There are 12 uses of mild language and around 2 uses of moderate language.“I’m confident in my strengths, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about my weaknesses.”Įmberfall 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. A character becomes pregnant out of wedlock. Another scene leads to a little more detail before, once again, fading to black. One such scene features partial undressing, caressing, and fade-to-black sex with characters chatting about their lack of inexperience in the bedroom. Quite a lot of sexual content makes an appearance, including at least two makeout sessions that lead to more. Rated: Moderate, for violence, magical torture, blood, and some gory descriptions.

However, I also believe the writing has gotten better as the stories progressed, and the second half of this book definitely kept me up late plowing toward the final pages and an ending that has left some fans hoping for a spinoff series.

While that murkiness of morals adds a sense of realism to the story and the struggles the characters face, it made me respect some of the characters less, and, at times, it even caused me to detach from the story. Horrible things have been done and said, and along the way, the line between right and wrong has been blurred. Rhen and Grey have proven to be complex characters who have evolved a long way from A Curse So Dark and Lonely (but not necessarily in a good way). And if you’re hoping for the perfect happily ever after - like I did - you may be in for a surprise.Ī Vow So Bold and Deadly has an even darker, grittier feel than its predecessors. With the threat of imminent war and broken trusts, emotions are high in this conclusion to the Cursebreakers series - for the characters and the reader. Now, Grey and his magic threaten to bring war upon its inhabitants again.Īs the conflict draws closer, both brothers fear peace will have to be won through broken bonds and bloodshed. Syhl Shallow enjoyed peace once when magic was driven out of it. Meanwhile, in Syhl Shallow, Lia Mara struggles to be a better, less cruel, ruler than her mother, but some in her kingdom are still loyal to her sister, who should have been queen instead, and are not eager to let go of the old ways. Grey has agreed to wait two months before bringing war and challenging Rhen for the Emberfall throne, but the more time passes, the more Rhen turns away from everyone - even Harper, who is desperate to find a path to peace … for everyone.

Emberfall is crumbling, torn between those who are loyal to Rhen and those who are eager to see Grey, the true heir, on the throne.
