The incredible conclusion to the trilogy that started with the instant New York Times bestsellers Furyborn and Kingsbane!In this epic finale to the Empirium Trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claire Legrand, two queens, separated by a thousand years must face their ultimate destinies. Queen Rielle, pushed away from everything she loves, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad, urging her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she embraces the role of Blood Queen and her place by Corien's side, determined to become the monster the world believes her to be.In the future, Eliana arrives in the Empire's capital as a broken shell of herself. Betrayed and abandoned, she fights to keep her power at bay--and away from Corien, who will stop at nothing to travel back in time to Rielle, even if that means destroying her daughter.But when the mysterious Prophet reveals themselves at last, everything changes, giving Rielle and Eliana a second chance for salvation--or the destruction their world has been dreading.Praise for Furyborn: A BuzzFeed Most Anticipated Title of Spring 2018A Goodreads Most Anticipated Title of Spring 2018A Bustle Most Anticipated Title of Spring 2018"A must-read." --Refinery29"A series to watch." --Paste magazine"Visionary." --Bustle magazine"One of the biggest new YA fantasies." --Entertainment Weekly"Empowering." --BuzzFeed

I devoured this book. I grew to love the characters Eliana, Remy, Zahra and Navi so much. I thought it impossible to start liking Rielle but I did. There was so much action and I'm impressed by the complex narrative.
"There is too much hate in the world already," Navi replied after a moment. "Why direct more of it at yourself?"
What a bittersweet end to the trilogy.

Read before the end of the #WinterGames so might as well post before I total my points.

So much going on in this book. I mean SO much it was hard to keep track at times. The ending wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be but it was just how it should have ended.

Book #34 - This was a tedious read at times but definitely worth it for such an epic story. It was so fulfilling how everything came together in the end - definitely shed some tears. Eliana is added to my list of favorite book characters. Realizing quickly how sad I am that it‘s over.

"May the Queen's light guide us." ☀️?

A little over 2 years with this trilogy, and now it's finished. ?

It's always going to be bittersweet to stick with a series until the end. Thank you all the same to Claire Legrand for telling this story!

I waited a long time for this book, and when I finally had it, I tried to read as slowly as I could.

And now it's over.

What an ending. Before starting on Furyborn, I was skeptical of the idea of time travel. But the threads of it were woven so well from the first book to the last that I can't imagine Rielle's and Eliana's story without it.

This was worth the wait. And I'm already looking forward to re-reading the trilogy someday.

⭐: 5

“We are not our anger”
This is that book that settles the entire series on its final 40 pages. It was tough to read through sometimes, but that ending was so perfect. I cried over Rielle‘s anguish and pain to just rest
It all came down to Rielle, as it always did, with how she was treated and how it affected her pain and anger in directing her path. How she was controlled by everyone around her-subconsciously. She knew nothing but her power

This itself. Eliana talking to her past mother about her pain is just so ragged and intense. This is the buildup the whole trilogy has been working towards. Such a hunger games feel to it, it‘s crazy

“We all have light and darkness inside us. That‘s what It means to be human.”
“And if I am more than human?”
“Then you must carry more of the light, and more of the darkness too”

Getting going on the final book of the trilogy. These two women are going down such dark paths of deceit and pain it‘s incredible. Because of the second, we know why each of them are going down their paths. The read is easy and smooth, albeit with slow action. There‘s so much building sometimes I feel like I‘m just waiting for it to be finished
I feel like I should have know who the prophet was before they announced it

Mehso-so

This is tough... because I have so much love for this series. But this one was underwhelming I guess 😕 the story took forever to get going (they were just walking along most of the time) there were some 🔥 scenes, but I really didn‘t like the ending. Worth it to complete the series but not memorable for me.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5
Also why do they keep hiring that terrible voice actress for the audiobook she is such a ham! Like a histrionic ham. 😶

Book 3 in this series. Yesterday the author, or someone representing the author posted to twitter that she was taking break for “serious health issues“. I hope she gets better soon.

Out October 13
