Absolutely obsessed with Christian’s POV from my favorite book in the series. Fifty shades made me fall in love with the romance genre and getting to see Christian’s POV for this last book made all the pieces fit together!

I loved the 50 shades books so this was a given. I would totally recommend this to anyone who read the orginal books.

FREED is the third and final instalment in EL James’ contemporary, adult FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN erotic, BDSM romance trilogy told by Christian Grey.

Told from first person point of view (Christian) using present and memories from the past, FREED focuses on Christian Grey-his feelings, his emotions, his need for control, and his desperate attempts to protect the woman he loves.

For readers and followers of the Fifty Shades of Grey series, FREED and FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN reveals a deeper side to the man many have grown to love or hate. We are up close and personal with his need and rationale for control; his heart breaking earlier years with a crack-addicted mother, and the grooming of an adolescent and impressionable young man to become a dominant with a sadistic nature.

FREED acknowledges Christian’s somewhat embattled relationship with his adoptive parents Carrick and Grace, and his inability to recall anything about the missing months while in the care of social services. While Christian is a man obsesses about our heroine Ana Steele, he is also a man struggling with the demons from his past that continue to control his present including his ongoing and unhealthy ‘friendship’ with Mrs. Robinson, a relationship from which he battles to let go.

FREED is a detailed, complex and long story line that reveals so much more about Christian Grey than was ever revealed in the original series including plenty of information about his work, and his need to amass a corporate empire. There is supplementary plotline not found in the original series release, as well as some additional content only found in the movie adaptation but now added to ‘enhance’ the story for interest and familiarity. FREED is an edgy and dramatic addition to Christian Grey’s POV.

I love how EL James is able to keep the story fresh, even though we actually know the story! Seeing it from Christian's perspective just gives us such a deep understanding of the dynamics happening between him and Ana. Have the 2 "sets" of books, is brilliant and I think fans of the Grey books will want to read all 6.

I enjoyed Freed! There was something so comfortable and nostalgic about this one. It was fun to dive back into the world of Christian Grey. I can see why I liked the original series and reading about their marriage, lifestyle and family with my new 2021 lens was interesting, too. The story and power dynamic seems pretty tame to me now.

It is VERY lengthy. I was curious to read Christians’ POV, but did skim through MANY sections. I thought 2011 Christian was so dominant and alpha. If you liked the original series and are longing for some mid 2000’s memory lane vibes, check it out. No regrets!

Ahh I have loved Fifty Shades of Grey since college and I have loved reading from Christians perspective over these last few years. Ana had a tendency to drive me mad from time to time, so it’s nice to hear it from his side.

Also hello that wedding! All the heart eyes!
