Description
The Epic Conclusion of The Everlight Series . . . Fate is Never Wrong.
Ivy Rune not only escaped the Count's castle; she uncovered the truth of her father's disappearance. But the consequences of this revelation force Ivy to seek help from her friend Ember’s mother. However, as Keeper of the White Forest, Airlend Frost is also an enemy of the Count.
With the Count on their trail, Ivy and her friends race to the White Forest. But when they arrive, a buried fate in Ember’s world collides with the final secret of Ivy’s past, unexpectedly binding Ivy to the White Forest.
To protect her loved ones and the White Forest from the Count’s coming destruction, Ivy accepts a mission to retrieve a powerful object. With everyone’s future at stake, Ivy discovers fate has its own plans for her, and there’s a price to wield this magic. If she’s not careful, Ivy risks betraying those she loves by fulfilling a fate she never intended.

"The perfect conclusion to a wonderful series! It feels rare to find a series that just gets better with every single installment, but Sara does that with these books. I loved each one more than the last, I loved watching the growth of these characters, I loved all the twists and turns and magic this world holds. I feel like I lived the same amount of adventure and magic as I do in some other series that take 700 pages per book to explain things. But Sara's writing is just that good, she pulls you in and takes you on a journey in a way few other authors can." -Goodreads review
"This book is a beautiful wrap up of the Everlight series! I was pleasantly surprised with the twists and turns of adventure and pursuit of justice. It’s a beautiful world of castles, magic, seas, and cozy villages, Id love to visit again!" -Audible review
"Forest Ever White is a powerful finale to the Everlight series, filled with magic, emotion, and adventure. Ivy Rune’s journey to stop the Count is both thrilling and heartfelt, as she uncovers secrets, embraces her powers, and learns the true strength of love and friendship." -Audible review

This was great story with high adventure, found family, and enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes. The characters were well developed and interesting. Overall this was a great read/listen.
The narrator was great, the pacing was perfect and the voice acting was well done.

This series took me by surprise!!
I was instantly curious and drawn into the characters and the mysteries as they unfolded!
This is a #nospiceyafantasy ,that as an almost 40 year old, was very fun, captivating and enjoyable. Every character brought forth mystery and made you want to know more about why they were they way they were and why they did what they did!
As an avid reader, I found the magic in this world to be extremely unique! It was something I had never read about before.
This is a fun 5 star series that I will definitely recommend to others!!
Thank you @saraknightlybooks for creating this gem and thank you @netgalley for the audiobook ARC of Forest Ever White!
Of course I couldn’t start on book 3, but luckily the first two are on #kindleunlimited

"Forest Ever White" drew me in just as easily as the first two books in the series did. And while this is billed as the conclusion to the series, it ended in such a way that another story with some of these characters could follow. So, rather than the sadness of an ending, there's a bit of hope for a potential future.
In this story, however, Ivy finally makes it to the White Forest along with many of her friends. However, the duke isn't far behind and is bent on the forest's destruction if he can't have what he wants most, the love of its mistress.
Ivy and Jack are tasked with a quest to find the First Seed and bring it back to the White Forest. Without it, the duke is sure to win. However, complications along the way seem to only make their quest more difficult, giving them more things they must accomplish beyond what they set out to do.
Thankfully, help from an unexpected source aids them in the final confrontation and ties up loose threads from earlier in the series, bringing this book to a satisfying end.
As a coming-of-age fantasy, there was a lot to enjoy about this series, but especially its answers to questions so many of us struggle with: Does might make right? Are we better off minding our own business or being part of a community? If we have the advantage over someone else, does that mean we have to use it? Is fate unavoidable?
Thank you to Sara Knightly, Portal Publishing, and NetGalley for an advance review copy.

Forest Ever White by Sara Knightly is a dreamy, emotional finale that delivers on every level—magic, romance, and a heroine who’s grown into her own power.
Reading this felt like wandering through a snow-dusted forest wrapped in starlight—ethereal, dangerous, and full of heart. Ivy Rune’s journey comes full circle in a way that’s both deeply satisfying and a little bittersweet. The White Forest setting is pure atmosphere, and the slow-burn tension with Airlend Frost? Perfection.
Thank you to the author and publisher for the privilege!
And congrats to Sara Knightly on this breathtaking conclusion to the Everlight series.

This audiobook was cute! I loved the fantasy elements and I really liked the story and narrator! It was a really good audiobook!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Forest Ever White wrapped up the Everlight series nicely. There were some twists and turns that had me wondering if there was going to be a fourth book, but Knightly tied it all together in the end. This is a great fantasy series with a hint of romance. It's nice to have a fantasy series that doesn't have any spice. The world building is breathtaking, the characters grow and develop, there's action, adventure, friendships and magic. This a great cozy YA trilogy. I will be purchasing this series for our high school library.

The epic conclusion to the Everlight series, Forest Ever White delivers a powerful finale filled with magic, emotion, and adventure. Ivy Rune's journey to stop the Count is both thrilling and heartfelt, as she uncovers secrets, embraces her powers, and learns the true strength of love and friendship.
Kim Churchill's narration brings the story to life, capturing the nuances of Ivy's character and the rich tapestry of the world.
Highlights:
Strong Protagonist: Ivy's growth is inspiring and relatable.
Emotional Resonance: Themes of love, sacrifice, and friendship shine.
Engaging Narration: The audiobook enhances the immersive experience.
Conclusion:
A satisfying end to a beloved series. Forest Ever White is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring strength of its heroine.

What I love about this series is how pure it is. @saraknightlybooks managed to create a modern-day fairy tale for all audiences and its perfection! It's a story about friendship, growing and learning about yourself, and yes, a little love as well! A true adventure and the world building is phenomenal - I can very vividly picture the forest, and I had real angst about the count. And then the magic! The magic is unique, and as far as I'm concerned, pure. The narration by @kimchurchillvoice was spectacular and created a real immersive experience. This series is a must-read for anyone needing to believe again. Believe in honour, believe in friendship, and believe in love.
Thank you to @netgalley and Portal Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely love this 5 star series. This is a series I could easily re-read and share with my niece. I do feel this is a book for all ages. Quite possibly the series could be one book, but even better would be a continuous adventure with more books. I did enjoy the narrator and already want to start the series over and I really do hope it will continue on with more adventures. Thank you NetGalley, Sara Knightly, and Portal Publishing for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

This series gets more and more intriguing. Book 3 has absolutely been my favorite! I did wish we would get another book after this, not a full novel maybe just a shorter novella or like a short story collection to kinda tie all the loose ends and give more of a final story ARC for some characters. With that said it is still a good conclusion. It's VERY engaging and fast paced. Something is always happening so it's easy to read this in a whole sitting cause you will want to know what happens next.
I do really love our characters, I think that's where this series really shines. That and the world building. It would be a fantastic starter Fantasy series since it's really easy to get into the story and easy to understand.
the audiobook was very well done, I really enjoyed the narrator!

A really captivating and wonderful series, even if I didn’t get to read the first book.
I really enjoyed the second and the third book.
The narrator did an amazing job in making the characters alive.
What a magical series!
Thank you NetGalley and to the publisher Portal Publishing, LLC.

Forest Ever White is a beautifully atmospheric tale that feels like stepping into a forgotten dream. Sara Knightly’s prose is lyrical and immersive, weaving a quiet, haunting story full of longing, magic, and aching emotion.
The pacing is slow in the best way every word deliberate, every moment heavy with meaning. The romance is soft, melancholy, and full of depth. I was completely swept away by the world and the quiet intensity of the characters.
Perfect for fans of gothic fantasy and poetic storytelling. This book lingers like frost on the skin chilling, lovely, and unforgettable.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
