miss_elite's review against another edition
This trilogy started off in the most amazing way and now it’s at a point where it’s just lost the spark. The plot is dragging its feet through sludge and you can TELLLLLL. I just wanted to find out what happened after that cliffhanger and yeah. Now that I’ve seen what’s on the other side, disappointed doesn’t even sum it up for me. It could have been carried on, in a much better manner but the way the author lost the readers interest, slowly but surely, tells me all I need to know for how the ending is going to feel at the end. I’m all about fair chances, but we have to be realistic, and this constant downward spiralling slope of the plot is quite alarming for me as a reader.
Although this trilogy started off by getting me out of my reading slump, it’s put me right back into it by not being all I had hoped for it to be. Going to have to find the next book to pull me out of this mess. :/

Lacklustre ending. Left me with more questions than answered. Felt like they put duct tape on the plot lines and marked them resolved.

A satisfying end to the series. It all came together nicely in the end.

I definitely wouldn’t reread the series I thought the main character throughout the series lost character depth and I felt like the side character (Sagen) had more depth to her which I wish I got more to see of. I feel like the book should have been longer instead of cutting off important scenes and having more developed characters and plot. I did find the gods aspects interesting and the magic but the characters were all basic and the plot was solved so easily. Personally my favourite love interest was Lee and Alexander. I didn’t care for Ty at all.. he was annoying. Didn’t like the ending as well. *Spoiler** The whole 3 consorts thing at the end was not it... In conclusion, I’m disappointed but it wasn’t a terrible read. I will give this author another go maybe in the future but it’s not a priority.

I loved this book. The ending was as suspected, but it doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. All the Easter eggs and bread crumbs were very easily laid out. Not a lot of guess work. But the characters are *chef’s kiss*. I didn’t read the kindle unlimited version so I didn’t get the bonus chapter that really shows this book is a reverse harem. I’ll have to go back and finish that.

I was really curious how James would write herself and her characters out of the mess she left us with. But, the literal Cliffhanger from the last book was solved rather quickly, in an amazing and impressive way that truly made sense, and then the story rapidly raced towards the epic finale where all pieces of the puzzle came together.
In this book all three of the princes got their moment of glory, their moment to shine, but in the epic battle at the end, it was our lost heir that did all the hard work. I loved how our princess never really became a damsel in distress, even though she never shied away from asking help when she truly needed it either. I also loved how the princes each had their own talents and qualities and let everyone do what they were good at.
Just like the previous books from James there was also a really nice balance between the smutty scenes, the political scenes and the action scenes. Exciting moments, tender and intimate moments and clever plotting moments were mixed perfectly and this mix kept me on my toes as a reader. Not once during the story was I bored and I just wanted to read on and on and on until I reached the very end.
And maybe the thing I loved best in this story was the ending. It was not a classical "all is well and they lived happily ever after". The ending of the story was a promise. A promise that their happily ever after came a little more within reach. But they're not there yet. And therefore the ending was also another promise: A continuation is gonna come in 2020! I'm already really looking forward to it!

I kind of speed read this one since it had been a while since I was interested in the series and I didn't expect it to end well.
Surprisingly, it ended well! Actually a more believable ending than some of the fantasy/RH stories I have read lately.
The trials were brutal, in fact the whole story was a bit more brutal than I expected, but it worked.
Strong ending, and then it was kind of a reality check to reach the end and see the note from the author reminding us that this series had taken place over 3 weeks.
WHAT! I called a foul then and labelled it too Insta-love then. Its easy to forget how quickly the characters get together when the release dates take a year.
Oh well, I enjoyed the premise, the men were yummy, the love scenes well done and I guess they will all have to figure out how to share nicely...
