I only read the excerpt with a chapter from each of the four main characters points of view. In each chapter you see where the characters are now to prepare you for what is going to happen in the rest of the book. I am looking forward to seeing how everything plays out in this conclusion to the trilogy.

I can already tell this is going to be an awesome book from the first four chapters and I can’t wait to read this entire book! Brigid Kemmerer has one of my favourite writing styles and this series is one of my favourites.

I reading samples are always bittersweet. They leave your craving for more and that's exactly what this one did. I believe it'll live up to its hype as one of the most highly anticipated reads of the year!

I’m so excited about this book!!! I was iffy on the second book, didn’t love it as much as this one but this excerpt has given me hope!! I’ve preordered this and expect it to be a favorite book of the year!!

Wauw, I really can't wait to read on! I loved the four chapters so far. The writing style is still amazing and makes you curious about the rest. It reads easy but it's also intriguing. Since all each chapter is written from different main characters it was also amazing to read about them again. I just love to be able to read on!

When I first picked up this series, I wasn't really sure what I would think of it. It was one of that, particularly in a sea of fairy tale retellings, could go either way. I am so happy that I gave this series a shot! I couldn't put it down. I debated for a while whether I really wanted to read an excerpt, since I was impatient enough for the third book as it is, but in the end everyone knows I was not going to be able to help myself. Just as I expected, I am now so absolutely ready for this book to come out that I can't stand it. I have been trying everything I can think of to magic the rest of the story into my hands, but alas, I will have to wait until January. January cannot come soon enough for me!

I was enchanted by the first two books in the series, so obviously I can’t wait for this final book to come out. When I picked up the first book, I was actually a little bit over re-tellings already, especially a Beauty and the Beast one. However, I flew through the book. Harper’s grit and Grey’s loyalty made the book unique.

I wasn’t a big fan of the second book, although it wasn’t as bad as I had thought, given the mixed reviews I read. I didn’t fully like the direction of the story, but I still enjoyed the storytelling. The 4 chapters in this sampler were good as a reminder of what would happen next. Obviously everything was gearing up to this moment of a final battle.

I’m interested to know what Harper and Grey will do next. I’m still not a fan of Lia Mara (and the trope of untrained, young queen doesn’t do it anymore for me), but I’m intrigued by what will happen to Rhen given Lilith’s grip. Is he going to be a permanent villain? Or is he going back to being a misunderstood soul?

This sample was such a great start, I can't wait to read the rest of it! I think that it is a great idea that all four main characters will have chapters from their viewpoint as this will help show all aspects of the story from different perspectives. Harper and Grey have always been my favorite characters of the series and they are able to show the struggles of both sides, Emberfall and Syhl Shallow. Thank you to Netgalley for the sample of A Vow So Bold and Deadly!

How am I supposed to continue on! I cannot wait until 2021 - I would expect nothing less than brilliance from Brigid Kemmerer. This is quickly ranking as one of my top YA series of the year.

Excellent introduction to the final installment! I can't wait to read the rest of A Vow So Bold and Deadly in 2021!

This is the third instalment in Kemmerer’s intriguing, twisty fresh take on the classic Beauty and the Beast story. The first two books were absolutely stunning, and the conclusion looks set to be as excellent as those that came before. A sneak peak at these few chapters promises excitement, hauntingly good writing and a few more twists and turns as the story reaches its conclusion. I can’t wait to read the whole book.

While this excerpt only contained the first chapters in each character's perspective, it did very much help me get excited for the full novel.

This is a fine introduction to the concluding book of this series. Readers will be clamoring to see how the series ends.

Since I got a sampler and not the full book, I can only speak for the first four chapters. But so far, it seems really really promising and I cannot wait for the real book to be published!

A Vow So Bold and Deadly is the third books in its series, and since I too often find that third books doesn´t meet my expectations, I was a little worried about this one. However, I can now truthfully say that my worry was completely in vain because Brigid Kemmerer does not let her readers down. This book is just as well written, captivating and amazing as her other books! The cover is just as astonishing as the story within. January 26 really cannot come to soon.

What a tease! This sample from A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer has left me even more impatient for the release of the full novel!

If this is a true reflection of what is to come, I am looking forward to submerging myself in the last book of this trilogy. I am definitely loving that it looks like we will be seeing sections via the POV of all four MCs.

Ugh! I don't know what is worse, having indulged and be craving more or completely in the dark. Fingers crossed that there are no delays to the current UK publication date of the 26th of January 2021.

One thing is for sure, sides will be taken!

Thank you to the publisher (Bloomsbury USA Children's Books/Bloombury YA) and Netgalley for this sneak peek in exchange for an impartial review.

I absolutely loved the first 2 books in this series and I cant wait for the full book to come out. This excerpt has me so excited to find out now everything's going to end. Brigid Kemmerer is such a spectacular author and I cant wait to read her next books, but I'm sad that the cursebreaker trilogy has to end. This sampler has me so excited for the full book and I know that once its released, I will devour it like I did the others.
