Summary
The next in Elizabeth Helen's Amazon top 5 and Sunday Times bestselling Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally gray characters, a stupidly hot villain, and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All five of them.

This was probably my favourite book in the series so far. The plot finally took centre stage, there was plenty of action, and I felt much more invested in what was happening than I did in some of the earlier books.
The characters were definitely one of the strengths of this series, especially Caspian, whose journey has been my favourite from the beginning. This really felt like his book, and I loved seeing him finally take control of the Green Flame instead of letting it control him. I never connected with Rosalie quite as much, though. She’s a little too “love can fix everything” for my taste, so I didn’t have the same emotional investment in her that I did with some of the other characters. That’s definitely more of a personal preference than a criticism of the book.
Overall, every book in this series has been a solid 4 stars for me. It’s been a consistently enjoyable fantasy romance with a great found family, an interesting world, and characters I’ve really enjoyed following. I’ll definitely be picking up the next book when it’s released—I just won’t be counting down the days until it arrives.

******** SPOILERS BELOW ********
Caspian absolutely stole this book for me. Watching him finally defeat his father and master the Green Flame instead of being consumed by it felt like the perfect payoff to everything he’d been through.
I was genuinely surprised when Castle Tree was destroyed. Caspian’s mother attacking and bringing it all down really raised the stakes, and I wasn’t expecting the group to end up hiding in the human world by the end of the book.
Rosalie’s earlier act of kindness coming back to save everyone was a nice full-circle moment, and I loved Caspian’s final words about having already lived in the shadows and now being the one to help his found family into the light. It was a really fitting end to his character arc.
I was sad to see Rosalie’s dad die protecting Wren. I also expected Farron’s sacrifice earlier in the book to have more lasting consequences, so I was surprised that it didn’t.
The ending wasn’t one that left me desperate for the next instalment, but it did leave me looking forward to continuing the series whenever the next book is released. It’s been a fun journey, and I’m excited to see where the story goes from here.
