Alexis:
It’s official—I’ve been destroyed by this series. This book gave me my first book hangover in a good while.
Legrand went ham in this last book. Like in Kingsbane, the characters go through so much trauma in Lightbringer.
The first half was a little slow. Rielle was insufferable. And I’m still not sure how I feel about the ending. Yet…I was so caught up in the story. I loved the plot twists!
If you’re looking to read a fantasy trilogy with flawed and morally gray characters, time travel, angels, powerfully magical women, elemental magic, and super high stakes, then this is the series for you.
VERDICT: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
TW: Blood, depression, gore, grief, murder, self-harm, suicidal ideation, torture, violence, and war
