Historia
King Eidolon has taken everything. My throne, my Shadowraith, and even my kingdom. I am a queen with no one to rule, and a tattered army that's not even mine. And hope is fading fast. Now the shadows who once tormented Reven live within me, hissing and wheedling—and enticing me to betray my friends. Which could be deadly for us all. Because without the guy I fell for, without Reven, I am all shadows…and no light.

Unhappy...
Revisado: 03-27-25
Oh my gosh! I just finished, and again, I'm struggling with the rating. I think I'm decided upon a three since the first book was the same rating. Book two improved, vastly. We saw the building up of relationships and were left with hope. But this conclusion didn't deliver. Too many characters took a backseat, or were just killed off. And the wow factor just wasn't there. I'm honestly not sure what to think, my heart is in ruins, and I'm sad that I invested so much time into this series. I absolutely loved the world building and magical system. The love aspect, not at all. Unhappy reader sighs...

Historia
Black Witch of prophecy Elloren Gardner Grey has unleashed her powers and embraced her legacy as a Dryad and guardian of the Forest. But the losses—of life, of love—have been almost too great to withstand as the Shadow continues to devour the world. With only a tattered shred of hope remaining, the Bearers of the Wand of Myth must battle their way back to each other to mount a final stand. But Elloren and her allies are not only facing Mage Vogel's advancing forces—the armies of the Eastern Realm will stop at nothing to see the Black Witch struck down.

So Very Sad
Revisado: 03-05-25
4 stars because I can't bring myself to ever give this series 3.
Oh my goodness... I've championed this series for years now and have recommended it endlessly. I was absolutely heartbroken when Lukas died, and I so wanted the forest to bring him back. With all the other magical happenings, this wouldn't have been that much of a stretch. And since the idea of gardens was introduced, a three paired relationship could have been beautiful! I'm so very sad that this never came to be.
We spent a lot of time in this book with couples hooking up. It was extremely off-putting. So much so that Elloren's POV wasn't really there. It could have been so moving, so powerful, and so epic. Then, toward the end, we skip a massive amount of time, and we don't get to witness her pregency or birth and all those tender moments that were so freely given out in the first books. Those moments and experiences that hooked us as readers were missing, and I'm mourning them, heavily.
This was so bogged down in repetitive themes of religion and bigotry. And yes, that world was terrible, and yes, it needed a resolution where they all came together. But I was left feeling just meh.
And we waited so long for this as it was picked up by a publisher, and the release date was pushed out. I'm just sad. Now, I have to wonder what the publisher did to this gorgeous series. Because it wasn't the words of Ms. Forest that I've come to crave.

Historia
My twin sister is the true queen of Aryd. She survives, hiding and clinging to life in the desert, while I reign as the false queen alongside the monstrous King Eidolon. There’s only one escape from this gilded prison: Reven. My Shadowraith. My heart. Only the shadows that he struggles to control are growing more sinister, more powerful. It’s just a matter of time before they turn on him…and on me.

Better Than The First
Revisado: 01-16-25
I liked this book so much more than the first. It had more action and more depth of feeling. I'm excited to begin the conclusion because now I'm invested. I still feel a disconnect with the characters, but I'll be pushing through. I need to see this queen save the day and get her guy back.

Better Read
Revisado: 12-21-24
This was a tad confusing with the passages of time, the different points of view. Especially so toward the end with the transition from Clara to Sugar Plum. That aside I think if one was reading this, they'd be easily delighted from beginning to conclusion. It's whimsical and dreamlike with tender scenes and brilliant imagery throughout. If you loved the movie, this is just so much more!

Historia
Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Mixed Feelings
Revisado: 12-10-24
I'm gonna be a little tougher in my rating for this review, since it's traditionally published and therefore had access to resources that Indies struggle with. Like developmental editors...and a marketing team.
This so easily could've been a four-star for me. But...I didn't love it. While it was intriguing, there was something missing. The build-up and tension are spot on. The pacing is slow, and when you stretch a book into a trilogy, this sometimes happens. The character development wasn't detailed. I'm assuming this changes as we progress through each book. While there were moments that drew me in, the hot and cold drove me away. I don't feel an overwhelming need to jump into the next book. I can assume what happens next. There aren't twists and turns and those my friends are what keep me glued to the pages.

Listened to this audiobook and it was highly entertaining. The full cast made this very easy to get lost in each scene. The Nutcracker is absolutely an unforgettable tale and just perfect as we approach the holiday season.

Historia
As a lady's companion, Clara Hartwright never receives much attention from anyone. And that's precisely how she likes it. With a stormy past, and an unconventional plan for her future, it's far safer to remain invisible. But when her new employer is invited to a monthlong holiday at a remote coastal abbey, Clara discovers that she may not be as invisible as she'd hoped. At least, not as far as one gentleman is concerned.

Bittersweet
Revisado: 11-06-24
Bittersweet and beautiful! The series conclusion was just as precious and well penned as its predecessors. Who wouldn't want to see all the boys attain their happily ever afters!? I absolutely adored how each book was unique with engaging characters and plots that kept those pages turning.
If swoony romance that's sweet and tender makes your heart glow, don't let this unputdownable series pass you by.

Loved the Narrator
Revisado: 11-02-24
Dashing, swoony, and oh so thrilling! This was truly a book that spoke to my heart and whisked me away. These characters were stunning and throughly developed in all their broken glory. Together, they mend pieces of the other and build a future that anyone would envy.
Each book in this unputdownable series has been so different in its complicated, intricately woven plot. But the core of belonging and discovering home has set a tone of whimsy and heartbreaking moments that keep you glued to these pages.
I can't wait to leap into the next book! Mimi Matthews always leaves me feeling refreshed with a warm glow in my heart.

This was certainly very memorable and twistsy. I enjoyed seeing all the legendary characters make appearances, and the ending made me teary-eyed. If a gender bent retelling piques your interest, give this a read!
