The final installment in my epic Modern Faerie Tales reread. Man, I freaking LOVE these books. Since all of Valiant completely fell out of my brain when I read it before, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this last installment. My memories of each novel seemed to have blurred together. But most of my memories of this were shockingly in tact and it was just as awesome as I remember!!

For anyone wondering, you don’t actually have to read Valiant to understand this one. The two are pretty unrelated, but it’s more fun if you have because the characters make an appearance.

My man Roiben is the freaking best. I love him so much and definitely count him among my fictional boyfriends. The poor guy just wants everyone to be happy and I hated seeing people screw him over. Kaye is also another favorite character of mine and I love how clever she is!! Even though Kaye is flawed, she always does what she thinks is best and stays loyal to the ones she loves. And I also loved Corny A LOT more this time around. In Tithe I had some trouble wrapping my brain around his character, but I didn’t have that trouble this time. Plus, watching the romance between him and Louis was so flipping cute!!



FINAL WORD

A great ending to a great series. A decade later and this is still one of my favorite series. Roiben and Kaye won’t let you down!!
