I've just finished the whole trilogy and these books were the cause of many late nights! Brigid Kemmerer is my new favourite author and all three titles in this series are among the most exciting, intriguing, atmospheric and empowering books I've ever read. I've been recommending the cursebreakers trilogy to all the readers I know. Absolutely amazing - I would give this 100 stars if I could!

An absolutely beautiful story and wrap up to a trilogy that will stick with me for life. I adored the characters and how they grew apart as well as together.

I loved this series but by the end was mostly in it just for Grey, this book didn’t disappoint. If you read and loves the others this is a must read!

A wonderful ending to a great series. I love this whole series and was highly anticipating the ending. It did not disappoint. It was such a great conclusion to the story and wrapped up in a way that was satisfying and yet saddening that it was all over. My favorite part of this series is the characters especially the female ones. I am a huge fan of how badass both Lia Mara and Harper are. They both stand up for themselves and dont let anything hold them back. They are exactly what I want to see of heroines in my fantasy series.

A beautiful ending to a fantastic series! I only wish there was more Rhen and Harper as well as a bit more to the story but dont we all with series we love!

A lovely conclusion to a very intriguing and new take on a retelling. My only negative thought would be that this series isn't longer.

Though this book was beautifully written, I did which for some characters to have a different end game in all of this, I thought they deserved different, better even.

Nonetheless, great read, highly recommend it.

So, this series holds a very special place in my heart and it might be the only Young Adult series that I inhale in three days tops. I was such a big fan of this series that I actually called four of my local Barnes and Nobel to see if their shipment had come in so that I could go pick it up on the 26th so that I can review the whole book instead of just the excerpt provided by NetGalley. Sadly, I was not able to get my hands on a physical copy but now own an ebook audiobook and a physical book. I also went ahead and bought books one and two in paperback so I could have the series considering I will for sure read this series again. I love all the characters. Harper, Rhen, Grey, and Lia Mara are all back in an installment that will leave you breathless. If you read A Heart so Fierce and Broken then you know Grey is the rightful heir to Emberfall. The book is told from 4 points of view of the four major players in the second book. What I loved is how all four of these characters are beautifully flawed yet motivated by duty, honor, and the fear of the unknown to do the right thing. The chapters that intertwine with Harper and Rhen are devastating not only is Rhen dealing with the betrayal of his brother but the wicked sorcerous Lilith reappears in this book and as wicked as she is I really would have been said if there wasn’t a Lilith appearance. I will say that this is the only book in this series that is getting a 4-star rating. Why you might ask? Well, let me explain. While all the loose ends are tied up and we got a semi- satisfying ending I felt like there was more story to be told. Is there a book four that is the only question I have left? Now I will be happily waiting for Defy the Night that comes out in September of this year.

To be fair I didn't know that this was just a sampler when I requested it. That said, I feel like the sequels weren't as compelling as the first installment (A Curse So Dark and Lonely) though I have also moved away from reading young adult. I feel as though Harper's character changed drastically from the first novel and not in a forward development. I was just wanting more.

A good finale to a strong series.

I liked that we got four different POVs: Grey, Rhen, Harper, and Mara, which allowed us to follow all four main characters. The plot was a slow burn and the writing style remained the same throughout the trilogy. I was satisfied with how we leave the characters.

Omgosh!! I am in LOVE with this series by Brigid Kemmerer! Grey is the man and I cannot wait to get back into this world and finish it off.
There is going to be conflict and love lost and gained and battles with magic! What more could you ask for.

Thank You NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to get this early excerpt to read. It was amazing!

I absolutely love the Cursebreaker series and the final installment was no different! I was so happy to finally be able to read this one. The copy I was gifted on Netgalley was not compatible with Kindle and I can't read well on my phone so I held off reading until I could purchase the actual book. I thought Kemmerer did a fantastic job closing up the story. Without including spoilers, I appreciated how Grey and Lia Mara, Rhen and Harper ended up. It felt like the right ending. I don't know if the details surrounding Lia Mara at the end were necessary (I never got the impression that Grey would be ready for that) but aside from that I did like everything else. The writing was quick and speedy. Overall I would recommend!

This excerpt was just the taste that I needed but also not anywhere close to everything I needed because I NEED MORE! The stakes are high and I cannot wait to finish this series!

I did not read the teaser but the book in its entirety when it was released. It started out slowly but picked up considerably and was a great story. A very good end to the series. It will leave you wanting the series to continue.

This was a brief excerpt (4 chapters) of the book, but it already had me hooked. The second book ended on such a cliff-hanger! I really appreciate NetGalley allowing me a preview of the book. I can't wait to continue the series!

I'm looking forward to finishing this trilogy. The end of book 2 saw the four main characters seemingly at odds with each other.

I am obsessed with this series. Brigid Kemmerer is such a talent and this entire series took a kernel of the original Beauty & the Beast story and made it its own incredible, complex saga.

This book is definitely a sold 4.5 for me and is a fantastic 3rd book in the Curse Breaker series!
The first book honestly didn’t grab my attention, but book two was even better, which is really hard to do. Now, Vow has surpassed them both! I really wish there was more in the series because I feel like Brigid has finally found her stride with this one and I would love to see more of the story now that she’s really killing it.

This was a brief excerpt of the third (and final) book in the Cursebreakers trilogy. I have not read any of these books yet, they are however on my to read and to buy list. Reading this excerpt really convinced me of the greatness of this trilogy and the author. I was compelled the entire time and can't wait to pick up the entire trilogy soon!

This arc was gifted by Bloomsbury and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited to see A Vow So Bold and Deadly on NetGalley I didn’t even realize it was only an excerpt. Oops. I am basing my review on thee brief excerpt alone until I have finished reading the book, which I immediately bought after reading the excerpt!

Fans is this series, you will not be disappointed. I am so excited to see where the rest of this story goes and how it comes to a culmination. As soon as I finish the book I will submit a final review.

A Vow So Bold and Deadly is available now!

I misread the listing and was expecting a full book, so that was on me. The chapters I received and read were great and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book at a later date.
