Another great addition to this series. I loved watching Morgan and Draven grow throughout this book. Morgan had to put up with so much while trying to stop her brother, it kept you on the edge of your seat. If you haven't started this series yet, you should go pick up the first book, you will not regret it. This series is just getting better as it goes. Now I can’t wait to pick up the last book in the series. I need to see how it ends.

Empress of a Fae by Briar Boleyn was a twisty, unpredictable fantasy that I wasn't expecting. A very good read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc.

For the third book in the series, my expectations were definitely let down. I was hoping for more action or just more. I found this one pretty slow and a little boring. Yes there were parts that I found exciting but mostly the story just didn’t do it for me. I was happy that we got more information about Arthur and resolution in that aspect. Draven and Morgan’s story does take more shape and the romance was pretty enjoyable as it was unique. I will be finishing the series with the fourth book but I think my expectations are pretty low.

Epic fantasy loosely built around Arthurian legend slams forward - unrelenting and fast paced, it will not let go! Camelot like you haven't seen it, good vs evil, betrayals around every corner, what a ride! Some things end, some ...

Once more, the author has delivered! This series continues to impress with its thrilling action and unexpected turns, making it impossible to tear yourself away. I admire how the author seamlessly integrates elements from Arthurian legend into her unique world. The world-building is top-notch; despite the intricate political landscape and various other elements, readers are fully immersed and left wanting more.

I'm eagerly anticipating further exploration of Fae history and background in the fourth book, and I'm practically bursting with excitement for the conclusion of the Blood of a Fae series! I'm grateful to both the author and NetGalley for allowing me to be an ARC reader for this series. I'm looking forward to seeing how everything wraps up, even though I know it will be bittersweet!

I loved this book and the series Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me early access to this title.

First of all thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book picks up exactly where the last book left off, with Morgan having returned to Camelot through a portal and leaving Draven behind.

This book differed from others in the series by having some chapters from other POVs, so we actually get to be inside Draven's head. This was enjoyable and enhanced the story.

Something has to be said for just how well Boleyn writes villains that make your blood boil. Fenyx was a horrible character, even more so than Florian from the first book.

While there are some hateful characters, there are more loveable characters too. My heart was in my throat for them throughout this book.

I would thoroughly recommend giving this series a read if you enjoy fantasy books involving the fae and if you have an interest in tales of King Arthur (who does not come off well in this series).

I am looking forward to finding out how this series will conclude.

This portion of the characters story was filled with action. I loved the buildup. Briar Boleyn gives you the perfect amount of story before things start to become action packed and the action stays at a great level for the remainder of the book. This one set my heart racing while the first two had a steady burn. I had to read quickly because I was so anxious about what was going to happen. While I enjoyed the first two I definitely think this one is the best of the three books.

Thank you to Briar Boleyn and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this. We definitely upped the ante with this book! It was super intense and kept me riveted from start to finish. We got the character growth I was hoping to see in Morgan and I couldn’t be happier about that fact.
Most importantly, we finally got some of Draven’s POV!!! I totally thought this was a trilogy but I am NOT complaining about getting more of this series!

This was just what I needed.

I couldn't wait to see whete this tory would go after book 2. Especially since book 2 wound up being so much better as the story progressed.

And I wasn't wrong to be excited for this one.

I think it was a great way to continue things. And see what all would happen.

The characters continued to be interesting. And I still do love the take Briar had on this legend and turning it into hernoen thing the way she did

Just like the previous book, we’re not given a time jump, which I was happy about. It was, however, slower-paced than the previous book and I did think some times the chapters could’ve been condensed. I still liked it. which I’m happy about. I want to keep reading this series and from the author. There were a couple of plot twists and turns throughout the book, I didn’t catch all of them before they revealed themselves.

This book is very much a study on Morgan and her power, Fae and otherwise. I liked that it showed that even if you’re not wielding magic, you can definitely still be powerful. The events in this book definitely tested her strength and will and I’m glad to say she came out strong as I knew she would. Although her and Draven are physically separated for most of the book, you could see they loved each other and I liked how Draven kept saying “I’ll find her anywhere” and lines like that.

This has patches of action here and there but it is largely more of a quieter book and focuses on politics more than the previous books did (though Court of Claws did have a good amount of politics in). I don’t mind fantasy politics, so I liked that.

Will be posting a full review soon. I can't wait for the next installment. Read this book in only one night. Really like the characters. Really likes the different POV

Another great book by Briar Boleyn!! I have LOVED this story so much and look forward to reading the final book.

The writing in this book was exquisite and the suspense had me on edge the whole time. The character developments in this book were incredible, making it highly engaging. Briar's ability to bring the world to life was truly fantastic.

Just like book two, the story in this third book of the Blood of Fae series begins right where it ends. Morgan left Myntra and found herself back in Camelot. Even though they are separated by a vast ocean, the bond between Morgan and Draven is unbreakable. Their personal struggles in Camelot and Myntra helped them realize that they are stronger together. Likewise, when Draven felt something was wrong with Morgan's situation in Camelot, he immediately left and came to her aid.

This book was excellent! The story now has more pov and some new characters. We mainly have Morgan and Draven's pov. But also Lancelet and Guinevere have their own pov in some chapters. I find it fascinating to read. The plot became more intricate as Morgan returned to Camelot and concealed her identity as Siabra's Empress. Apparently, a lot happened when she left. Camelot's war conditions got even worse. King Arthur has a wife, Queen Belisent, who he married due to her ability to bring him the Excalibur. And Guinevere’s story.

I am fond of every step forward in this series. More plus point for this book because now it has a little banter! I giggled good times because of Hawl and the Mistress Bear-Killer. I deeply hoped that the next book will feature them more. This book also evokes strong emotions. I recall my hatred for Fenyx, the anger and pride of Lancelet, and Guinevere's courage despite suffering hardships.

I am excited to read the next book. Not only that, but I am optimistic that it will be a fantastic finale to the series.

I cannot get enough. I need to know what happens next. I think this was my favorite one so far. I love Morgan with my entire heart and soul. I have no notes. I was on the edge of my seat, I could not put this book down.

What a good end? I have heard rumours of a book 4 but for now i will review on the basis this is a trilogy. Thanks NetGalley and Starwater Press for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Empress of Fae gives quite a nice satisfying end line to the story i thought. The biggest thing i noticed was the significant change and, in a good way, the individual writing style and overall depth in the story from the author and in the characters and their development.
It has a mixture of old and new characters, the storyline kept me gripped to my kindle and i read the entire thing in one sitting and i was on the absolute edge of my seat. I loved the consistency in the retelling side in trying to fit the story to known arthurian legend where possible and it made this such a fun series overall.

Definitely pick this up if your needing something a bit different to try!

Empress of Fae is Boleyn's third book in her series Blood of Fae, that is set as a retelling of King Arthur from the perspective of Morgan and her bubbling hot/cold romance with Draven, continuing from the second instalment part 3 begins with Draven and Morgan being separated, and having some struggles to overcome. I feel like this instalment has better pace than the last which felt a bit rushed, instead in this book you could really feel the world building of Camelot and a greater understanding of the political rivalries at play. I hear that a 4th instalment is set to be published so going to be on the look out for it to find out how Morgan's tale ends.

This series has me in a chokehold. I cannot wait for the last book and have loved every second of adventure and spice that this series has to offer.

Thank you NetGalley and Briar Boleyn. ★★★★★ "Empress of Fae” captivates with its enchanting blend of romance, fantasy, and adventure.

Morgan Pendragon's journey from obscurity to embracing her true heritage as Morgan Le Fay is spellbinding. The author intricately weaves a tapestry of magic, love, and betrayal that kept me on the edge of my seat. You’re finally seeing more of Morgan as her true self and not denying herself what she deserves, the world!

The characters are vividly developed, each with their own complexities and motivations, adding depth to an already richly imagined world. The seamless interplay between the mortal realm and the fae domain adds a layer of intrigue! What’s going to happen, now!?!?!?

You also get more of a deep dive into the forbidden romance between Morgan and Kairos Draven which ignites the pages with passion. Their fate is already drawn, but can they accept it?

With every twist and turn, this third installment delivered an exhilarating ride! Literally through all emotions! Prepare to be enchanted.
