Thank you Orbit Books and Netgalley for giving me an ARC of this book for an honest review. All thoughts and feelings expressed are my own.

This is the third and final book in the Goddess War Series. Due to this being the final book, I am going to try to keep this review short and spoiler free. This is a multiple POV series, and as the story grows you get to see perspectives from all over the continent they are living on. Each country is very different, and I loved seeing how they represented all the different cultures and religions in this story.

This final book was a wonderful ending to the trilogy. At the end of the book, the author went into the future a little bit and gave us the closure we all needed. Throughout this series I was very attached to Sonya and her ending I found to be interesting. It was definitely one that I did not see coming until it happened. Sebastian’s ending was everything that I could have hoped for and more. Sebastian grows so much throughout this series, and I was beyond happy to see the ending that he received. Jorge’s ending was utter perfection. I will say no more on his because you won’t really see that coming until you read this book.

The first book in this series will always be my favorite. There was just something about it that I just loved. Books two and three were not bad books, they just did not live up to the same magic I felt in that first one.

This is a vastly underrated series, and I love how the author made room to write other books in this series if they choose to.

Wrapping up a trilogy is a large, difficult task. Doing so in a way that will satisfy readers and the author even more so. For me, The Wizard of Eventide hit the mark, but it was only upon reading the very end that I would have pronounced myself “satisfied.” Previously, I might have said that I was…expectant.

As I read I struggled to remember why I’m supposed to care about this revolution in Raíz. Kante was briefly interesting and Izmoroz ended up being mildly horrifying, but Raíz is just dull. The interludes with Marzanna were just as bad though. Throughout this book, it was difficult to find a single character journey to really take an interest in except for what seemed to be an allusion in the prologue to Skovron’s other trilogy, which I enjoyed rather a lot. Perhaps Irina, whose strength of character and purpose was admirable throughout the trilogy, even when she was at odds with the characters who were ostensibly the heroes.

Overall, it is a satisfying conclusion that makes up for a mostly forgettable second book, but doesn’t quite live up to the first book. If the cover art weren’t so good, I’m not sure I’d bother keeping them, but I’m glad to have read them.

I didn't realize that this was part of a series. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I could have because I had to read the others first so quickly.

I did find myself thinking about this book and its characters a lot after finishing but that was because I felt that they could have been better. I didn't find myself sucked in by this series. Overall, it's okay.

Thank you to Orbit Books and Netgalley for the complementary eBook and physical ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

*stands and gives a 12 minute standing ovation* Now THAT'S how you finish off a series! Oh my god I had such a blast reading this final installment of the Goddess War Trilogy. I loved how each book in the series was better than the last, all setting up such a grand and comprehensive world with multiple countries, factions, fleshed out characters, and magic systems; all leading to a phenomenal finale.

I was up until 2am to finish The Wizard of Eventide because I could not put it down! I was hooked! The battles, the magic, the plots within plots, the tactics, all of it was just enthralling. And then for everything to come full circle??? I won't say more because I refuse to spoil the perfect ending. But wow did it blow my freaking mind!

And the continued character development was perfection. It really made the story feel more emotional, especially in the end. Furthermore I loved that near the end I was on the edge of my seat unable to predict what would happen next. Kelley J. Skovron wove such a fantastic epic fantasy, and I couldn't be more thankful to them. Side note, as a Latinx reader, I really appreciated and loved the Latinx representation throughout the whole series, with the beautiful and bad ass Raizian's.

Being on this journey with Sonya, Sebastian and Jorge has been such a privilege and honor that I'll never forget. These three will always hold a special place in my heart, and quite honestly this book has solidified this series a spot in my favorite fantasy series category.

Amazing! Just fantastic! Major new book in fantasy world and something you wouldn't want to miss! Trust me and read it!
