Didn't get through them all I'm afraid. I wanted to, I really liked the sound of these books, but they just didn't quite hold my interest and ended up setting them aside.

I honestly do not recall being given the opportunity to read these novels. As such I clearly did not read them and I don't believe I would go back to. Thanl you very much, but I am uninterested and wish I did not have to give a star rating to something I never read. Please feel free to remove this non-review.

This has 3 books in 1. I just got bored and couldn't keep reading. The book sounded really good, but it got repetitive really fast.

2.75/5 Yeah...this wasn't for me. I just didn't like it and I felt that it took me ages to read it and I guess I just didn't vibe with this book. I don't want to say much because I feel like I went into this series not in the right frame of mind to read this and I think that soured my view of these stories. I wasn't feeling like reading fantasy and I wanted to get this book read and I read it and yeah wasn't enjoying it. I might go back and read it again when I'm in a fantasy mood and see if that helps me like it better. But the writing was interesting and the characters were okay and everything so I hope rereading it will fix my view of these stories!

Having read the 3 books one after the other I have to say the first two were so superior to the third.
The third book appeared to really lose its way and was a disappointing end.
I felt let down.
Would I have bothered with the first two books if I had know the third was going to lose its way?
The answer would have to be no.

This three box set series is exciting, thrilling, and one epic fantasy.
The series follows Dana a reluctant princess and Will a man who can see more in Dana than just the facade on the outside. Together they must save the empire and maybe each other along the way.

This is an epic fantasy that brings you in and makes you want to read all three books in a row. It is wonderful to have a box set that let's you do that. If you enjoy epic romance and an adventure to save a kingdom you will enjoy this.

This has 3 books in 1. I had to force myself to finish the first one. I just got bored. The book sounded really good, but it got repetitive. I think the author spent wat to much time on each subject, especially training Dana.

For me, this is a fantastic story. A baker and a princess who become warriors. Friends and enemies from distant lands. Kingdoms hidden in plain sight. RL Stedman is a wonderful storyteller.

Masterful. The changes in Dana are amazing. Her family and ancestral land may be inaccessible, but her home is always with her. Her home is where her heart is and she has Will in her heart. N'tombe and Jed fill out her party. R.L. Stedman has done a fine task in telling this story.

Fantastic job. Well done. Kudos.

A great story wrapped up nicely. At first, I was a bit perturbed when, as you expect, the Eternal One is killed but Dana and Will not not yet together. Then I noticed that I still had about a third of the book to go. While good and evil may be never ending, a good story reaches a conclusion. And so it is for the SoulNecklace Stories.

I was given this as an ARC by the author; however, the review and rating rating are mine and mine alone.

Thank you netgalley for this beautiful arc of the whole trilogy. I'll be writing three seperate reviews for each book.

For book one:

This was a great first novel for a series!! There was so much in this fantasy novel about a young princess, Dana, who has a magical power of true dreaming that lets her see the past, present, and future.

Then Will comes in, inheriting a golden ticket from his mother to come to the kingdom and becomes an apprentice to the King's Castle.

I couldn't put this book down, it was such a great opening to the trilogy and to the world R. L. Stedman created!

*******
Sequals can sometimes be really bad, but this series and this author gets better with time! The MC's were more confident and sure of themselves and the world was opened up much more this time around. The danger and action was even more and I couldn't put this book down.

It was crazy good, thank you netgalley for giving me an arc as part of the trilogy! I loved it!!

**********

This third book was AMAZING. It was a rush as Will rushed to save Dana in this latest book. I honestly have fallen in love with these two characters through reading all three of these books. R. L. Stedman has created such an incredible fantasy world that I have fallen in so deep.

I couldn't put any of these books down until the very end and I am so sad to see it finished already! I hope there is more, the writing is brilliant!!
