From the very first chapter I knew Kendig had done it again. Her ability to captivate my attention and draw me in to the story is always amazing.
Soul Raging is the long awaited series finale of the Book of the Wars. Lief Metcalfe is walking a risky line as he tries to uncover what happened during the gap in his memory. In this series we've seen Storms Rise, Kings Fall, and now a beloved Soul Rage. The adventures these pages uncover will keep you engaged and gasping.
Will Leif's unrelenting desire to know and understand his past be his undoing? Will those he's trying to protect in his quest for answers be the ones who pay the most unimaginable costs? Why can't anything ever be easy? Will Iskra's choice to believe in his best and do what Lief would do be at a cost she cannot endure? These are just a few of the questions that rise, fall, and rage throughout this spectacular story.
Threads from past stories are pulled in. Answers to lingering questions are revealed. And another great series ends. It's always something you want because you want to know how things end. But it's also something you don't want, because you don't want the story to be over. You don't want to be done and waiting on the next great book to be released. But now we wait ...
Thank you Bethany House for the opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own.

Soul Raging was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. After the way Kings Falling ended, I had to get my hands on a copy as soon as possible. And wow, what an epic conclusion to the series!

True to Kendig's rapid-fire style, Soul Raging never let up on the action, intrigue, and suspense. There were times when I literally couldn't catch my breath because of the full-throttle, high-intensity excitement. I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of the book, reading as fast as I could, trying to guess what would happen next and constantly being shocked by all the twists and turns. This story definitely kept me guessing. I didn't know who to trust, at times, not knowing who was friend or foe.

This was one of the most insanely intense and thrilling reads I've read. It's not a standalone but since the series is now complete, I highly recommend binge-reading the whole series in one go. You won't regret it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

From the very first line of this book to the last, I found I needed to remind myself to BREATHE!
Wow! Like the two other books in this series, I was captivated and amazed at the intense drama each of these characters went through.
What Ronie Kendig does to her characters is beyond anything I could think up. I don’t know if I’d like to be in one of her books.
However, I do LOVE to read about it and experience all of it from the safety of my own chair and cozy home. Unfortunately, while sitting in my chair I was sometimes gripping the seat and trying not to stop or look away from the book. There were parts in the book where I also wanted to shake a few of the characters up for how they were acting. I loved all the tension, dialogues, emotions, and actions of everyone in this book. They were relatable even though at times they seemed larger than life.
Ronie Kendig knows how to twist and turn the story in such a way you don’t see what’s right in front of you and when you see it, you can’t believe it! Many times I thought I knew who the true bad guys were and then I was proven wrong!
If you want to read a book packed full of intrigue, suspense, action (LOTS OF ACTION!), drama, military struggles, and a bit (well maybe more than a bit)of romance, then this is the book for you!
You might need a day or two to process all that happens in this book.
Believe me, you won't be able to breathe deeply until the end, but it will be worth it.
There were a few nights when I looked up from reading and it wasn’t as early as I thought. Meals were missed or casually thrown together because I just couldn’t put it down!
I highly recommend reading this book and the whole series.
Pick it up it will take you on the adventure of your life.
I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

"Better judgement was for those who had options" (location 711). This could be a banner over this book. When the whole world order and life as we know it is on the line, extreme measures need to be taken.

This is an exciting conclusion to "The Book of the Wars" series. Leif seems to be losing control and the team is falling apart. It's increasingly hard to know who is trustworthy. There's a ton of action, betrayal, and uncertainty. Secrets are revealed. It's a great read.

I think it's best to read this book as part of the series. So many things wouldn't make sense if you didn't know the back story. So start with book one and enjoy the ride.

Thank you to Bethany House for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Book 1: Storm Rising
Book 2: Kings Falling
Book 3: Soul Raging

As always, Kendig has created a masterful plot line that kept me on the edge of my seat. There were times I was sure a beloved character was a traitor and times I thought a traitor might turn out to be a decent sort. In the end, Soul Raging is a satisfying conclusion to The Book of the Wars series.

I recommend Soul Raging to Ronie Kiendig fans, and those who enjoy military fiction with a slice of romance. This is the third and final book in the series though so in order to fully grasp the dynamics of plot, characters, and setting, you should read these books in order.

An electronic copy from the publisher through Netgalley was used for review purposes. No compensation has been received.

Leif Metcalfe has been through a lot, and is learning that things have not always been as he thought they were. He is still determined to stop the final war that was prophesied in the Book of Wars, but he now has to question what his role is going to be. His friends are equally concerned because of what they learn about Leif’s abilities. All of this leads to an exciting story in a great series.

In the third book of the series, Ronie Kendig skillfully weaves a story that has many facets, but comes together cleanly. As it progresses, you can start to form ideas about how it will end, but she includes several twists that keep you unsure about how it will all turn out. I was drawn into the book and was intent on learning how it everything was resolved.

Besides having such an interesting plot, the book also illustrates trusting through difficult times and standing up for what you know is right. Many characters had to make tough choices that pitted personal comfort versus a greater good.

Soul Raging....so aptly named! This is book 3 of Ronie Kendig's The Book of the Wars trilogy. And what an ending!
Leif has been searching for the missing months of his life for years. Why can't he remember? And now he has the chance to finally find out what happened, but at what cost? There is a prophecy in the Book of the Wars and Leif is somehow intertwined with this prophecy. Can he abandon his country....his team....Iskra...to figure out what happened those missing months? Why can't he remember? Is he really a part of this prophecy written so many many years ago?
This book lives up to Ronie Kendig's tag line of Rapid Fire Fiction. This book is filled with fast paced action, twists and turns and “I did not see that coming” moments throughout. While Leif is the main character I love that all the characters are so well developed and have carried through the entire series. You can't help but smile at the banter between Cell and Mercy. And Mercy's super hero quips? The best! And I love that we learn more about Mercy and her life in this book.
I would suggest that you read book 1, Storm Rising, and two, King's Falling, before reading this conclusion. The story and characters build throughout the series.

OMG! This book was everything I'd hoped going into the end of this series/trilogy. I will admit to being slightly anxious/worried about things (especially Leif), after the ending that was Kings Falling. There were also some personal things going on that were effecting my ability/want to go through and read things. But then I saw a comment Ronie Kendig made regarding writing a fallen hero (http://roniekendig.com/scavenger-hunt-stop-12/) and somehow, I just knew things were going to turn out mostly alright.

I did find myself the slightest bit frustrated at how easily the team even thought about considering Leif might turn traitor. Granted, they almost immediately dismissed it, but even the momentary doubt bothered me slightly. I was glad that the team welcomed him back with the familial relationships they'd had, even though they were still admitting they'd been hurt by what happened. I did like Cell's thing when they were on the Seneca, it felt like, while he was still mad about what had happened, he'd still started to forgive Leif. And was wanting to give him a reason to come back.

I did like Iskra's pointing out that if he had meant to turn on them, things would have been a lot worse. I did feel bad about the momentary lapse she had when she got the satchel, but at least she acknowledged that she'd made a mistake. And she was able to use it to kind of start a conversation with Leif. I didn't quite understand how she ended up at leaving Taissia with Bogdashka just because Dani was going out of town. I'm sure that whoever was taking care of Dani and Canyon's kids would have been able to take Taissia no problem.

I will admit to being slightly surprised at Dru. I'd figured he'd known a lot more about what was going on, but there were clearly reasons he was having to take all the back roads to figure out what was going on. I was a little surprised at Braun, although I had suspicions. It was surprising to see how far/deep Veratti and ArC had managed to infiltrate. I did find myself wanting to know if the others like Mercy, Alisz and Iskra were able to get free. Same for any other Gen2s or the Neiothiens.

That epilogue was so beautiful. It was nice to see people getting slices of happiness and futures that seem to be growing by the second.

Ronie Kendig has promised to deliver a thrill ride through the world with the final book in her latest series Soul Raging. I have loved falling these characters around as they hunt for justice and a little bit of romance. While I mention romance, it was definitely not the main thread, thankfully, the hunt for Leif and bringing him and other players to justice lead the hunt. Kendig does a wonderful job at packing so much action and movement in a novel that I always have a hard time putting them down. I love getting to know each character and watching them as they change and grow from novel to novel. Each character arc features moments of transformation as they progress through the story. Kendig does a wonderful job at world building too that I never have to guess where I am and where the story takes place. She allows readers to experience and see the world just enough to allow readers to see the characters in their given world. While the novel can be categorized as a Christian fiction novel, I highly believe, even fans of secular novels should pick up this series. The Biblical themes are not overarching. Just like in the Indiana Jones movies. They deepen the characters and allow them to shine on the page. I highly recommend every novel that Kendig has penned and can't wait to see what else she crafts for her fans.

I received a complimentary copy of Soul Raging by Ronie Kendig from Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Wow! This series is one roller coaster ride from start to finish! Right when you think you might figure out what is going to happen, something totally different happens-something that you totally did not expect! Like it wasn’t even in the realm of possibilities!

As is usual with Ronie Kendig, this story made my heart race, I laughed, I cried, and during one scene, I literally felt the claustrophobia! I basically loved everything about this story - the team banter, the nonstop action, the characters- is it weird to miss fictional characters?- and I loved Leif and his relationship with Iskra. My out loud thought as I read the last word of this story was, “No! I want more!” I could really just see this series going on and on!

Ronie Kendig is brilliant. I’m seriously sad that this series is over! If you haven’t read any of her stories yet, I urge you to give her a try. You will not regret it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I have loved Ronnie Kendig’s books from the get go. She writes with great detail and historical input making you feel as though you are right in on the action feeling the ups and downs yet always hopeful. This is the end of this trilogy. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t’ wait for her next one to begin

Wow.
This is the book that brings it all together.
This book had my heart racing and reading so fast, and at the same time I found myself stalling to finish it, because I didn't want it to end.
And this book is a perfect example of why I read Kendig's books.
She brings something completely unique to the suspense genre.
She has action, and heart, fast paced and complex plots intertwined. Heroes that go to battle while fighting their own inner war. Heroines that are strong, unique, and unforgettable.
I love her warriors!
This series is epic.
It is everything I look for in a militarily suspense read.
It's intense, with that gritty edge that had me wondering just how it was going to end! She really had me guessing!
I really loved how the characters grew when pushed to the limits.
I loved how the author brought it all to a climax and left me completely satisfied at the end.

This is the final in a three trilogy book series. I found it fitting end to an action packed set of stories. Along the way, there were a few plot twists and you could never be 100% sure who were the good guys and whom were the bad ones.

I got this free in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series before reading this one. It is one of those books that you need to read the previous books so that you understand the complex arc of the book. I really enjoyed all of the books, so I don't consider this a hardship at all!

If you enjoy action, romance and mystery - this book has all of that and more. It's definitely worth a read!

You will not be disappointed that you read this book! It’s the last of a three part series and it had me captured and engulfed from the first book. As a group of elite operatives travel the world fighting an unknown power that wants to take over the economic currency of the world, you will learn to route for and cheer on each character. Lief is the main character on which the prophecies are made but each character was deeply developed by the author. Twists and turns and surprises await you in this book!

I was given a copy in exchange for my review but I would have bought my own!

SOUL RAGING by RONIE KENDIG will take you on a roller coaster ride of tension and suspense and forms a good end to the series. I suggest that the books be read in sequence in order to understand the overall plot fully.
It is an exciting book with a lot going on and it is good to see how the various characters, both good and bad, end up.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Wow, "Soul Raging" was a fast paced, crazy twists and turns of an ending to the Book of Wars series.

With several of the plot turns that I didn't see coming this was a sad story with a hopeful ending.
