King Maker

Audrey Grey — 2020

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black, this long awaited third book promises even more action and romance than the last! They broke the curse, but at what cost? Haven and her crew may be considered heroes, but they arrive back in Penryth harboring dangerous secrets. Plagued by nightmares, Haven struggles to control her newfound magic while Bell shrinks under the weight of their shared lie. When an emissary from Solissia shows up in Penryth and drafts Bell in a magical tournament, Haven is once again forced to follow the prince to foreign lands, this time to the bloodthirsty court of Archeron's mother. Trapped in a shifting landscape of dark politics, duplicitous immortals, and cruel sovereigns, Haven fights to keep Bell alive all without revealing their secret. But a terrible evil brews on the horizon. One that threatens the very fabric of the realm. Haven might be their only hope of stopping the impending darkness. But first she must learn to accept her own darkness and follow her heart--no matter where it leads. Welcome to the Kingdom of Runes where immortals and humans clash, light and dark magic reign, and mythical creatures lurk in the shadows. If you like fierce heroines, enemies-to-lovers romance, wild plot twists, and endearing characters, then you'll adore this continuation of Haven and Bell's story!

As the third installment of this series, but not final book, I was afraid it would be more of a filler book than a real add to the series. I did not expect to be thrown once more in this world so fast. I enjoyed everything and I was so happy to meet these characters once more. The end was perfect; I think I can say this is my favorite book of the series so far. I could see the author growth in terms of writing and composure, and most importantly, I could see the character development that I dread so much in every book. Not much to say because this was a good book that really met my expectance and left me anxiously waiting for the next (out november 2020). Final vote: 4,5/5
