This is the final book in the Their Champion series for some reason I had it in my head that the previous book was the finish post no idea why I thought that, Well anyway, this is the actual end of the line.

This wraps things up nicely and here we get to observe the much-anticipated battle between the North and the cities.
Then Showcasing the resulting aftermath and how a new civilisation is being forged from the ashes of the past.
Built from the blood tears and pain of the North a new Nation is born with a berserker queen at the helm.

Worth is again joined by her men who stand solid by her side supporting and worshipping her through it all.
All six a solid unit one berserker queen her crazy king and her four lost boys one big happy family.
I especially appreciated how this author manages to give each male in Worths harem such an individual and distinct personality.

This was a combination of the usual blood war and crazy sex we have come to expect.
It perhaps has a little less going on in terms of plot progression than it’s predecessors but I still enjoyed it very much.

This is the pinnacle of all we have been aspiring to within this series and this essentially crosses the t’s and dots the i’s finally closing the door and giving us closure.
One thing I did notice here though was that worths inability to just take five minutes and recover and to stop putting herself in danger in regards to her injuries well she did annoy me slightly.
No one is invincible but she acts throughout this like she is, Just wanted to put that out there.

I’m looking forward to reading Piper's story next I find myself greatly intrigued with her and her men and can’t wait to discover more about them.
This series has been quite the ride and it’s one I highly recommend especially if you like post-apocalyptic reverse-harem.

All in all, a really amazing series!

It should definitely be on the list of anyone who enjoys a good post-apocalyptical world.

I wanted a lot more of this series, but I heard that there are other books in this universe, so I will give them a try.

Once again, a series worth reading. It is definitely one of the best dystopians I've read and a really good surprise. Well done, K.A. Knight. Well done.

Belive it or not, compared to previous books in the series this one was almost dull. That’s because there’s been so much action, death and mayhem it makes believing Taz and her men having a moment of peace and happiness impossible. Don’t get me wrong many a throat is slit and death comes knocking more than once. But in reality there’s really only two major-ish battles and minor skirmishes.
If I didn’t love my sick twisted Dray already this book would have cinched it for me. Dray and Taz continue on with their nasty, kinky yet smoking hot blood/sex play and I can’t get enough. While I can’t say I’d like to get in physical fights with my significant other, it’s literally only foreplay for these two and I don’t think that will ever change for them. And it’s not like she goes easy on him 😈😘😈😘 I love that all her men bring something different to the table and challenge her constantly. Taz is just one of the heroines you know needs five men because one or even two just wouldn’t cut it for her.
While this book is much tamer there is still so much going on. The war with the city is a hard won battle to which Taz almost loses her life. But after the dust settles it’s time to make change and no one wants that more than her. Gone are her days of forced fighting for sport and survival. She’s done being a pawn for men and with Major’s influence she’s ready to bring the Wastes (now the Nations) under control. Taz is the epitome of a Phoenix rising from the ashes and now she’s a mother f*cking Queen and it’s her time to rule. Absolutely loved this entire series and I’m really not ready to let it go. It’s dark gritty and oh so damn good.

Gah, I love Dray. And Jax. And Worth. And okay fine. I love them all. Especially Dray's crazy ass. He is so effing psycho sometimes though... but that's kinda why I love him. Okay that's enough about that.

Also, I love this series. Worth is my hero.

'The Nations' is the fourth book of the 'Their champions' series by K.A. Knight. I am so excited to tell you guys about this marvelous book!!

After reading the first few books of this series , this book was one of my most anticipated reads! The series is amazing and this book was a huge contribution to it! Just like every other book , Katie has managed to stun me speechless with her flawless writing skills.

Worth is a character for whom I was very excited. Her story was amazing and I was in awe of her courage! That woman was the true queen and I pity anyone who came into her path. The way she carried herself was amazing and so were the battle scenes in this book. Another great fantasy read by this author that i loved!

A definite recommendation to all the fantasy romance lovers out there!

Now that I've stopped crying long enough to do a review...I'll get to it. 😉

The Nations is Worth's final book. As with all of K.A Knight's books, it is very well written. This has now become one of my all-time favourite series. There has been a lot of darkness, pain and suffering for our Champion. Although it is a dark series, its essential message is one of hope. For a better life, for a better world. Throughout the series, the incredible writing by the author has drawn out all the feelings - I have laughed, cried, felt heartbroken. I have cheered and despaired, and ultimately, cried out those happy tears. I'm sad that it is finished - but I know that I will definitely come back to read it again, and again.

Long live the Nations. Long live the Berserker Queen (and her kings!) 💖

The Queen of the Nations

Worth is a baddie and I can’t get enough of her. I love how her past reminds her of the future that she can have. Her men are possessive and extra stabby over their queen. Worths vision for the North is so powerful and the changes are impactful. I enjoyed this series so much and the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys true reverse harem. I gave this book 5 stars because the series was remarkable. The spice and plot were just right and everything is nice.

An awesome ending to this series. I was happy with the way all the story lines were tied up and definitely curious about Piper and the damned and where that storyline will end up going. I just love Worth and her attitude. She stands up for those weaker than her, and literally bleeds to keep her people safe. This book really did her story justice.

This was the epic send off Worth deserved. I adore each and every one of these characters and loved every minute of their brutal, bloody story. Long live the queen of the North and her 5 kings.

Sands Below! I'm over here trying to pull myself together 😭 Knight had me truly afraid to move forward with the prologue. Worth is the whole reason I feel in love with Katie's writing and I'm still unsure how I feel about her story coming to and end.. but I am glad that our Berserker Queen got the ending that she deserved and was always meant to have. And I think the reading gods that I can still journey back to the Wastes with Piper's final book!.. plus, we got some new characters in this book, so maybe some more spinoffs? One can hope!

Wow...what an ending for a truely epic series by this vey talented author. KA Knight excels at creating a unique world that just drags the reader in and has you 100% invested in what is happening and what the characters are going through. She knows how to develop her character that have them flying off the pages and has the reader sad when their series comes to an end! Wroth was one of the first characters that I read from KA Knight and she had me falling in love with her writing....it is rally sad to see the end of her story come but also it is great to read the development of Wroth from the first book, her being alone, to the last book, her being a Queen and having her husbands. This is a great series that is able to be read over and over again and still have the reader surprised as they turn the pages. Highly recommended like all books in this series!

Their Champion

The prologue and various parts in the book had me very concerned about Tazanna! Talk about heart on throat moments, sneaky little author.
This was a great series, and Tazanna is an amazing FMC created by K A Knight.
Slowly making my way through Knights books and she is very quickly becoming a favourite author of mine.

I Give this Books a 4-4.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 4.
No Spoilers.
Cliffhanger(?): No?
HEA(?): Yes!
Heat(?): Yes! 5/5
Romance: 4-4.5-5/5, depends on which character I’m talking about, some of the guys did still seem a bit or almost quiet. But I really enjoyed all of the guys nonetheless.
Pacing: slow-mid to mid
I do feel like this one seemed a lot slower than the previous reads, which was more enjoyable and easier to picture, but on the other hand ‘healing’ seemed to take much longer and dragged a bit through the chapters and kinda became a focus that did have me almost wish the pacing had picked up.
It’s a darn if you do, darn if you don’t type of thing. That may only be an issue (to me).
Suspense: 3.5-4ish:5
Drama: 3.5-4-4.5/5
Relationship Type: RH > Reverse Harem.
I do have to say that you do have to read this series in order, as well as the Their Champion Companion Series which is Pipers. And you have to read them in functional order, or rather when each book came out I guess. Cause it’s definitely obvious you need to read both series to get the whole point, if you don’t, it is a tad confusing especially with character situations/lives seeming to intermingle.
While, it is a good marketing ploy, it does give me a bit of whiplash cause you have memorize two storylines in one universe that is happening at essentially the same time. But then again you don’t >have< to, it’s just of you want the best storyline it is best to read both series and at the right place in the timeline.

Its the final book of Their Champion series, the conclusion, and wow what a conclusion it was. I so wasn't prepared for everything this book brought. At the end of book three Worth, her men, and the warriors of The North are heading into battle against The Cities. Worth is Queen of the Berserkers and she brought all the clans together to fight against the threat toward them. And what a battle it was! So much death and pain, and utterly heart-stopping moments. But what will happen when the battle is over?

This series is what started my love for author K.A. Knight and I'm so happy I found it and started reading her wonderful books. Even though I've read many of her books before I will always have a special love for this series cause it was my first.

Reading Worth's journey as she goes from a slave to a Queen is breath-taking. She goes from being entirely alone to gradually building a family around her filled with the men and women she loves and would give up her life for. Two characters I need to give out a shout out to are Nan and Piper, I love Nan, that cranky old hag! Every time I read a bit of the story with her in I couldn't help but laugh. And Piper is just hilarious, she totally has a thing for Worth and she isn't even afraid to admit it especially when she's drunk. If you want more of Piper I would definitely recommend reading K.A. Knight's Their Champion companion series!

If you love a post-apocalyptic story with a strong female lead, bloodthirsty, totally gorgeous men, and quirky side characters then this book is definitely for you.

War came, the Nation's emerged. Berserkers, Seekers, Worshippers, Scavs, Roadies, Paradise, and the Lost all came together to fight The Cities. Warriors were born and died that day. The day a slave girl turned Champion turned Berserker Queen became the Queen of the North. Now it's time for a new day, a new world. One where Warriors have honor, Queens thrive, and the people are safe.

This series has always been a little of a struggle for me. I love the characters. Worth is all woman. There's nothing new to be said about her. Fierce. Passionate. Deadly. We all have a little of Piper's girl-crush. Her men are all worthy of their Worth. They have proven their love and loyalty. Nan, Piper, Reeves, Priest, etc all add to the richness of this story. Major's loss still hurts but life in the Wastes doesn't always end in a HEA. An outcome the people all know and willingly embrace for their freedom. Live hard and embrace every day. The story is compelling and ultimately satisfying. My struggle comes with Dray and Worth. Dray is my favorite. I love his crazy. But not blood play. Be clear this is not kink-shaming, but it's too much for me. I had to skim over parts. Other than that, this was the perfect finale for Worth. It was gritty, violent, bloodthirsty. It was also funny, passionate, and really touching at times. Gasps, giggles, and glassy eyes. Well done Worth!

The end of this series is very emotional for me. I get involved in every book I read. I give it my full attention and tend to read as much as possible. This series and this last book was the culmination of a journey for Worth and her guys. Its bittersweet, I knew that it had to end but I wasn't ready. As ive said in many posts on all social media platforms this series has been and will probably always be my favorite since I first read The Wastelands. This book was full of all of the emotions, not as high-octane as the rest of them, but that's ok, this is the culmination of everything.

The last book ended with them getting ready to go to war with the Cities. And what a war. The beginning started out so full of emotion and heartache, I was totally on the edge of my seat. This book was more about their relationship and what each one brings to her, it was basically the healing and the where do we go from here? Man but I laughed so hard at the guys and Piper, oh Piper,shes amazing. Anyways this book gets 5 stars because it did tie everything up, not all final books do, but I felt happy with the ending, it was crazy and a lot of things I didn't ever expect to happen but it made everyone so real. KA Knight is one of my favorite authors, Everyone needs to read this book.

Great conclusion/wrap up for the series and characters

I really enjoyed this one! I loved getting to see the aftermath of the war and everything that Tazana Worth has been fighting for. This is the 4th and last book and Taz and her men and I highly recommend reading the previous books before this one. Things are not easy and Taz has to keep fighting, in ways that she didn't entirely expect for her life with her men. I love her vision and how she moves forward. I don't want to say too much and spoil anything. I loved seeing Worth with her men and how they support her and she supports them. This was a great read and a great wrap up for Worth and her men. We get to see her do what she does best and see her men give her the strength and support in order to do so. I also loved getting to see all of them coming together and building close bonds as well and seeing how Dray incorporates himself into those as well as with Taz. I love all the individual relationships that we have between her and her men as well as the other characters in the story and how those are developed in this book. This book still has some action and intrigue and I thought it was well done. The book and series overall is on the darker side of things due to the world they live in and it being a fight to live. It isn't easy to survive and lines are definitely grey as they definitely don't have any problem fighting and killing those that need it but the relationships between Worth and her men are not really on the darker side. I am sad to say goodbye to Taz and her men but hopefully that we get to see them in future books set in this world. I am so glad that I have discovered this author and can't wait to continue reading more books by her.

Just couldn't

I pushed through and tried really hard to complete the series but just couldn't finish the whole book. Starting from the very first book, the main character falling in love with four men and softening her heart and entire attitude toward life after knowing them for pretty much 2 days stretched belief. The series had a lot of my favorite trobes including post-apocalyptic strong female characters and reverse harem goodness. Unfortunately, the third book was pretty much half erotica with very little plot and the fourth book was just ridiculously unfortunate. When the main character died for 5 minutes yet a couple of hours later got up and physically dug multiple graves and participated in an S&M bloodletting game with one of her partners, I just couldn't read any more past that. Anyone who actually behaved that way would be dead. There would be no book after that. Masochistic desires to be cut by your partner are all well and good and potentially erotic, but doing so a few hours after literally dying from being stabbed in the gut is just really really poor plot development.

WOW

Can I just take a minute to truly appreciate Worth, I mean wow, she is just amazing, her strength not only physically but also emotionally is just beyond words. Her ability to overcome what she has and continue to keep putting one foot in front of the other and never giving up just blows my mind. Not sure I’ve ever read another character that was as strong as her all across the board. Secondly, can I have her men, like seriously I want 5 guys that are clones of hers, lol. The way they love her and put her above all else, it makes me speechless! I loved every word of this book, I couldn’t put it down, nor could I sleep until I finished it! It was everything I wanted and oh so much more! Reading this book made every tear, every curse word, every single moment of heartbreak, joy, and frustration through Worth’s journey totally worth it! It truly was a masterpiece and I honestly can’t wait for what Knight has in store for us with her next book release!

What a way to end the series

Wowwww. What a series!!!! This has become one of my favorites for sure!
This book wraps everything up in Worth’s part of the series. It picks up exactly where book 3 ended. The
author did an outstanding job with Worth’s character. She’s a total bada**, fierce, caring, loving and takes no bull. I’m totally with Piper and got myself a lady crush. Lol. The guys are all reunited together with her and although we don’t get as much Dray as we did before :( he’s definitely still a main character and very much still ...Dray.
Chapter 30....(bring a fan) it’s definitely 🔥 and I was so ready for it. Lol.
This series just has it all. It post-apocalyptic setting, blood, battle, lies, hotness, a kicka** FMC and love with a HEA! It doesn’t get better than this.
I will read anything this author puts out. Im officially buying all of these books now! Thanks KU! Lol.

Long live Worth and The Nations

I'm honestly a little depressed about saying goodbye to Worth and her men. Oh I know I can always visit with them again but while there was no The End to Worth's story it's like there was no end. I have loved Worth and her brand of bad@$$ from the beginning. She's the reason I fell in love with K.A. Knight books. Worth isn't just a champion she is a survivor and a protector. She has been through so much and saves herself every time. Her men are everything and they are there for her: to push her when she needs it, hold her up without anyone knowing and supporting her in every way.

The end was wonderful. It wrapped up well and I have enjoyed this journey immensely. If you're looking for an excellent series I really, really recommend this one.

It is after the war with the cities but now the real fight begins and Worth is injured badly and it is not looking good..

She is trying to repair the North and make new laws.. she is for sure the Queen of the Wastes..

She was stressing me out because she just would not rest and let her body heal.. I was yelling at her.. Ha I’m sure you will too..

The loss of everyone in the wars was a lot but Worth is determined to make their lives matter..

The Nations is formed.. and Of course not everyone is happy about the new rules and system.. but she handles it the only way she knows how.. I am so expressed with the way she continued to lead by actions and only broke when she was alone or with her men..

The ending was perfect.. I loved this whole series so much.. I really hope Piper gets a book.. I would love to see that Harem at play.. excellent read..

GENRE/TROPES: Dystopian, RH
POV: 1st, FMC
SERIES: Their Champion, Book 4
STEAM LEVEL: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

And I have reached the end. Amazing. The writing is such a contradiction because while the material was heavy in darkness, it had so much humor, snark, and sexiness that more than balanced it out. It was empowering and honest and hopeful.

The journey of Taz going from Champion to Queen was thrilling and so freaking fun! Call me morbid but I loved the setting and the primal outlook on living. It’s a real testament to weaknesses of humanity and it was humbling to read about. It was also inspiring to watch a young woman navigate the brutality of the Wastes while allowing herself to be weak in front of her 5 men.

And those men? Dray, Jax, Drax, Thorn, and Maxen were strong but compassionate. And they were ENTHRALLED by their Queen. It was borderline obsessive, especially for Dray (lol) but I ended up loving that dynamic. This is a dystopian romance. It’s not going to be conventional and I loved the originality of it all.

Overall, my favorite book was the first one. It drew me into the series and gave me the foundation I needed to make it through this crazy story.

Holy **** what the heck did I read? Let me tell you this series is 100% worth the read. It has action, romance, and spice, and the plot just keeps going. It was well thought out and planned. I didn't want to stop reading.

The only two things I would change would be starknf the series when FMC was a slave, I wish we had gone through that journey with her.. we did get great flashbacks and details, but I wanted to know pre live. I would also want to know how they did in years in the future. What happened? Did they adopt any children? How might they die since death is a huge part of this series?

Overall, this series is a well thought out on and worth every moment of the read

Holy Sands Below! I tried to hold off on reading this because I knew it was the end and I didn’t want it to be over. This book is the perfect ending to Worth’s story. I laughed and I cried, like ugly crying not the pretty kind. This book had total DOV vibes too. If you are hesitating to read the series I promise you will not be disappointed. Katie has managed to create a badass FMC who takes no ones shit but also knows that it’s okay to be yourself around the people you love. I’m also really glad she writes so fast because I can’t wait for more on The Damned.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Unfreakingbelievable!!! Katie wrapped up Worth story with as much, joy, struggle, fight, love and beauty as she wrote with the other books!! It was everything you come to want and expect of the champion and her men. I loved all their growth throughout this series, she became so self aware and her men knew what she needed almost before she did. This series was an amazing adventure and had so many characters to get to know and love. Specifically Piper, I was so happy with every step Worth and Piper took in this book and what she became to Worth and I can't wait to see the end of Pipers journey next!! Long live the Berserker Queen and Long live the Nations!!!

An excellent wrap up to Worth's story, though I'm really hoping we get a bit more of Piper as she is hilarious.

I feel like I waited ages for this book (I totally get why, Katie has been BUSY with lots of other releases) and it surpassed all of my expectations.

The opening prologue set me up to have my heart broken, I'm beyond glad it wasn't what I immediately jumped to!

The harem has consistently built up over the series and the depth to the characters was impressive. I'm claiming Dray, his crazy self is all mine!

I'm a bit fan of strong female main character's and Worth is sitting in my top favourites.

A hopeful ending

The Nations is the last book in Their Champion series. I think I will always find myself coming back to the series, whether its months or years later.

I thought book 3 ended the series as it ended giving me feelings accomplishment and pride in the characters. But this book ties up characters and plot loose ends I was unaware of.

Its a beautiful ending.

It lost a star for the reflections. Every few paragraphs was a reflective one. Lots of dramatic quotable paragraphs of hope, accompkishment, survival, trauma, trials etc... It was too much. I have no doubt, you, reader, will skim/skip a lot.

A warrior queen Worth following

This series branded my heart. The sheer strength it takes to overcome a lifetime of loss, torture, rape, and near death is unimaginable. When Tanzanna sets her heart to making The North a Nation that is ruled as one, with peace, and free of the nightmare she left behind, she didn’t realize how many people would oppose.

I love these warrior queens, and the men who love them. This story is beautiful and I have loved watching each of them develop and grow as they learn to trust in one another.

This is a series with a lot of darkness, hurt, trauma, and loss, but also with strength and hope for a better tomorrow.
