Knight of the Goddess (Blood of a Fae book 4) by Briar Boleyn is an enemies to lovers, fantasy novel. I guess they say all great things must come to an end right. This book did not hold back on the emotions. I spent the majority of the book going through the whole range of emotions. I adore the characters and the continued growth and development that they go through. The plot is interesting and exciting all while being centered in a beautiful world.

Morgan and Draven continue on the path of trying to defeat her father. At the same time their love continues to grow and develop. They bear a lot of responsibilities now and carry a lot of weight on their shoulders.

What an incredible finish to the series. There were tears but also happiness. I am so glad I got pulled into this world and enjoyed it all.

Beware the dread curse of Three...
The sword, the spear, the grail’s mystery…

This last book in the Blood of the Fae series is spectacular! What a fantastic end to an amazing journey. This book was an emotional roller-coaster that answered the mysteries set up in the other books, although it broke my heart in the process!
I really enjoyed the introduction of the third point of view in this book, which made it stand out from the other books.
Overall, what I have loved with this entire series is how each book is truly original. They aren't standalone books and there is a linear progression of the story, but each book introduces new characters and elements, changing the story from what we might have expected at the conclusion of the previous book.
Thank you to Netgalley and Starwater Press for proving me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is the final book in the series and honestly, I did not want the story to end. I couldn't imagine a world without Morgan, Draven, the Exmoors and everyone else in their circle.

"There is darkness in all of our souls. But there is also light. Just because the darkness threatens doesn't mean the light won't win out in the end."

The author makes realistic, though heart-breaking, decisions when it comes to character deaths which play important roles in the plot advancement as well as development of the central characters. Their grief, trauma, heart-break, love for one another all drive their actions as well as the need to save the people of Camelot and it's neighboring places.

This book sets the stage for Morgan's final quest to destroy the grail, the sword and the spear through which she discovers truths not only about herself, but her family and her origins. As she moves to confront this truth, it's a race against time to save the people she loves. The finale though slightly predictable, is very well executed and provides the much needed closure to this beautiful series!

We all need the kind of love Morgan and Draven have. This can be felt from this one quote: "Be everything you truly are. That's all I'll ever ask of you, my silver one."

With this concludes my journey through Blood of a Fae, a series that I highly recommend for fans of retellings of legends with magic, romance and adventure all wrapped up in one!

Thoughts:

Short summary - In the aftermath of the previous book there is a calm before the last storm - Morgan’s father. Morgan and Draven set out to destroy the three objects of power - the grail, the sword, and the spear.

Wow, if this is the end of this series then the author did amazing. If it is, I do wish that there were more parts but everything was tied together beautifully.

All of the deaths in this book were heartbreaking but I’m so glad that some good things did come out of it. This book was magical and I absolutely want my own exmoor!

Thank you Netgalley for an ecopy for review.

Morgan has assisted in bringing the end of the war to her home people and those she loves there. However, it is uncovered that there are more pressing issues they need to work to resolve. There is an evil that is closing in. Morgan, Kairos, and other friends will move to meet it head-on to save the world. It does start slow, but does pick up. There are some losses that are heartbreaking, but the finality of this story/series brings together the friends and lovers to closer relationships. This book is great for new adults and finalizes the series, closing all loops and answers all questions leaving nothing untied. Overall, good job with this series!

What a fantastic series this was and I’m sad to see it come to end. I ate this series up and truly enjoyed the story and characters. Yes, there was some very evil people, committing evil deeds but I believe the story would have been lacking without. This ending had parts that made me sad but it was great to see it all wrapped up. It did feel abrupt in regards to the end conflict but that’s ok. I want to say so much more but I don’t want to reveal any spoilers. What’s not a spoiler is Morgan’s bio dad really sucks!! And Draven is the absolute best, he had a rocky start though lol. I believe this is a series I would definitely read again. I also will be keeping an eye out for Briar Boleyn books :)
Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read this ARC.

The Blood of Fae series by Briar Boleyn Author is EVERYTHING!
I have come across very few authors that write well enough that I am actually devastated when something happens to a character but Briar Boleyn had me wanting to throw my kindle and rage! This series held me captive from the very first chapter until the end!!! She has definitely become an auto-buy author!

Fabulous series, hard to comment without spoilers but it was such a rollercoaster. I hope to read futures publications!

I was eagerly awaiting the fourth book in the ‘Blood of a Fae’ series and it did not disappoint. It wrapped things up nicely, and wasn’t just fan service. All of Morgan’s past gets connected so you can feel a sense of closure. There were a few unexpected turns that were heartbreaking (I grew attached).

Morgan meeting her father was everything.

I want a battle cat of my own now.

Thank you NetGalley and Starwater Press for providing me with this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

The first book was the only one I liked in this series. Honestly, this series could be a duology, dont know why there had to be 4 of them...
Also "dark fantasy romance" seems to be pushing it a bit

Morgan, Draven and the gang are on the road again with the goal of destroying powerful, magical objects and searching for the gods themselves.

This book has upped the stakes for our bffs, and not all will survive (😭) But luckily that doesn't stop Morgan and Draven from finding some alone time in their tents (if ya know what I mean 😉😉

This is a captivating fantasy novel that transports readers to a realm of ancient legends, powerful magic, and epic battles. Centered around the beloved characters of Morgan Le Fay and Draven, the story delves into a thrilling quest that tests their bond and the fate of Camelot. From the outset, the novel establishes a foreboding atmosphere with the ominous curse of Three looming over the land. As an ancient evil awakens, Morgan and Draven must embark on a perilous journey to confront its growing power. The stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are unimaginable. Boleyn's writing is both evocative and immersive, painting a vivid tapestry of the Arthurian world. The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own unique motivations and struggles. Morgan, a powerful sorceress, is both fierce and vulnerable, while Draven, a skilled knight, is loyal and compassionate. Together, they form an unbreakable bond that is tested to its limits.
The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the eternal nature of the human spirit. Morgan and Draven's love is a force that transcends time and adversity, proving that even in the face of darkness, hope and redemption can prevail. Boleyn's inclusion of Arthurian lore and mythology adds depth and authenticity to the story. She weaves ancient legends into the tapestry of her own creation, creating a rich and believable world. I highly recommend this book to fans of epic fantasy, stories of love, courage, and destiny.

3.75 rounded up to a 4

The fourth and final installment in the Blood of a Fae series!!

This book was definitely more fast-paced than the previous ones in the series, sometimes maybe a bit too fast, but it still caught my attention and kept it.

We get some more development for Morgan and Draven’s relationship, which I felt was really well done in this book. We also got development for them as individuals, which I think is always important to include alongside a relationship.

And there are so many reveals in this book! And we also got to see a lot more cool and fantastical creatures, which I’m always a fan of seeing.

As the final book in the series, I was definitely expecting a little more. I think there was so much action that had to occur, that some of the emotion of the story didn’t quite land or fully come together. I just didn’t have the reactions I think I was supposed to have at some moments.

I haven’t read many Arthurian retellings, but I would definitely recommend this one. Especially if you love Fae and a slow-burn enemies to lover-type situation. Who doesn’t love all of that stuff??

Thanks to NetGalley for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is already up and my review on TikTok will be up with my monthly wrap-up at the end of the month.

This book felt a bit like heading to Mordor to find Sauron. The sex scenes were a little cringe. My least favorite book of the series, but overall I loved the series.

Super exciting and creative adventure!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced release copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was the fourth instalment of this series and it did not disappoint. I very much liked that we get to see the main characters in new and more domestic situation as well as all the twist and turns that come along in their journey. You might want to keep some tissues around as there are some sadder moments. Lastly, I did enjoy the surprise and twist character- I really hope that we get to see more of their story.

Briar Boleyn left me in tears with this one! The final book in the Blood of Fae series is action packed. Morgan and Draven set out on the ultimate mission of sacrifice to save their loved ones. Loss, love, joy, and so many other emotions filled me while reading.

The final book in the Blood of a Fae series exceeded all of my expectations. The conclusion of Morgan and Draven's journey was nothing short of epic, with a thrilling final battle that had me on the edge of my seat. Throughout the series, the characters have been on a quest to find the man they've been hunting, but as the story unfolds, doubts arise about his true identity. The plot twist that awaits is sure to leave readers stunned.

From the moment I started reading the first book, I was captivated by this series. The writing is exquisite, the story is meticulously crafted, and the level of spice is just right. It truly is a remarkable and unforgettable read.

I would like to express my gratitude to Briar Boleyn for creating such a fantastic series. I would also like to thank Netgalley and the publishing team for giving me the opportunity to read and review all of the books in this series.
