I’m fully invested in this storyI really did like their arc but the overall story really does have me fully invested。 I wish a bit more light had been shed on some secrets but I still really liked this couple。 Im looking forward to future books

Fantastic！The Captive Throne was fantastic！ （The 1st and last chapters were killers on my nerver， though。 Lol） I waited to read book 3 until book 4 was out， so there wouldn't be any cliffhangers between Evaraine and Danric's story， and I'm so glad I did。 The chemistry between them was amazing， and I enjoyed both their arcs as they grew into each other's better halves。 Loved it！ Bring on Vaniell's story！！ Fantastic！The Captive Throne was fantastic！ （The 1st and last chapters were killers on my nerver， though。 Lol） I waited to read book 3 until book 4 was out， so there wouldn't be any cliffhangers between Evaraine and Danric's story， and I'm so glad I did。 The chemistry between them was amazing， and I enjoyed both their arcs as they grew into each other's better halves。 Loved it！ Bring on Vaniell's story！！ 。。。more

I was really excited to find out what happens to all our favourite characters from the past 3 books！ And it was fun to meet new fantasy folk that we haven’t met before。 For the first part of the book I found the switching back and forth between different scenes to be rather confusing， also a bit frustrating -wry face- I know a lot of authors use this though。 Good thing it stopped midway through once the characters met up。 Wow bringing in the characters from Stolen thorn and promise was cool！ Def I was really excited to find out what happens to all our favourite characters from the past 3 books！ And it was fun to meet new fantasy folk that we haven’t met before。 For the first part of the book I found the switching back and forth between different scenes to be rather confusing， also a bit frustrating -wry face- I know a lot of authors use this though。 Good thing it stopped midway through once the characters met up。 Wow bringing in the characters from Stolen thorn and promise was cool！ Definitely did not expect them but it’s always nice to find out that the characters tie into a bigger world。 Watching the characters all develop and form relationships was quite fun。 I have a soft spot for Leisa and Kyrion so was happy to see them reappear。Totally forgot where Yvane was from。 Book 2 unseen heir。。 had to go back and reread that。But it seems like with every couple they have the same issue of struggling to say I love you to the other and kind of in the same way。。 I skimmed those parts after a while cos honestly I was not interested in the angst and uncertainty but more of the overall story and action。I have to admit I didn’t read the description of the Abreia books properly （about how it is about 3 couples。。 and we have only really been introduced to 2 so far） so I was a bit disappointed to find that this isn’t the end of the series but I guess Leisa’s family hasn’t been found yet。 Looks like there will be two more about Prince Vaniell （can’t wait！） and am definitely looking forward to those too！ 。。。more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book！The adventure was fun。 The characters were great and the world building was fabulous！ I love Princess Evaraine and Prince Danric's story！ This is book four in the series。 It's best to read the prior three books before reading this one。 They won't disappoint！I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion I thoroughly enjoyed this book！The adventure was fun。 The characters were great and the world building was fabulous！ I love Princess Evaraine and Prince Danric's story！ This is book four in the series。 It's best to read the prior three books before reading this one。 They won't disappoint！I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion 。。。more

The HEA for Evaraine， but the story continuesFirst， I thought this book would be the end of the series and the defeat of Melger， but though that story line definitely progressed， that ending still feels a long way off。 Vaniell returns in the next book， and I'm looking forward to that。Instead， this is the story of Evaraine and Danric coming together， and their joint attempts to loosen Garimore's hold on Farhall。 Cons: it drags a bit right in the middle as two secretive， isolated， and lonely peopl The HEA for Evaraine， but the story continuesFirst， I thought this book would be the end of the series and the defeat of Melger， but though that story line definitely progressed， that ending still feels a long way off。 Vaniell returns in the next book， and I'm looking forward to that。Instead， this is the story of Evaraine and Danric coming together， and their joint attempts to loosen Garimore's hold on Farhall。 Cons: it drags a bit right in the middle as two secretive， isolated， and lonely people learn to be in a relationship。 You might enjoy that part more :）Pros: the rest of the story continues to be fast paced and filled with horrible things for our heroes to fight。 The amazing world building in the first two books continues。 We see Kyrion and Leisa quite a bit， and even Wyn makes an appearance。Some characters from Stolen Thorn Bride make an appearance。 It's not a long book， and takes place in the same world。 I highly recommend reading it after book 3 and before this one。Conclusion: While I didn't enjoy every second of this one as I did with the three before， I still enjoyed it， especially the first and last third of the book。 This series continues to have exceptionally well drawn characters， hurt/comfort themes， found family， swords and castles， and loyalty and honor themes。 。。。more

I have loved the world of Abreia since the first page of book 1。 Davidson does a beautiful job of weaving the world， the characters and the explanation of magic， adventure and romance together。 Every time I finish a book in her series I'm deeply satisfied and then deeply depressed I have to wait for the next book to come out。The first 2 books in the series follow Leisa and Kyrion as the main characters， and while I enjoyed them I was not-so-secretly waiting for Danric and Evaraine's storyline。。。 I have loved the world of Abreia since the first page of book 1。 Davidson does a beautiful job of weaving the world， the characters and the explanation of magic， adventure and romance together。 Every time I finish a book in her series I'm deeply satisfied and then deeply depressed I have to wait for the next book to come out。The first 2 books in the series follow Leisa and Kyrion as the main characters， and while I enjoyed them I was not-so-secretly waiting for Danric and Evaraine's storyline。。。。which blew me away。 Danric and Evaraine are opposite in many ways to the snarky and banter-y couple of Leisa and Kyrion。 They are both heir's to kingdoms and have a much heavier weight of expectation on them。 Without trying to give spoilers， Danric and Evaraine go from enemies to a married couple who compliment each other so well。 Where there is slightly less action in this book， Davidson makes up for it with explanation of the overarching plot， personal growth of both MCs and of course the relationship build <3！ I thought it was so beautifully written that were times I wanted to cry for and with Evaraine and I couldn't turn the page fast enough。 This book was about two souls who have spent their lives surrounded by people and still felt alone。 Two heirs who had to put duty above personal wishes， and one couple who had to learn to trust when their whole worlds broke apart。 Evaraine will not be your sword wielding snarky heroine that we got with Leisa， but she will NOT disappoint you。 I can't wait for book 5！！！！！！ Beautiful job Davidson。5 Stars！Small Spoiler~~~~~~~~~If you loved Of Promises and Thorns （previously titled Stolen Thorn Bride） by Kenley Davidson you might see a certain couple make an appearance in The Captive Throne。 。。。more

This second book in Evaraine and Danric's duology is as satisfying as it exciting。 It has twists and action to keep the adventure rolling， but the romance is integral and fitting to these characters。 Waiting for this second book after The Hidden Queen is worth it for the continuation and conclusion of their primary story--how their relationship developed and the current political and military situation in Everaine's country of Farhall affecting it's throne， as the book's title suggests。 （I'm try This second book in Evaraine and Danric's duology is as satisfying as it exciting。 It has twists and action to keep the adventure rolling， but the romance is integral and fitting to these characters。 Waiting for this second book after The Hidden Queen is worth it for the continuation and conclusion of their primary story--how their relationship developed and the current political and military situation in Everaine's country of Farhall affecting it's throne， as the book's title suggests。 （I'm trying to avoid spoilers from the previous book here， though reading The Hidden Queen is almost required before this one。$The Captive Throne is also a fabulous continuation of the overarching Legends of Abreia story， which is far from over。 There are continuing threads that already make me excited for the next duology。 They also make me thankful they're duologies rather than trilogies so the immediate stories are concluded faster。 This style of multiple duologies in not only the same world but continuing the same story is exciting， also。 The world is fascinating and each book expands it。 It's developed well and I look forward to learning more of it。 It's also exciting to see characters we know from previous books。 Though they're included in such a way that reading the previous books aren't required， it's definitely recommended。 Not only would I suggest reading those of Leisa and Kyrion's story， but I suggest reading Of Promises and Thorns （formerly Stolen Thorn Bride and now available for newsletter subscribers）。 This book includes elements and characters first introduced in that novella。 Overall， The Captive Throne is an excellent and highly recommended fantasy romance that is satisfying while building excitement for the next book。 。。。more

This fourth book in the series concludes the story arc of Danric and Evarine。 Both characters become really grow and become stronger while on an unpredictable journey to the capital of Farhall to free Evarine's father and her kingdom from the 'bad guys' control while facing an unexpected new threat at the same time。 They get plenty of help and hinderance from a range of characters， some we've met in previous books， some new。When I read Stolen Thorne Bride （or Of Promises and Thorns as it is now This fourth book in the series concludes the story arc of Danric and Evarine。 Both characters become really grow and become stronger while on an unpredictable journey to the capital of Farhall to free Evarine's father and her kingdom from the 'bad guys' control while facing an unexpected new threat at the same time。 They get plenty of help and hinderance from a range of characters， some we've met in previous books， some new。When I read Stolen Thorne Bride （or Of Promises and Thorns as it is now known） I never figured out exactly how the novella fit into the timeline of the main series。 The Capitve Throne really ties this book into the main series。 In many ways the Captive Throne has spoilers for Of Promises and Thorns and although the spoilers do flow a little the other way too， I'd suggest it's better to read Of Promises and Thorns before the Capitve Throne。 。。。more
