❄️I felt a range of emotions after I finished reading the book。 I couldn't cease wondering what would come next。 What will be the outcome of the situation entangling the'Who shall not be named'？ Has Eira’s trust been broken again？ It was an amazing story。 The plot started right off the bat where it left us。 Eira slowly but steadily became more confident and understanding towards herself。 The one thing that remains constant in her life is her friends and the power to make one。 I loved the new cha ❄️I felt a range of emotions after I finished reading the book。 I couldn't cease wondering what would come next。 What will be the outcome of the situation entangling the'Who shall not be named'？ Has Eira’s trust been broken again？ It was an amazing story。 The plot started right off the bat where it left us。 Eira slowly but steadily became more confident and understanding towards herself。 The one thing that remains constant in her life is her friends and the power to make one。 I loved the new characters introduced and the bonding between everyone thriving。 Though something was seemingly brewing between Eiras’ mates🤭。The Tournament Games， for which we were all eager。 Great Appreciation to Elise for planning the games with such precise execution。 I absolutely adored the ideas and theme of it。 Each game is planned with perfection👌。But somehow the anticipation of catching Ulvarth was more overwhelming than the enthusiasm for the games。It felt as if the tournaments were played down。 Nevertheless， the plot， the characters， and the entire story came together。 I had a great time reading it。 You cannot have a story by Elise Kova without leaving the readers on the edge of their seats。 I can't wait to get my hands on the next book。 。。。more

Review: This series just gets better and better for me。 But I love all of Elise’s books and all the different interconnected worlds。 Eira has always been one of my favourite characters and how she has to justify all her actions before the trials。 This book has so many twists it will give you whiplash but I am so I。 Love with this series and all the characters and adventures。

I couldn't put this book down！ I absolutely loved this！I will confess I debated rating between 4。5 stars and 5 stars， but in the end Elise Kova did exactly what I wanted her to do。And I'm so amazed at the world that she created！ I can't believe I will have to wait a full year for the next book - hey， I'm not complaining。Alright， so we were left heartbroken with the end of the last book， when Eira killed at the ball and found out that Cullen was engaged。 And boy。。。 did that hurt！ I started this b I couldn't put this book down！ I absolutely loved this！I will confess I debated rating between 4。5 stars and 5 stars， but in the end Elise Kova did exactly what I wanted her to do。And I'm so amazed at the world that she created！ I can't believe I will have to wait a full year for the next book - hey， I'm not complaining。Alright， so we were left heartbroken with the end of the last book， when Eira killed at the ball and found out that Cullen was engaged。 And boy。。。 did that hurt！ I started this book hoping that we wouldn't have to brush either of those feelings aside and for Eira to really start a journey to heal herself， as people in her life， those who are suppose to be her support， always let her down somewhat。And that's exactly what happened。 Eira's gave herself time to figure things out on her own， had amazing open conversations with Cullen and Fritz， and overall just tried her best。I really enjoyed that we got to meet new characters and explore more of her situation with the Shadows as well。 Although I will say I really wanted to slap Vi， she is just。。。 so manipulative。 I hated her confession to be using Eira the whole time， honestly。。。 - not that I'm surprised， she was never my favorite。I also enjoyed the tournament， and how despite not being the central focus of the story， I thought it was quite balanced with the plot， and my competitive side loved that Eira's won in the end （as she should！！）。 It was very interesting to see her development， because we start this series with Eira wanted to participate on this tournament more than everything， and when it was actually happening， she realized there were more important things she needed to deal with。What I enjoy the most of these stories is Eira's journey， and how we were allowed to see her growth even when nothing seems to be her way。 The book really sealed as a 5 star reading for me when she didn't rush to forgive everyone who hurt her （her parents， Fritz， and Cullen）， all the while she still loves them somehow， she， for once， is choosing herself first。 And I'm all for it。 And how she learned how to ask for the help of her friends， without having to deal with everything alone。 I can't help it， I just love Eira to bits！I honestly don't know how I will survive a full year waiting for the following book， but I hope everyone who hurt her will crawl at her feet :） 。。。more

Such an epic tale！ I love Kovas Air Awakens universe and this did not fall short！ We get more royalty， a main character who sets her own rules， fantastic magic system that continues to expand， and a love triangle of sorts。 Ok， I hate love triangles but somehow Kova makes that even less painful than normal。 The games take a back seat to the real problem of the day and secrets upon secrets slowly unfold。

THE TOURNAMENT OF FIVE KINGDOMS HAS BEGUN。 Finally！ I was so excited to dive into this book， the plot and the characters。 It picks up right where the second book left off， jumping right into the action！ I so loved being back in this world again！ After reading so many books in this world it felt a bit like coming home， finally reading within it again。 The plot lines and action from the last two books finally came to a head in this one， resulting in an epic magical novel。 The tournament itself was THE TOURNAMENT OF FIVE KINGDOMS HAS BEGUN。 Finally！ I was so excited to dive into this book， the plot and the characters。 It picks up right where the second book left off， jumping right into the action！ I so loved being back in this world again！ After reading so many books in this world it felt a bit like coming home， finally reading within it again。 The plot lines and action from the last two books finally came to a head in this one， resulting in an epic magical novel。 The tournament itself was a lot of fun to read about！ It was intriguing to see the different obstacles and how the characters would have to overcome them。 And oh- Elise are you trying to kill me with the romance in this novel？！ Please！ I'm just a defenseless reader！ Nonetheless， I still loved reading it。 The ending scenes to this novel though！！！ Talk about shocking - I flew through the last bit because I just had to know what happened next！ And the final page？！ I NEED the fourth book in my hands now please！ All in all， A Tournemnt of Crown is a must read for fellow lovers of the A Trial of Sorceres Series。 。。。more

I definitely think this is my favorite Elise Kova book yet！ I was enthralled since page one and BASICALLY sped through this entire book！！ Everything came together beautifully in this book from the new characters to the complex politics。 I seriously wish I could forget what happened so I could reread again for the first time！！

A Tournament of Crowns is the third book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series by Elise Kova。 This book takes place right after the events of the second book， which means this is a series you need to read in order。 I love this series so much。 In fact， I think a Trial of Sorcerers is my favorite series I have read of Elise's。 This world feels so magical and I love how different each of the regions and its' inhabitants are。Here we find ourselves deeply embroiled in the Tournament of the Five Kingdoms A Tournament of Crowns is the third book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series by Elise Kova。 This book takes place right after the events of the second book， which means this is a series you need to read in order。 I love this series so much。 In fact， I think a Trial of Sorcerers is my favorite series I have read of Elise's。 This world feels so magical and I love how different each of the regions and its' inhabitants are。Here we find ourselves deeply embroiled in the Tournament of the Five Kingdoms。 I loved this because it helped us to expand the world even further。 We got to learn about each of the different kingdoms and their own unique cultures and magic systems。 I found myself really feeling for Eira in this installment。 The poor girl has so much on her plate， and I was feeling overwhelmed for her。 I think this might have been my favorite book so farin the series because we not only get to dive back into the competition element of the story but we also have several additional layers of conflict and complex characters woven throughout。 I really loved it。 This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time， especially that crazy ending。 I need the next book in my hands right now。 If you are a fan of magical competitions featuring complex characters， great friendships， a slow burn romance and plenty of betrayals， then look no further than this series。 It is excellent。 。。。more

A Tournament of Crowns is book 3 from a A Trial of Sorcerers series and it picks right up from the final events in A Hunt of Shadows （book 2）: Eira and her fellow competitors are getting ready to head to the Tournament grounds， with the looming threat of Ulvarth and the Pillars weighing in。 The plot is well balanced between the Tournament games/events， the characters’ relationships development and the world building （we get to know more about the different kingdoms， their past history and positi A Tournament of Crowns is book 3 from a A Trial of Sorcerers series and it picks right up from the final events in A Hunt of Shadows （book 2）: Eira and her fellow competitors are getting ready to head to the Tournament grounds， with the looming threat of Ulvarth and the Pillars weighing in。 The plot is well balanced between the Tournament games/events， the characters’ relationships development and the world building （we get to know more about the different kingdoms， their past history and position towards Meru and also their magical systems）。 The pace felt just right and kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next。 I really liked watching Eira’s growth， because not only she became more mature， she is definitely more relatable， captivating and more skilled。 There’s the introduction of a new potential love interest which I’m actually rooting for: Olivin， an Elfin competitor that had danced with Eira at the ball in the end of book 2。Alyss is my favorite supporting character， with all her insights， the strong friendship bond with Eira and Noelle， her love for Romance books and her amazing magical skills。 Another thing I really liked about this book is the presence of Fritz at the Tournament with his uplifting spirit and joy that I’ve got used to in Air Awakens series。 I really liked the blossoming redemption from his attitudes towards Eira on book 1 （A Trial of Sorcerers）。 I’m now looking forward to reading book 4， especially after those final chapters。 。。。more

4。5/5Wow this was an amazing book！ A Tournament of Crowns picked up right where A Hunt of Shadows left off and I swear there was never a dull moment。 I absolutely loved how this book focused more on the magic and tournament while also having the main conflict with Ulvarth and the pillars。 I loved the trials and challenges。 Seeing Eira， Alyss， Noelle， and Cullen have to fight and interact with the different competitors was exciting。 I also really enjoyed learning more about the other competitors 4。5/5Wow this was an amazing book！ A Tournament of Crowns picked up right where A Hunt of Shadows left off and I swear there was never a dull moment。 I absolutely loved how this book focused more on the magic and tournament while also having the main conflict with Ulvarth and the pillars。 I loved the trials and challenges。 Seeing Eira， Alyss， Noelle， and Cullen have to fight and interact with the different competitors was exciting。 I also really enjoyed learning more about the other competitors and types of magic from the other regions of Meru。 Eira’s character is complex and I appreciated her growth in this book。 She relied a lot more on her friends and went running into things head first less。 I always appreciate how Elise writes her characters who aren’t perfect。 Eira seems to have really come into her own。 While I’m not the hugest fan of tumultuous relationships and love triangles I didn’t mind how the romance in this book was handled。 The story thankfully isn’t solely focused on Eira and Cullen and I think it represented young love， heartbreak and uncertainty accurately。 I really enjoyed Olivin’s character and personally think I’m now an Olivin fan！ The pacing of this book I thought was done really well。 I did think the story jumped around a bit but with the style of the tournament it allowed for multiple things to be happening at once while still making sense。 The last 15% of the book flew by and I had to reread the ending again to make sure I understood what actually happened。 It was chaotic but in an exciting way。 I really didn’t see the final twist coming from one of my favorite side characters。 Overall this was an excellent book and I highly recommend this series。 Since these books happen in sequence you have to have read the first 2 to understand what is happening in this one。 I think this is my favorite out of the 3 and I’m eagerly waiting for the 4th！ Thank you Elise and Silver Wing Press for gifting me an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review！ So happy with it。 The ending was insane！ Eira has grown so much as a character in this book and the story has grown so much as well。 I really enjoyed the tournament parts even more than in the other books and loved all the action and heartwarming scenes。 Elise Kova has outdone herself again！ All of the little things in the book add up at the end so well and it takes a really talented author to do that。 Thankyou to Elisa Kova for my arc！

This is the third book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series which is planned to be a 5 book series。 This book picks up the day after the ending of A Hunt of Shadows。 Eira has played right into the plans of the Pillars。 Her recklessness has allowed her to be used by the enemy。 And now she has lost the trust of the Shadows and Royals。 They do not believe her claims that the leader of the Pillars has returned。 But the tournament and treaty must continue。 The competitors are transferred to the arena a This is the third book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series which is planned to be a 5 book series。 This book picks up the day after the ending of A Hunt of Shadows。 Eira has played right into the plans of the Pillars。 Her recklessness has allowed her to be used by the enemy。 And now she has lost the trust of the Shadows and Royals。 They do not believe her claims that the leader of the Pillars has returned。 But the tournament and treaty must continue。 The competitors are transferred to the arena and sequestered away from the public。 Eira’s hands are tied， but she will find a way to stop the Pillars from sabotaging the treaty。 The pace of this book is similar to book 1。 Since Eira has been cast out of the Shadows， the focus of this book is on the competitions and the relationships with the other competitors and nations。 As well as mending her broken heart。 The champion village and five competitions has the feel of a magical Olympics。 The creativity of Elise Kova to come up with the different competitions and magic systems for the different nations is absolutely amazing; not only does she have to come up with one magic system for this series， but each Nation has their own completely different form of magic。 The pacing of this book did drag a little。 After the fast pace of book 2 with the spying， capture， and battles， this one was a little more mundane day-to-day activities。 The challenges with the competitions helps break up the slower pacing of the plot。 However， the twist and turns at the end of story totally makes up for the slower pacing in the middle of the book。 I literally stayed up until 1am to finish the book because I couldn’t put it down。 As with the other books in the series， this was a quick read。 I finished the book in only a few sittings; especially since I stayed up to finish it）。 The events at the end 🤯😱。 I have no clue how I’m going to wait another year before book 4 is released。 。。。more

Thank you to the author and BOMM for sending me the ARC to the sequel I’ve been waiting for！ And， it was worth the wait！The story picks up right after the ending of Book 2 of this exciting Epic Fantasy series with thrilling magic， deadly mysteries and an intense tournament。 Many people have been turned against Eira by the Pillars since she killed a man。 She can’t spend time on the mystery and the hunt since the Tournament of Five Kingdoms was about to begin。With the secrets revealed to her rece Thank you to the author and BOMM for sending me the ARC to the sequel I’ve been waiting for！ And， it was worth the wait！The story picks up right after the ending of Book 2 of this exciting Epic Fantasy series with thrilling magic， deadly mysteries and an intense tournament。 Many people have been turned against Eira by the Pillars since she killed a man。 She can’t spend time on the mystery and the hunt since the Tournament of Five Kingdoms was about to begin。With the secrets revealed to her recently， Eira has to learn to sort out her emotions and win the tournament。 Her life is in danger and the temporary peace in the kingdom is under attack。 She has to navigate it all and fight to protect the people she loves。This was an exciting read from the beginning。 I could not put the book down。 There were new characters introduced who added so much to the plot。 Eira was a fierce MC who you can’t help rooting for。 The found family aspect was an integral part of Eira’s life and it was heartwarming to see Eira’s friends protect and stand with her。 “Think of what could be…not what was。 You have all you need for victory。“The magic system in this series has always been my favourite and new elements were added to the system in this book that added charm。 I enjoyed watching the characters learn and adapt to the challenges。 This was a fast-paced adventure filled with exciting experiences that kept me on my toes with twists and turns every step of the way。 I already can’t wait for Book 4！！！ 。。。more

-Thank you to the author for an eARC of this book。 Receiving an ARC in no way influenced my review-I cannot handle this series。 It seriously just gets better and better。 Eira has grown SO much as our lead character， and I love that we get to see so much of the other competitors this time around。 Elise is a master at having her characters growth match the sequence of events in her books。 Eira still makes mistakes， but she's learning and making new and better decisions the whole time。This book fin -Thank you to the author for an eARC of this book。 Receiving an ARC in no way influenced my review-I cannot handle this series。 It seriously just gets better and better。 Eira has grown SO much as our lead character， and I love that we get to see so much of the other competitors this time around。 Elise is a master at having her characters growth match the sequence of events in her books。 Eira still makes mistakes， but she's learning and making new and better decisions the whole time。This book finally focused on the competition and， to be honest， that was a little lackluster。 I enjoyed the competition originally held in Solaris much more。 However， I think this book was more about what was happening around the competition， and I could easily sympathize with Eira's frustrations about more important things every time we had to go back to the collesium。The ending。 OH MY GOD the ending。 I legit didn't see it coming。 I have read so many books and seen so many twist and turns， but I just didn't expect this one。 I was practically vibrating with anticipation while reading the last 2 hours of the book， just waiting for the other shoe to drop。 I think this series is the strongest series yet out of all of Elise's stories and I could not reccomend it more。 I absolutely cannot wait for books。 。。。more

This was a solid continuation of this series。 We get so much more of these characters and their relationships。 In this one， we got back to the competition which is something I missed in the second one。 Some of them were short because Eira wasn't in them， but they were overall really fun to read。 We got a peek at the different magics from the different places。 At first， one of my downfalls of this book was how the plot skipped around。 Come to find out， my digital copy was missing chapters。 So I w This was a solid continuation of this series。 We get so much more of these characters and their relationships。 In this one， we got back to the competition which is something I missed in the second one。 Some of them were short because Eira wasn't in them， but they were overall really fun to read。 We got a peek at the different magics from the different places。 At first， one of my downfalls of this book was how the plot skipped around。 Come to find out， my digital copy was missing chapters。 So I went back and reread the chapters I missed once I downloaded it onto my kindle with all the chapters。 It was a little confusing going back and reading a few previous chapters here and there， but that was no fault of the actual book， just my weird first copy I downloaded。I liked getting to know Eira more and watch her grow as a character。 I'm not a huge fan of love triangles， but I think this one was handled pretty well and I didn't absolutely hate it。 I liked getting to know Olivin and some of the other competitors and really loved getting more of Alyss， Noelle and Cullen。 A lot happened in this book besides the competition。 Ulvarth shows his face， Olivin's brother goes missing， Fritz shows up to help with healing in the competition and stuff I don't want to spoil。 We have intense questions that we don't know the answers to and are left hanging for the next book。 I already can't wait to read it and find out what happens！Thank you to Elise Kova and Book of Matches Media for a copy of this book！ 。。。more
