First of all I'm very thankful that I was given a blurb of the book of the first few chapters.. I loved the introduction and I was happy to read about Rhen and Harper again. I love how it starts off where a heart so fierce and broken was left. Personally this sampler wasn't enough for a full review and I prefer to read the whole book at once! I can't wait to get into it and I hope that it will not be disappointing and above all no one will die *squints at Brigid Kemmerer*

Love! Such a great opener!  Zo is one of my favourites! Can't wait to read the conclusion of this series.

A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer - sample review

(I was given this sample in exchange for an honest review, but have since read the book in its entirety and my review will reflect this.)

Four Stars

I read the entire trilogy in one day, so the end of one book and the beginning of another are a bit blurred in my mind, but I really loved this finale. After everything that the characters went through in book 1, and then had to endure in book 2, it all came to a dramatic head in the finale.

Grey and Rhen headed for war, with the crumbling kingdom trapped in the middle, this book easily continues where the last one left off. Lia Mara, now crowned as the new Queen of Syhl Shallow struggles to rule her own way, with a gentler hand than that of her mother. Harper and Lia Mara are forced to decide where they stand - and how far they can follow the dictates of their hearts. 

The previous book sets up Rhen as a villain-type, after everything Lilith put him through, he isn’t coping very well and is lashing out blindly and violently. This book shows that he isn’t really a villain at all but still shows that what he has done isn't okay. It portrays his struggle, and that of the other characters, in recovering from their previous traumas, and trying to come to a peaceful solution to their conflict. 

I enjoyed having different POV characters, as it was a refreshing change from the last few YA books I’ve read, and gave a different perspective of the same events - framing them in different lights and revealing more to each of them. 

An issue I did have, was with the way things ended. To me, it felt that only two characters had their arcs tied up (Grey and Lia Mara, though there was obviously room to continue their story.) and other characters didn’t have as much resolution to their arcs. After everything Rhen did in book 2, it would have been nice to see this acknowledged and actually dealt with, instead of the immediate happily ever after we were given. 

All of that aside, I really did enjoy this book just as much as I enjoyed the previous two, and would definitely read it again. I have already recommended the trilogy to friends/family that have an interest in reading Young Adult and would recommend it to any fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Cruel Prince.

It has the same fantastic writing style as the first two in the trilogy and the sample I've read makes me really want to find out how it ends and if they all end up with happy endings.

This is a Sampler so I am unable to give proper feedback for this title but I am very excited to read the full version of this book!

Worth the wait for this final volume, I am hooked after only a few chapters in and am now fully immersed in the audiobook that I've been approved for!

Since receiving this sample arc I have bought and read the whole book. 

I loved this one. I wasn’t that big of a fan of the first two because from the hype around them I expected much more than what I got - I did enjoy them but I just didn’t find them epic. This one however, I really enjoyed. The whole storylines for each of the characters come together perfectly. And the characters themselves got a lot better and I really started to love each of them. I loved the pacing, and I adored the ending. It was exactly what I wanted and I’m sure many fans of the series want too. Overall a good series that I definitely recommend

The first few chapters of this are definitely setting up an interesting story! I like that we are getting more perspectives again, but hope this doesn't become to convoluted. 

Book 2 was better than book 1, so I really hope this continues! I think it's going to get dramatic!

I thoroughly enjoyed these first 4 chapters of A Vow So Bold and Deadly. 
I really liked that we had all 4 perspectives which really welcomed me back into the world. It has been a while since I read books 1 and 2 but I found this opening very engaging whilst also helping me get situated in the plot. 

I can't wait now to read the rest of the book.

This book is one of my most anticipated books of the year, I absolutely love this series so I was super excited to receive a sampler of this wonderful book. 

It did not disappoint, it is so lovely to get a glimpse of what is to come and to be back with the characters on their adventures. I literally cannot wait to read the full copy of this book and see how this series ends. Albeit I dont want it to end and it does make me nervous.

As exciting and epic as its predecessors. I can't wait to aee what else is in store for Harper, Rhen & Grey

This sample was deadly! It's only made me wish for the end of this month sooner! 

Brigid always writes with such an enthralling manner and this frustratingly short sampler is no exception. I cannot wait to dip back into this third instalment, which if the sampler is anything to go by, will be the best of the three. The scenes are set, the world is built and the characters are ready for war! What a finale this is already shaping up to be.

I loved this sampler and I'm very intrigued as to how this series will end! I really have no idea how this will end because I feel that Brigid Kemmerer is really great at surprising her readers, but I'm excited to read the final book. I've rated the first two books in this series 5 stars so I don't doubt this will be another 5 star read.

read ing the series this month, I did not really like the second book, but the third book in the series has potential to be a great read! hoping to read when it comes out

Probably one of my most favourite series ever!! This one I think was my favourite out of the trilogy. I am wish I could go back and read it all over again.

Honestly, if this sampler is anything to go by the book is going to be OUTSTANDING! just like the first two in the series

Having read the first two books I was excited to be able to read a sampler for the third book in the series and it did not disappoint.
Four point of views, each carrying the weight of the choices of the characters from the previous books. Each giving a snippet of what's to come. I'm excited. 

Can't wait to read the rest of the book.

This is a great teaser into the last book in the trilogy and I'm so excited to read the book in full.

Just a little taste of the next instalment of this amazing series. I love the four distinct voices, the differing perspectives whilst still moving the story forward. I can’t to get my hands on the whole book and dive into this world again!

I really enjoyed the first two in the trilogy and this sampler did not disappoint.

The four chapters I read made me want to read the book even more. 

The characters looking back on what has happened and how this will affect their future - asking if they have made the right decision.

Cannot wait to read the whole book
