Week 50 Review: A Vow so Bold and Deadly

From Goodreads:

Face your fears, fight the battle.

Emberfall is crumbling fast, torn between those who believe Rhen is the rightful prince and those who are eager to begin a new era under Grey, the true heir. Grey has agreed to wait two months before attacking Emberfall, and in that time, Rhen has turned away from everyone—even Harper, as she desperately tries to help him find a path to peace.

Fight the battle, save the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Lia Mara struggles to rule Syhl Shallow with a gentler hand than her mother. But after enjoying decades of peace once magic was driven out of their lands, some of her subjects are angry Lia Mara has an enchanted prince and magical scraver by her side. As Grey's deadline draws nearer, Lia Mara questions if she can be the queen her country needs.

As two kingdoms come closer to conflict, loyalties are tested, love is threatened, and an old enemy resurfaces who could destroy them all, in this stunning conclusion to bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer's Cursebreaker series. 

My Review:
Oh man, I loved reading this book! It was such a great end to the series, I wasn't sure how things would turn out, but it was unexpected and so excellent! I couldn't put it down, and oh, it was just a really great read! So much happened! 

The last book left off on an evil ending, with the war to come, but Rhen keeping the situation that Lilith is back to himself well, we know things are going to get worse before they get better. I really enjoyed following all of these characters as they were dealing with everything! 

Between the complications of the Emberfall throne, there's also the Shyl Shallow, because people aren't really acception fo Lia Mara as a ruler, which is a hard position to be in. It was just one more hardship that they had to deal with, but heavy is the head that wears the crown! 

I'm really pleased with the way that things wrapped up. I mentioned in my review of the last book that Rhen didn't deserve to rule after what he did, so I'm glad for how that all worked out. And I'm glad that they were able to heal the damages that were done to their relationship! Sure, there's a spin off series that we just got the first book earlier this year, but it looks like it's just set in the same world, that it follows different characters, and I can't wait to pick it up! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Brigit Kemmerer!
