This is the epic ending to the series. In this book we see the gods that we have learned much about. It was strange to go from our beloved main characters to meeting gods. Spoiler alert, they are not nice.

Of course this epic tale would not be possible without sacrifices. There are some heartbreaking deaths and some disappointment that we see very little of certain characters.

I’m sad to leave this universe but I’m happy to have read such a great saga.

Thank you NetGalley , Starwater Press and Briar Boleyn for this series!

I said in my review of Empress of Fae that so much felt wrapped up to me with the storyline of the overall series. Of course, Morgan still needs to deal with her father. Like many other fantasy series, the evil villain has increased in might and severity with each book. And maybe that was the problem. Morgan's brother was built up as the big bad for most of the series, and he was dealt with in book 3, now we have to deal with Morgan's father. And he's an even bigger big bad than her brother was. Actually, her brother was nothing compared to her father. Sometimes series that follow this path can be frustrating.

Knight of the Goddess starts off with a battle with Morgan's blood siblings that seems like all hope is lost. Automatically losing a battle with no hope of winning mixed with feeling a sense of completion after the previous book left me struggling to feel invested in Knight of the Goddess. And I kept putting it down in favor of reading other things. But of course, there must be hope. There's no point in a book with zero hope. Once things began to turn around, I was finally invested enough to want to finish this book.

-But an Ursidaur mates for a purpose, and when that purpose is over, they are solitary once more. We prefer it that way.”
How exactly does mating work with a they/them non-binary bear creature?

The inclusion of Morgan's niece narrating, Medra, was okay. I had a feeling where it was all leading to in the end. She's a confused kid who grew up way too quickly with the people she needed most not able to be close by her. But if they'd been there, the outcome likely wouldn't have gone as it did.

-"You should hate me." "But I don't," she snapped. "Stop trying to make me. It won't work." I looked away. "It worked with everyone else." "Is that what you think? That you succeeded?" I wouldn't face her. "They left, didn't they?" "Your aunt? Draven? They left to save you, Medra. Not because they didn't care."

-"You don't have to consider me your family," Odessa said quietly. If she was hurt, I couldn't tell. "I can still consider you mine."

One of the biggest pet peeves that I had with Knight of the Goddess was the transformations that Morgan goes through without the reader being aware of it. She's keeping some secrets from Draven, so we know there's something up. But it felt so jarring. I can't discuss it in detail because it would be spoilers, but who Morgan ends up being, and her relation to her father and sisters were confusing, didn't feel like it was planned out the entire series but felt like it was a convenient direction to conclude what had come to be a mess. Pull in the entire system of gods in this world and it just didn't add up to me the way it was supposed to.

-I prayed that they would suffer no further losses along the way to Camelot.
Prayed to who? Morgan didn't believe in or respect the gods in this world. And yet not greater beings were ever offered as a true God.

Ultimately, I found that I was a little disappointed with Knight of the Goddess. I would have been completely fine if the series had stopped after book 3. The entire book felt a little forced to me. I still liked the main characters, Draven and Morgan. But the rest of the cast of characters checked too many diversity boxes to be real. As a matter of fact, more of the secondary characters fall into the LGBT boxes than not. And I don't like to feel like plot, characters, religion, politics, or anything is being forced upon me as a reader. In the end, Knight of the Goddess gets 3.5 Stars. Not terrible, but not great either. Have you read Knight of the Goddess? What did you think? Let me know!

Although I loved the series. I found this last book extremely long and my interest in the characters faded. I understand this was setting the story for the spin off series. but I struggled.

Was I ready for this series to end? Absolutely not! Knight of the Goddess brings the conclusion to Morgan and Draven's story and it gave me so many surprises I defiantly wasn't ready for - I wont include spoilers for anyone but what a ride! Boleyns writing is fantastic and has you hooked, but we knew that from the series as a whole. New POVs, Final Quests and how many died?! left us with a good over all finale.

knocked to a four star only because I wished it was a little longer, and made the battles more thought out as they just felt over before they even began. I also had a re read the whole plot twist with Morgan!

Thanks to Starwater press and Briar Boleyn for the final arc in this series for exchange for an honest review.

Just as excellent as the earlier books in the series. Definitely worth continuing, such a great story beaytifywritten.

The perfect conclusion to an incredible series! Knight of the Goddess brings everything together for Morgan and Draven in such an epic way. The fantasy action is thrilling, and the romance is beautifully woven into the story. I was completely immersed in this world from start to finish, and I can’t believe I’ve finished the entire series—it was an absolute joy to read. Briar Boleyn’s writing never fails to captivate me, and I’m so glad I followed this journey to the end. Highly recommend for anyone who loves fantasy romance with rich storytelling and memorable characters!

Happy RELEASE day to one of my favorite romantasy series!!!

The final installment in Morgan Le Fay’s story as an Arthurian retelling. You. Do. Not. Want. To. Sleep. On. This. Story.

Available on KU or for purchase on Amazon - or both 😉 Everyone needs their shelf trophy!

While ya’ll are waiting for the next Rebecca Yarros and SJM novels, I’ll be in the world of Aercanum obsessing over the fae-inspired version of Jason Mamoa as Kairos Draven.😋

Seriously, this story has my heart and I’m so thankful to have stumbled upon this series last year and subsequently binged every book while marveling in the works that Briar has created and brought to life on paper.

A true 5⭐️ series!🫶🏽

Thank you Net Galley and Publishers for letting me read an arc of this book in return for an honest review.

*slight spoilers*
The end of a series you love is always bittersweet and this one was no different. Was this like every other fantasy book? yes, did I still enjoy it? also yes. Evil comes to town and only a young girl can protect the ones she loves. She goes off on an adventure making friends and enemies along the way. She learns she's not actually mortal and she has magic. Battles are fought, people die. The guy she thought would hurt her is actually a good guy, and ends up being her mate. He's a shadow daddy and spicy things happen. The final boss battle comes, she loses friends and family along the way. She learns she's actually all powerful, a goddess, and she can save all humanity. The war is over, peace has come to the kingdom, she can finally be happy.

It's all the same but it was still a great journey. I got attached to some characters and of course they had to go and die on me. Tears were shed. Some of their deaths felt too short though, especially if they were supposed to be great warriors. Felt kinda rushed. And the ending was good, but also felt rushed. Like for 4 books we're building up to this all powerful and mighty battle and then it lasts like 5 mins. Other than that the world building was great. It was an adventurous series that I'm sad to see go.

3.5 stars
Struggling to write this review because I loved the first three books so much! The bar for this book was high. I did love the ending, but it left me with questions. Spoilers below!

I still don’t know what happened when Rychel left. It seems odd that she gave up her life to save one child. We’re also not told what happened with Guinevere- was her illness because of Morgan/proximity to the grail etc? We do not get this answer. All of the name changes kept me dizzy! I dislike when this happens in books because it is confusing. I understand that it makes for a surprise in the end, but I still dislike this.
The ending overall was satisfying, but some of these gaps left me wondering.

Thank you, NetGalley and Starwater Press, for this advanced reading copy.

I hate when good things have to come to an end and the end of this series was truly sad. There was a dark cloud/undertone immediately sensed from the beginning of the book that I could not shake as I was reading through. There was a feeling of unease as the crew embarked on their quest to stop the destruction of Morgan's father's reign. As you get deeper into the book and become part of their journey, the reader can witness the chaos her father left in his wake. Trust me when I say the journey was not easy or for the light-hearted. This book provided much growth and illustrated loss as Morgan and the crew battle against the Gods—everything you were questioning from the other books in the series is finally revealed. This was an excellent ending to the series.

Really enjoyed the series, was hooked the entire journey. Was invested in the characters the whole time.

I really enjoyed this book. Thank you so much Netgalley for an arc of this book. I apologize for the late review.

Rating - 5/5 🌟

Absolutely love Morgan and Draven! What a great way to end the series! Draven will forever be a top book boyfriend!

im so sad this has finally come to an end, but it was such a great series! I put off reading the final book because I didn't want it to end but it was so good and such a wild ride too! the journey these characters have gone on! I feel so connected to them that I'm almost at peace now that it's ended and knowing no more pain and heartache will happen.

Thank you so much to the author for the arc! I have enjoyed being a member of the arc team and enjoyed the series!

I love this series. I devoured books 1 & 2 and was so excited to be granted arcs for books 3 & 4. I’m obsessed with our FMC Morgan (based on Morgana of Arthurian Myths) I love that’s the series is continuing to get darker as each book progresses! I cannot wait to read more from this series and Boleyn!

Climactic ending to a fantastic story! My main critique of the final book in this series, as other readers have mentioned, is that it felt like we weren’t given much time to really let the events settle. Battles ended abruptly, characters died and the story chugged along, overall it felt like this book could have even been longer and I would have been fine with it! That said, I still got emotional at many of the deaths in this book. I also was not expecting the twist at the end with the gods and goddesses!

I really just don’t think this series w score me, unfortunately. I don’t think it’s bad, I just wasn’t connected to it. I DNF this one

This is such a good Romantasy series! It really needs to be talked about more on BookTok. This ending was outstanding and I am so sad to be saying goodbye to this series. I do look forward to Briar Boleyn's next book!

The fourth and final installment in this series brought about a conclusion to the war Morgan was facing. I have read many different fantasy series and most have similar story arcs regarding a war, the FMC being the one who has to save the world, and finding her true love mate. This book follows the formula too but it wasn't my favorite of the series.
The things I liked included that some characters have to die. I have read series where there is all this war and great battles but somehow all the characters make it through and that makes it feel unrealistic to me. I appreciated that the author knew people had to die.
The parts I disliked or was confused about included Morgan having this great revelation about who she is but it felt glossed over and I wanted to know more. I also thought the whole book was leading up to her flight with her dad and then it just was over... Very quickly. I felt let down by that match up.
