on a roller coaster ride as well as edge of your seats moments that keep you turning pages. Will Jaden recover so he can help Ana save the worlds? Will Ana be able to destroy the enemies who are after her. Will she be able to control all her powers and use them to save the worlds. This is a fun series that keeps you turning pages until the end. I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

Is Ana strong enough to conquer Dreya?

The binding has combine all of her previous selves memories, but the cost was high. Jaden lies unconscious and Ana cannot connect with any of her elementals. She has failed in all of her previous incarnations but this life has many “firsts” so maybe a new approach will succeed where all the others have failed. Dreya will never stop spreading the infection until the worlds are destroyed if Ana cannot find the source of her power and finally vanquish her.

This story is spell-binding. I could not stop reading. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

This Balance Bringer book brings some new twists. One I suspected, but, the rest caught me by surprise. Ana is continuing to adapt to her new role. There are some big heart stopping scenes that had me frantically reading to see how they concluded and if characters involved survived. Some heart wrenching truths are revealed. All in all this was a feast of an epic adventure. This author has a talent for being descriptive with few words. She really brings you into the world she has created so skillfully. I am looking forward to the series conclusion in the next book.

Ana knows she has a big destiny being the Balance Bringer, but does that mean she knows all the answers and has all the confidence? Probably not for she still has more of her journey to go. If she clashes with Dreya, can she win this time? Will Jaden become conscious again? I enjoyed the challenges she faces, the people around her (who certainly have their own interesting personalities) and I look forward to what happens next.

slow paced

Jam packed full of secrets, emotions and answers. However I’m not going to lie parts of this book really dragged and I found it really difficult to finish. Multiple times I wanted to just give up, however I’m glad I pushed through and continued. I’m still not liking Ana’s character however the storyline is starting to fall into place - even if it is slowly. I’m extremely concerned about the next book as I really can’t see how things are going to work out as things stand at the moment.

She is now having fire inside her as well as the other three elements. She is also unconscious, her family and friends are having issues so she will have much to do. How is she going to everything she needs to do? Can she keep her family and friends safe? How will all the elements work together? See how it all goes

Fourth book in the series, so there is much foundation before we even get intro this book. Continuing the feel and of the previous installment, "Igniting" gives you more of what you love of this series. From the ever evolving characters, to learning more about the world they inhabit, this is a well written next installment that keeps you entertained and satisfied from start to finish.

This book was riveting, so much happens and it was exciting. I really enjoyed reading this book but it did make me cry and cringe. It was a page turner and kept my attention to the end. What an ending! Very exciting. Loved that the author brings it all together and I cannot wait for the next book.I’m not sure how the author will top this. I would recommend this book.

Follow along as Ana and Jaden go about trying to bring her connection to the elementals back together. Ana also needs to attempt to get the ice and water powers that were gifted to Dreya taken away. Ana cannot believe the number of deaths that occurred to her group of people after the showdown with Dreya. This story has plenty of action and ends in a cliffhanger. Highly recommended.

This series is not for the faint of heart. There are so many jaw dropping moments and monumental twists. I couldn’t read fast enough to see where this story was headed. Ana is adjusting to new roles, new responsibilities, new dangers and old issues. Ms Kristi definitely has a captivating style of writing and story telling that completely disarms you and draws you in at the same time.

Ana has finished the Balance Bringer binding and now she is strong. But of course things are not all happy now. Lots of action, danger, friends, enemies, and anything else that can add to all the fun going on. Fun and entertaining to read what was in store for Ana this time and what she would face this time around and have to overcome. Entertaining and fun to read.

Ana and Jaden have come a long way in their journey. I have to say I think this book has been the best. Ana is starting to insert herself into her destiny along with friends and family. Not everybody comes out of this unscathed. Can't wait for the next book in this series.

great read!

This is one well written and fabulos story I enjoyed the characters and the story flow is perfect! I love love loved it! Amazing job!

[LooseBoots · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entire series has been an uplifting experience. I read an early version which had a few typos but I’m sure the polished version will be great.
As I mentioned to The author, Debra, I feel exhausted but in a good way. It means that she has done her job exceedingly well as I was drawn into the story once again from the very beginning.
Ana’s journey as the Balance Bringer is a rollercoaster ride to be sure. It created a movie in my head that was a blockbuster movie with plenty of action but also tender moments.
I’ll not leave any spoilers but I’ll simply say this has been an epic read of the highest quality.
I can only speak from my own perspective but this is one of the very few authors/ series that I know I’m going to thoroughly enjoy.
I hope you will too.
Don’t miss it.

It was great to continue with the series! This is book 4, so I’d recommend starting from the beginning. I enjoy the cool magical aspects, fun adventure, and interesting Fae elements. Ana is still dealing with her role as balance bringer, the enemies out to get her, and things are going crazy with her crew. Good action and intrigue! Entertaining read with a cool world and interesting characters!
