Thank you NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the opportunity to read this one!

So sorry to have it ended! I love this book from start to finish. This is one of the best series ever!

Coming down from my reading high@

Highly, highly recommend!

Five stars plus.

This was such a strong finale to The Broken Blades trilogy. I’ve been hooked since book one, but this one really hit me hard emotionally. The characters feel so real—messy, flawed, and full of heart—and I loved how their bonds kept growing even in the middle of all the chaos.

The mix of action, political intrigue, and raw emotion was spot on. There were moments that broke my heart and others that made me smile, and I honestly didn’t want to put it down. Mai Corland wrapped things up in a way that felt both satisfying and bittersweet, which is exactly what I wanted from this ending.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this early in exchange for an honest review.

To be honest, I was both looking forward to and dreading reading this book. I am still traumatized by Four Ruined Realms. I wanted the closure and answers after everything these characters had been through, but I also knew Mai Corland was going to wreck me in the process. The finale of the Broken Blades trilogy is nothing short of devastating, and I needed time to process everything. Three Shattered Souls delivers high stakes fantasy, betrayal, found family, and emotional blows that linger long after the last page.

Mai Corland’s emotional impact is staggering. Every betrayal, every moment of loss, and every fragile flicker of hope felt real. The book is a relentless mix of action, heartbreak, and the unshakable bonds of found family. By the time I reached the ending, I felt both broken and quietly hopeful.

Tropes
🫂 Found family
🔄 Multiple POVs
🗡️ Relic quest
💔 Grief and sacrifice

This is a finale that demands recovery time. It is the kind of fantasy that stays with you, reminding you how beautiful and terrible it can be to fight for something worth losing everything for.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing for the early copy. Mai Corland, I’ll be forwarding you my therapy bills along with an itemized list of emotional damages. All opinions are my own.

The beginning of Three Shatter Souls jumps right into the plot right after book 2. L I love that each characters voice is still maintained and I’ve grown to love their mannerisms, thoughts, and flaws. Like Royo with his deadpan humor of their bleak circumstances when Sora is trying to be optimistic. The quick but vivid action sequences constantly pull me in and they are like crescendos in the story. Getting different characters POVs and the interactions between each other, while knowing some of the characters inner monologuing, is something I found endearing and captivating for the plot and characters.

I’m looking forward to finishing the rest of the book and this series!

Thank you, Entangled Publishing, LLC | Entangled: Red Tower Books, Mai Corland, and Net Galley for sending me over this ARC to preview this book

Its wonderfull to have a preview it made me go and pick up the full book as soon as i could and i will write a review when i have finished it

SEND HELP. Why did it have to end?!?! I will never get over Royo’s love.

Honestly just an amazing and well written story. I will forever be a Mai Corland fan and I can’t wait for her next series 😭❤️‍🔥

This was raw, intense, and beautifully written. The emotional weight of the story was heavy at times, but it made the ending feel all the more rewarding. The pacing was solid, and I found myself really invested in the characters’ healing arcs. Definitely one that sticks with you.

I have had this series on my TBR for some time, so I was very excited when I saw there was a preview of the new book available here! These first three chapters were action packed and showed me that there are so many layers to this story. I was drawn in very quickly, and it was the nudge I needed to bump this series up on my list!

A fitting title for this finale book, as I definitely feel shattered.😭 I thought this book was a beautiful way to end the series even though I’m left feeling like a part of me is missing. I went through a whirl wind of emotions towards all of the characters and enjoyed their different dynamics as I did in the first 2 books.

I had such a great time reading this book! It pulled me in right from the start and kept me turning the pages. The writing flowed so well, and I found myself completely invested in the story and characters. It’s one of those reads you just don’t want to put down.
huge thanks to the publisher for sending me an early copy!! I’m so glad I got to read it ahead of the release day and can't wait for the world to get to enjoy it too!!

I received a sample read. Once I finish the actual physical copy I bought, I’ll provide the full review on Goodreads. However, from the pages I read from the sample, it’s a start of an amazing conclusion.

The first chapters of this book have me wanting to read the rest so quickly! I absolutely adore al the characters in this world and can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Emotional, intense, and full of heart.
Three Shattered Souls follows three broken but beautifully complex characters, each carrying their own trauma and trying to find a way forward. Their journeys are raw, real, and deeply moving. Mai Corland does a great job showing their growth and how their lives slowly intertwine. You feel every struggle, every moment of hope, and every small victory. A powerful and unforgettable read.

This series was so so good and I loved this conclusion. I do wish I would’ve reread the first two books beforehand bc there is just so many details, characters, secrets, and plans going on it was hard to recall. Even not doing this though, it was well written and done so well.

I loved all these characters, I loved their development throughout the series, and I really loved their found family. They don’t trust each other at all, but yet they fight and would die for each other. Without question.

I have a love/hate relationship with this author and her being able to kill off everyone because seriously she surprised me in every. Single. Book. I just wanted everyone to have a happy ending… but unfortunately that couldn’t be the case. And it made sense. But still :(

Also- I know it’s the end of the trilogy but like can we get more? Definitely left it opened for more so… please.

thank you so much netgalley for the sneak peak at the first chapters of this book
this is one on my most anticipated read of the year, i cant believe we´ve goten to the final book in this series. ive had such a fun timing reading all of these books, and from what ive read so far, this isnt any different... im so excited to continue, because every chapter hangs on a bit of a cliffhanger so you just want to keep going

Oh, Royo, my sweet angel baby man son.

I LOVE these characters. LOVE THEM.

This was such a satisfying conclusion to this trilogy. I acheddddd

An exciting preview for the next entry in the series, with a good bit of humour and drama that Ive come to expect from this series, exited to see more !

I wasn’t sure if I would continue but this preview definitely reminds me that I’m still invested in some of these characters and want to see how their story plays out

This third installment tease was easy to dive into and I feel ready to read the full book! I very much appreciate the summary of the first two books as not many authors do that. It cuts down on the need for exposition.

I’m sorry for the delay in this. After the last book I was sure I wasn’t going to complete the series. I was angry. But I love these characters so much and have watched this story develop over the last two years and I think this was the best possible conclusion. With so many different story lines and voices I admire Mai Corland for building such an epic story. It’s very cool and I was not expecting the ending at all.
