This is another fab read from this author。 It’s one hell of a ride， fast paced and full of adventure and I was grabbed from the very start。 The characters are fantastic and the storyline addictive and the world building is incredible。 Cannot wait to read more。

The story continues a few days after Eldora pierced her heart with the crystal and turned Fae。 The first half of the book is pretty slow and I considered dropping it but thankfully it gets better once Ellora meets Queen Alessandra's brother。 Honestly I hope we get a novella about him and his beloved （I think that's what they are） Even Brannick who was standoffish for most part of the book becomes much more loving and open。 I'd prefer it if there was a bit more passion though。 I mean this is the The story continues a few days after Eldora pierced her heart with the crystal and turned Fae。 The first half of the book is pretty slow and I considered dropping it but thankfully it gets better once Ellora meets Queen Alessandra's brother。 Honestly I hope we get a novella about him and his beloved （I think that's what they are） Even Brannick who was standoffish for most part of the book becomes much more loving and open。 I'd prefer it if there was a bit more passion though。 I mean this is the third book y'all！！ We see how Ellora learns to live with her new found fear （I hope that Ansel suffers to the bitter end *pun intended😜） and slowly overcome it。 She is getting stronger with each book albeit still magicless ❤ Her sisters play an important role in this book and I do see something brewing between Chloe and Quintus😉 The ending had me screaming which tbh shouldn't come as a surprise since the last 2 books ended in a cliffhanger as well🤣 I really hope the last book fixes everything without any major sacrifices and hopefully there's a bit more romance！！ 3。5 *my heart is tied to yours* stars 💕 。。。more

This is the third book in the Fae of Bitter Thorn series。 I love that in this book the author continues to develop the established characters more while introducing us to new ones。 The relationships and motives are strengthened and revealed more。 The world building continues to be detailed and imaginative。 However， we are again left with another cliffhanger while impatiently waiting for the final book。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。

Honestly， Kay just blows me away with each of these books。 These characters are great- and now that they are firmly established， as well as the world， the plot has taken off at a sprint！ You'd think after how the last book ended （and therefore how this one started） that Elora would have a much easier time in Faerie。 That is SO not the case， and I'm very impressed with the author for coming up with so much to throw at Elora still。 Even with the changes that took place at the beginning of the book Honestly， Kay just blows me away with each of these books。 These characters are great- and now that they are firmly established， as well as the world， the plot has taken off at a sprint！ You'd think after how the last book ended （and therefore how this one started） that Elora would have a much easier time in Faerie。 That is SO not the case， and I'm very impressed with the author for coming up with so much to throw at Elora still。 Even with the changes that took place at the beginning of the book， things are somehow SO MUCH worse/harder for her now。 In large part because of Ansel and Queen Alessandra， of course。。。 （What amazing villains！）The climax was amazing！ I'm very concerned for how they're going to pull things together for the last book， but of course， that just means that Kay is doing an absolutely PERFECT job with this story！ You certainly can't say there's nothing at stake here。 Anxiously awaiting the next installment。 I already know that it， too， will blow me away！ <3 。。。more

My favorite part of this series is how much I continue to be surprised by the twists。 I feel like I know what is going to happen， and then the next page sends you spiraling in a completely different direction that you didn't even know exist。 My favorite part of this series is how much I continue to be surprised by the twists。 I feel like I know what is going to happen， and then the next page sends you spiraling in a completely different direction that you didn't even know exist。 。。。more

Crown of Bitter Thorn is the best installment in the series so far。Elora's sisters have a much larger role in the book than the previous two。 They enhance the group dynamic with their vibrant personalities。 I especially love Chloe， she's so bossy and I love it。This book so more emotional development for the characters all around。 Most surprising is the hints at the emotional motivations of Queen Alessandra， although she's still horrible。 The ever increasing stakes， excellent action sequences， an Crown of Bitter Thorn is the best installment in the series so far。Elora's sisters have a much larger role in the book than the previous two。 They enhance the group dynamic with their vibrant personalities。 I especially love Chloe， she's so bossy and I love it。This book so more emotional development for the characters all around。 Most surprising is the hints at the emotional motivations of Queen Alessandra， although she's still horrible。 The ever increasing stakes， excellent action sequences， and the now fully blossoming romance have me unable to wait for the release of the final book in September。 I received an advanced copy of this book for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。 。。。more

Crown of Bitter Thorn is a great addition to The Fae of Bitter Thorn series， and it picks up shortly after the last book ended。 Moody’s fae world continues to expand， and we are taken to new kingdoms and are introduced to new and often frightening supernatural beings and creatures。 Equally fascinating is the political intrigue as Prince Brannick and Elora try to gain allies against the queen。 There are so many ulterior and hidden motives that Elora and the prince never know who they can fully tr Crown of Bitter Thorn is a great addition to The Fae of Bitter Thorn series， and it picks up shortly after the last book ended。 Moody’s fae world continues to expand， and we are taken to new kingdoms and are introduced to new and often frightening supernatural beings and creatures。 Equally fascinating is the political intrigue as Prince Brannick and Elora try to gain allies against the queen。 There are so many ulterior and hidden motives that Elora and the prince never know who they can fully trust or who is actually on their side。Elora goes through a lot in the story and repeatedly puts herself in danger to protect Brannick， his kingdom， and his people。 Determined to save Faerie and all who have been hurt by the evil High Queen Alessandra， Elora’s love for Brannick and the fae world fuels her。 She is a determined and brave woman， persistent in her goals even when faced with the impossible。 She’s also really kind and compassionate。 She has such a tender heart， and she truly cares for those she meets。 Elora always wants to do better and make things better， and she is stubborn， resilient， and extremely courageous。I love that we see more of Elora’s sisters in this book。 Like the other characters in the story， Elora’s younger sisters are well-developed and interesting。 They only humans in Faerie， they have more to offer the fae than expected。 The detestable queen becomes an even more dynamically developed character as well， and the story delves more into her reasons for wanting Brannick and power。 I found this aspect of the novel interesting， and though it didn’t make me like her character more， it definitely provided good insight into her misguided and power-hungry notions。The love story between Elora and Brannick continues to flourish， though I did hope for a little more in the romance department， especially in the first half of the book。 After what happened at the end of the last book and what Elora did for Brannick， I found his initial treatment of her a bit extreme and unusual。 His actions in this first half of the book contrasted with my expectations， but I think this has a lot to do with the fact that Brannick is not very experienced with feeling such deep and strong emotions for another person。 I do like how their relationship progresses， especially in the second half of the book！ It seems as if they are on more equal terms in this book， and I have a feeling their relationship is only going to get better from here！Finally， can I just say how much I love Brannick’s wolf Blaz？ A fiercely loyal and intelligent companion who becomes a great support and asset to Elora and Brannick， Blaz is also so sweet and caring。 Blaz， the consummate protector， has some pretty cool magical gifts too。Like all of Moody’s stories， this story has a ton of action， suspense， and a plethora of interesting and dynamically developed characters。 And that ending！ She’s the master of cliffhangers！ I can’t wait to read the fourth book in the series and see if Brannick and Elora can help Faerie and find their own happy ending。 Thanks so much to Kay L。 Moody for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Heart stopping action from start to finish。 Elora is now Fae but can’t access her magic。 Everyone tells her she needs to find it for herself。Elora， Brannick， Quintas， Lyren and Vesper are trying to find a way to overthrow Queen Alessandra so Brannick can become High King。They are betrayed。This book was amazing and the battle still wages。 I desperately need the next book to see what happens next 😉

I had forgotten most of the story when I started， and that is a shame。 The first pages are slow and confusing if you don’t know the events from Book 1。 However， I caught on quickly。 Having sacrificed her humanity， Elora became the rock stuck in the tires， changing the flow of Faerie’s future。 No one expected her to survive， and prince Brannick brought her sisters to Faerie as moral support。 But becoming a fae did not gain her any intrinsic knowledge， and her sisters knew more than she did。 That I had forgotten most of the story when I started， and that is a shame。 The first pages are slow and confusing if you don’t know the events from Book 1。 However， I caught on quickly。 Having sacrificed her humanity， Elora became the rock stuck in the tires， changing the flow of Faerie’s future。 No one expected her to survive， and prince Brannick brought her sisters to Faerie as moral support。 But becoming a fae did not gain her any intrinsic knowledge， and her sisters knew more than she did。 That was funny！ Elora wanted to save the kingdom and the pixies， but she was still unable to access her newfound magic nor understand her fae-ness。 To be honest， I got annoyed at Elora。 In her desperate grasp for power， she ignored the fact she was just as capable before she became Fae。 When Chloe asked to help， Elora dismissed her。 I was so upset， but Chloe and Grace later became a focal point in the war to overthrow the new Queen。 I only changed my mind near the end with the Troll scene。 You have to read the troll scene！ It brings back what I like about her！Elora’s quest towards enlightenment involves overcoming her emotional outbursts and discovering her own strengths。 Saving the pixies to save the realm is a metaphor for recognizing the value in little things。 The thorns and snowflakes in the castle are not just obstacles。 As a novel geared towards younger souls， the theme of being displaced， moving and starting all over， is bittersweet。 Her younger sisters adjust easily， since they could study poetry and music anywhere， and their home is where the family resides。 Friends， work， potential loves， all the elements that could prevent a person from moving towards a better future are not as important for Elora， Grace， and Chloe。 Your desire for adventure is quite deadly sometimes。 You know that， right？”* I received an advanced review copy。 This did not influence my review （I like to review）。 。。。more

The latest installment of the Fae of Bitter Thorn series is an intense thrill ride that will keep you turning pages late into the night！ It’s such an emotional rollercoaster！ The characters are even more fantastic， the adventures are greater， and the stakes are higher。 I love this series and I cannot wait to see what Elora and friends do and how it all plays out in Queen of Bitter Thorn in September！ And after what happened in Fairfrost， I hope Ansel meets his end！

This is the third installment in The Fae of Bitter Thorn series。 The tension is very high in this one as Prince Brannick and his friends attempt to overthrow High Queen Alessandra。 This book is fast paced and full of suspense。 I love being surprised in a book and Kay L Moody never fails to surprise me！ Just when I think the plot’s going one way it completely swerves in a different direction。 Great world building， fantastic characters， lots of adventure， and a dash of romance。。。all my favorite th This is the third installment in The Fae of Bitter Thorn series。 The tension is very high in this one as Prince Brannick and his friends attempt to overthrow High Queen Alessandra。 This book is fast paced and full of suspense。 I love being surprised in a book and Kay L Moody never fails to surprise me！ Just when I think the plot’s going one way it completely swerves in a different direction。 Great world building， fantastic characters， lots of adventure， and a dash of romance。。。all my favorite things。 It was so exciting and the ending will leave you wanting more！ 。。。more

I am really in such shock especially with that ending。 I had no idea what to expect all but this wasn’t it！ The tension of this book， everything that Elora went through， everything with Brannick， this book was just so much！ Many emotional moments and much to love！ Well done Kay！
