Thank you NetGalley and Briar Boleyn for the eARC.

So I just finished this book, the last in the series and I’m just trying to gather my thoughts. I feel like I fairly enjoyed the majority of this book until I got to the last 15%. My biggest issue is that the 4 books are building up to this huge battle of Morgan and her father and it’s over in about 6 chapters (maybe more, maybe less I didn’t actually count). And then honestly, it was kind of confusing. Because in this short amount of time she finds out the truth of who she really is and who her family really is.

A few things that have irked me: first off why did Lancelet “die” but then what was the purpose of her coming back to life. She didn’t ever kill anyone super important. She didn’t end up wielding Excalibur like maybe we thought she would. She didn’t end up fighting in the final battle. She was just there. Then I don’t understand what the purpose of killing off Gawain, Odessa, and Nightclaw was. They absolutely could have lived and the story would’ve gone on just the same. It felt unnecessary. And don’t even get me started on naming Nightclaw’s offspring “Nightpaw”. Dude. Ick. And then what was the whole storyline with Rychel. What was actually the point of her sacrificing herself for this random girl who just shows up in the story and then we never hear about her again. Because the curse on the children wasn’t actually broken - or even discussed again for that matter. So for real. What was the point. And then again, what was the point of Kaye being in this deep sleep and supposedly going to die if the grail was broken. Because he ended up just waking up anyways and he was fine and the grail was broken. Which Morgan had no idea about so why wasn’t she sad about potentially having killed her brother in that moment? It wasn’t even talked about.

There’s just so many things that could’ve been done differently and I’m just glad this series is over.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

“I see forever with you by my side. Because long after these scars have faded away to nothing, I’ll still be standing beside you. You and I? We’re eternal.”


Knight of the Goddess is the fourth and final book of the Blood of a Fae series. I have enjoyed each book so much that I'm surprised with how long it actually took me to finish this one. Real life definitely got in the way, but I have zero regrets.

Morgan and Draven had me in a chokehold this entire series. From the very beginning, I wanted them to be together, but of course that didn't happen. Then, when they did finally get together, they still had issues because, you know, he saved her life, and now they are mated. Finally they are in love, truly in love, all about the mate life and off to kick some family ass to save the world.

Let's just say it. Morgan's family sucks ass. Her dad? Hated him. Her brothers and sisters? Hated most of them. Learning about what really happened to her aunts just about killed me. Then learning about what really happened to her and Draven in their past lives?!?! Really made me want to cry. So, it's fair to assume that I didn't shed a single tear for those monsters while they were breathing their last breath. Honestly, they died too quickly for me.

Speaking of deaths, there's just so much of it in this book. Some almost broke me, and I definitely shed some tears. I'm not sure if I will ever recover, but I am glad about one thing: another book. No, not in this series. But for a new series, Bloodwing Academy, that features Medra.... Pendragon. If you know, you know.

I don't want to spoil anything, but just know that I'm excited and hopeful. Or maybe I'm just completely wrong and diving into that series no matter what. Only time will tell.

I read this book last year and apparently didn't write my review so it's a little delayed. I've really enjoyed this series and was excited to see how Boleyn would finish the series. I can honestly say I did not predict how it would end.

I've enjoyed the journey that Boleyn has taken us on and I'm glad I read this series! I felt like some things were rushed in this book while others were drawn out. Book 2 is my favorite in the series but there were parts of each of the books I enjoyed. I can't wait to start the author's new series!

Knight of the Goddess is the final book of the series and it's full of action, blending mythological elements with fantasy.

I loved the way the characters and their relationships were delivered. te world-building is rich and the romance aspect added some depth to the action. I still recommend it to all that adore epic quests and divine destines full of twists and revelations.

This was the perfect ending to this series and i cannot wait to see what Briar will present us next.

Thank you net galley for providing me with this arc. Amazing end to the series! I loved the character development in this book and the overall plot. A few emotional bits here and there. Excited to follow medras story now

Knight of the Goddess is the final book of the series and boy did it deliver! The increasing tension throughout all the books and the feeling of dread all came to a head in this final instalment. The characters and their relationships were beautifully delivered and believable and I loved how the inclusion of romance didn't outweigh the storytelling.

I would definitely recommend this series!

Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn is a thrilling, action-packed fantasy that blends mythological elements with high-stakes adventure. Morgan Le Fay and Kairos Draven must face a growing evil while embarking on a perilous quest to destroy three powerful objects—the sword, the spear, and the grail. As they uncover ancient secrets and confront dangers across kingdoms, their unbreakable bond is tested. Boleyn’s world-building is rich, and the romance between Morgan and Draven adds depth to the action. Fans of epic quests, divine destinies, and intense romance will find this an exhilarating read full of twists and revelations.

This was a great 4th book in the series. I couldn't wait to get back to Morgan and Draven. I feel like there was the most character development in this book for Morgan than the first book. I also felt the writing has gotten more connected and fluid. Thank you Starwater Press for the ARC.

4th and final book of the series! There was definitely a lot of anticipation for this book, with how book 3 ended. For being the finale in the series, it was a little lacking for me. Some of the battles were more short-lived than I would have expected. It felt like I was reading them and then they were just over? Next chapter. They seemed to end so suddenly and left me wanting more. I didn't ... feel much... when we lost some characters. I felt like the sad moments weren't prolonged long enough for it to emotionally impact me such as with other books and series. That's also just my opinion. Overall it was good, not great. I would definitely still recommend this series as a whole, because the whole story is 100% worth reading.

Thank you to Briar Boleyn, Starpress, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really wanted to love this book, after really enjoying books 1-3, however I feel like they could have been wrapped up in fewer books. Book 4 did not captivate me like the others did, and I DNF this book, as I found both the storyline and the characters less compelling than in the previous novels in the series.

With that being said, I still extend a warm thanks to Briar Boleyn, Starwater Press & NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Ending of the Blood of the Fae series, Boleyn wraps up this series in an ultimate quest that ends the series spectacularly. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and the development of these characters from the beginning of book 1 until the end of book 4.

I had to give this one a 3 stars rating and I truly think it was a case of 'this should have been 2 or 3 books instead of 4'. I was honestly surprised when reading book 3 that there would be a fourth. This leads to so much filler, MMC POV that ends up being useless, main character making the least smart decisions she could just to prolong the plot and drag the story across that many books. What this created is also being able to guess at the heavily hinted and foreshadowed big revelation and everything feeling a little too low stakes for the build-up -- even some key characters' death didn't have the impact they should have had after being with them for so long.

The relationship between Morgan and Draven even felt boring and like old news -- unlike the intensity we had in book 2.

If you've read the other 3 it's worth wrapping up the story but this book was not well writing and was a bit of a disappointment based building up our expectations so high for an epic pay-off.

The way this kept me hooked..a series I would recommend to those that loved From Blood and Ash. The world building and character development stayed solid to the last word. I am sad this series came to an end but what a ride!

While I really enjoyed this final book in the series, I can't help but feel a little let down, though it’s probably more about my high expectations for a finale than anything else. This could totally be a "me" problem, but still, I expected more.

Writing:
A big thing that bothered me was how abruptly some scenes played out—especially the epic battle between Morgan and Gorlois. I was expecting this big, climactic showdown, but it ended so quickly and wasn’t really explored much from either Morgan's or Draven's POV. The whole battle felt cut short, and honestly, the same happened with a lot of the action scenes. Either someone swoops in to save the day, or the action just stops. The Battle at Tintagel was the only one that really had that epic fantasy feel, but even that left me wanting more. On the flip side, this book has the most action scenes of the entire series, so props for that.

The emotional weight of certain character deaths didn’t hit me as hard as I expected either. There were a few big losses, but the grief didn’t feel fleshed out enough, which made it hard for me to connect. Maybe I’ve just turned into a cold-hearted monster, who knows.

World-Building and Characters:
One thing I absolutely loved was how the gods and goddesses were woven into the story. The twists at the end? I didn't see them coming at all, and I loved how they played out. The world-building in this series has been consistently amazing.

Morgan and Draven? They’re at their strongest, both in character and physically. Their relationship is thriving, and you can't help but root for them. Sure, some of their lines were a little cheesy, but hey, it's a romance! And the spicy moments between them? *Chef’s kiss.*🔥 Their bond felt so deep, especially when Morgan says, “My flames danced in harmony with my mate’s shadows. The light to Draven’s darkness. Together we created a symphony of devastation.” Yes, please.

I also really liked the dual POV between Morgan and Medra. It gave us a fascinating look at Medra's growth—her anger, confusion, and loneliness were so relatable. But the mystery of why she ages so quickly was never fully explained, and it bugged me that we didn’t get closure on that.

Final Thoughts:
This book was still full of dark magic, found family, spicy romance, and non-stop action. But, honestly, it didn’t quite have the same wow factor as the previous two books. It’s a solid conclusion to the series, though, and if you’re into enemies-to-lovers romances with a dark fae twist on Arthurian legends, you’ll definitely enjoy this. The Blood of the Fae series was worth the time I put into it, and even though this final book wasn’t as thrilling as I hoped, I had a blast reading all four books.

Rating: 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 for the spicy romance and action. ⚔️💫

I couldn't bring myself to read this one until I had gone back and re-read the whole series again...

I feel bereft it is over... even thought it didn't tie everything up the way you would expect a finished series to be tied up... HMMMMM. Probably wishful thinking haha.

Morgan and Draven are hard to say goodbye to. I loved their journey. Morgan is probably one of my fave bad ass MCs ever and the fantastical world that was built around them kept me fully entertained.

The connection between all the characters was the magic for me. It was done with real skill.

I need to get the audiobooks next because I'm just not quite ready to say goodbye.

The storyline through all 4 books was exceptional and the dark fantasy genre will never look this good again!

4.5 stars.

I cannot recommend this series enough and this book really shows the level of story writing Briar Bolyen has..

As the final book in the series, this one disappointed me. It didn’t feel like a final book. There was too much exposition and the action started very late in the book. The ultimate quest felt very meh. And the Medra storyline was very… Renesmee, and I don’t know how I feel about that. Also everyone dies in such an anticlimactic way. Also also that carved name scar she’s had the whole series is wholly ignored in the epilogue where she wears a dress with a plunging neckline… where previously the author went to great lengths to describe the high neck clothes she wore. Did I miss something? The end action was fun and quicker to read but I was expecting more from this final book.

I'm an anomaly, this book was amazing, I can't wa9t f9r the next one! I can't believe i f9rgot to post this, and in sorry it was late, but it's absolutely worth reading!

Knight of the Goddess. My fellow readers. Morgan and Draven set out together to put an end to all who wants cause harm to their small circle of family. This last leg of the story covered so much. I was very happy that it tied up loose ends from the beginning of the series to Meranda’s part.
There were so many characters who contributed their mindset and their skills and their lives to save the lives of their kingdom, so that it may thrive for their children. I always love action and entertainment from a book and this book had a good amount of it.
It kept the book live and a page turner. The romance or shall I say steamy romance that happens with Draven and Morgan is always an added plus. The scene in the Church was a whoah! The book was great. The writing was talented.
I look forward to more writing from this writer. Until next my fellow readers. Read on!

While I enjoyed this series overall, I found myself feeling really bored during this book and just couldn't fully get into it.

Unfortunately, this book is not that exciting, but it is a great conclusion to the series. It's quite long and not that entertaining. It lacked that certain something. The two protagonists Morgan and Draven make a great team. I love their dynamic, their commitment to each other and their strength of character. They have grown so much over the course of the series. It has been fun to follow them. It was absolutely exciting to learn who Morgan really is and to meet her family. There were a lot of great new insights into the world. I really like the worldbuilding of the series anyway. You can feel the author's love for this world. I would have liked to see a few more magical creatures or unusual animals.
I'm really happy that there will be a new series about Medra. I really enjoyed getting to know her. I hope we get to meet Draven and Morgan again in the new series. Looking forward to it!
