In the first three chapters of Three Shattered Souls, we pick up immediately following the devastating events in Four Ruined Realms.

Long buried truths, shocking betrayals, and heart shattering loss haunt our tortured heroes. If the preview is any indication, this final installment will be an emotional and heart pounding ride! Am I counting down until July 15th? Yes, yes I am.

So grateful to the author, Entangled Publishing, Red Tower Books, and Netgalley for the ARC preview opportunity! This is my honest and voluntary review.

With only three chapters, Mai Corland immediately picks up where she left off in the third instalment of The Broken Blades series.
Our remaining protagonists barely survived previous battles and are now left raw and vulnerable. After some tragic events, the truth has come to light, hearts have been broken, and trust has been shattered. However, they must come to their senses to prepare for their most epic battle. But after everything that happened, will their teamwork survive to fight for the sake of all the Kingdoms set in Corland's enriching fantasy world?
While only being a preview, readers are back to where Four Ruined Realms ended, with the emotional devastation of our beloved protagonist.

This makes me vrry excited to actually read the book. I didnt realize it was a preview at first and wish it was a full copy

I saw the preview of "Three Shattered Souls" and immediately dived in... and inhaled the first three chapters. Corland wastes zero time and gives us a "What has happened so far.." which get's you back on course - if you haven't read the previous book in recent days. We jump immediately back into the story, which is extremely easy with Corland's descriptive writing and the immersive prose.

In short, I am sold and waiting for the rest! In the first couple of pages alone, we are hit with loss of identity, loss of a loved one and the impending loss of... well, I wont tell you that, but if you read the last book, you kind of know already.

You feel the dread, the anxiety and need to do something ( at least I did while i flew through these pages). Add this to your preorder list and do yourself a favor!

Thank you to Mai Corland and Netgalley! Now I need the complete ARC, this wasn't enough!

Didn’t realise it was a preview! 🫣

Great start to the final book! Really excited for this one! I really liked the first two books.

This was a great preview! I'm super excited to see where the book goes and how the trilogy concludes! I've really enjoyed the first two books, and I'm interested to see how the series finishes up :)

Thank you!

In my excitement to read the book I missed the “preview” part of the listing.

As far as the first few chapters go, this is a promising start to the finale of the trilogy! I can’t wait to continue reading the rest as soon as possible

Didn’t realize this was a preview when I requested it, but that’s my fault. Nevertheless it made me more excited for the final installment! I so appreciate that a recap was included as well as a glossary. It helped jog my memory of important plot points and terms.

Given that this is a 3 chapter preview of the book, I wanted to point out some features that I was excited to see included at the beginning of the book. I LOVE to see when ontent warnings are included in a trad published book. This is so helpful to so many people. We also love a good map to get our bearings. We get a character list with pronunciations, so we don't keep reading them incorrectly for the whole book. It was also great to get a brief recap of where the trilogy stands going into this book. When the chapters start, we get a slight recap and then are into the action pretty quickly. It is written in first person multi POV, but the chapters are clearly labeled, so we know whose head we are in. I'm interested to see where the rest of the story goes!

Thanks to Entangled/Red Tower and NetGalley for a preview of this book.

Confused why they only put the first three chapters up…? At that point just give us nothing tbh. Can’t wait for the full book, but disappointed in this eARC experience.

This series has me hooked and I don't want to escape. I was so excited to see this available and had to get it IMMEDIATELY to read. Now I'm even more excited for this release and can't wait to dive back into this world created by the fantastic Mai Corland.

it's emotional, intense, and honestly heartbreaking in the best way. author mai corland really knows how to dig into trauma, healing, and the complicated mess of human connection and execute it well :D

the characters are layered and flawed, and you can really feel their pain and growth. the writing is raw but beautiful, and it pulls you in quick. there are moments of softness that balance the darker themes, and those small pieces of hope really stood out to me.

but tbh, i wish i had started this series from the beginning. jumping into book 3 made me feel like i missed a lot of emotional backstory. i still enjoyed it, but i know it would’ve hit harder if i read the first two books first.

definitely planning to go back and start from book one. if you're into stories about broken people finding light again, this one’s worth it.

So when I clicked on this Read Now book, I thought it was the whole book and was SO EXCITED! After learning it was just the first 3 chapters, I was still very excited but a little less so 😂

I love this world and am so excited to read the conclusion to this trilogy. These first few chapters are great and I loved the “previously in the world of FIVE BROKEN BLADES” section at the beginning. More sequels should have a little recap like that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my God!! This is so interesting,! Just 3 chapters and it's making me want to read the whole book!!

I loved that they gave a little recap on what happened in the past 2 books.

I loved five broken blades so, so much, but then I hated four ruined realms. I just can't agree with the direction she took, I mean she killed off one of my favorite characters...
However, the preview of the last book was available on Netgalley, it seemed only right that I read it and decide if I want to continue based on that.
The verdict is that I will continue. I discovered I'm still pretty invested, if nothing else on Mikail, and since it's the last one and I've come so far I will finish the series.

I’m really excited for this book! I really love the multiple point of views and I feel like it gives a lot of background and nuance to the plot! After only reading 3 chapters, I cannot wait to see how this ends!

Thank you @NetGalley and @Entangled_Publishing for this ebook preview!

Book three of the Broken Blades trilogy, this Shattered Souls preview/teaser was easily digestible in a quick sitting.
Offers a recap, and the first 3 chapters of the book to be released mid July.

I love these previews!
