This is the last book in an outstanding trilogy that has followed a recent pattern of failing to live up to expectations. It was the characters that killed it for me. I do not understand their behaviors and reason or why they were even the main characters to begin with. And the resolution; oh gag me with a Spoon. (To show my age.) The first two books were amazing and BK chickened out and refused to write what promised to us.

Much better than anticipated. I really thought I wasn't going to like it since I was not a fan of the second book. Author did a wonderful job.

YES YES YES! Such a good ending to the series, and I am very hard to please. Though this was only an excerpt, I'm of course talking about the whole book. Everything was tied off very neatly.

I felt that this book perfectly closed this series. The romantic relationships were sprinkled throughout the novel, but not the most important thing or focal point of the story. While I would have liked to see more romance scenes, I understand why the author did not include as much as in the previous installations.
This book really focuses on the fact that no one can find peace while dwelling on the past and the importance of sibling relationships.
One of my favorite things Kemmerer does in this book is reference the past two books in a way that feels natural. There are single line flashbacks (If they can be called that) where the characters remember just a hint of the past. This is done throughout the book and was something I found really fun and emotional as I remembered some of my favorite parts of the series.

All time favourite series. Perfect end to the trilogy. The characters and the story developed so much and absolutely loved them all except Lilith.

This was a fun book with many twists and turns though out the book. Over all I really enjoyed it and wish it wasn’t over. Hopefully we can get other books that follow some of the characters later on.

This was a good excerpt. I can’t wait to read the book. I like these characters and the story. It’s very good.

A Vow So Bold and Deadly was a book I had preordered as soon as I knew it's release date. Then it sat on my shelf for a very, very long time and I'm not sure why. Maybe because I knew I didn't want the series to be over? I'm not sure, but I regret waiting because there was a lot I had forgotten from the previous 2 books that left me confused and googling the previous books to remember what had happened.

Book 3 of this series was definitely (and unfortunately) my least favourite. I felt like it dragged on a lot for the first 70% or so of this one, and still don't feel like a whole lot happened. I still really loved the writing, and being back in Emberfall with characters I'd fallen in love with, but I felt like I missed out on a lot. I really enjoyed the alternating chapters with different POV's. There was just so much build up for so little pay off, I felt, in the end. I still give this one 4 stars, because I enjoyed the characters, the writing and the overall end of the series.

This was a good follow up in the series - I enjoyed seeing how the characters continued to grow and work together and being back in a familiar world is always fun!

A Vow So Bold and Deadly is the conclusion to the Cursebreakers trilogy. While I had struggled a bit with book two, this book really wrapped up the storyline and character development well and brought me back to enjoying the series. Even though this was only an excerpt, I was quickly sucked in and needed to read the rest of the book ASAP. Fans of the series will enjoy this final installment.

I really enjoyed this series, I didn’t completely love the second book but the third book really saved the series for me!

3.5 Stars Rounded Up

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions for me- It was good but it was a disappointing conclusion to the series.

I wanted to love it as much as I did the other two books, but found Harper to be incredibly annoying in AVSBAD. I was also disappointed by the part the love triangle played when absolutely nothing ever happened. It made it all so unnecessary in my opinion. Also, I don't like how the ruling of the kingdom ends up...

It was underwhelming to say the least. I'd still recommend reading it though if you lived the first two books and want to know how it all ends.

This book shook me to the core! A perfect way to wrap up this amazing trilogy! I definitely think this a great series especially for the younger side of ya but definitely enjoyable for a wide audience! Brigid’s captivating characters and worldbuiling had me sucked into this book so deep! Also the fact that Harper also has a limp is so powerful and the physical disabilities are not seen enough in literature. Overall a wonderful conclusion the Curse So Dark And Lonely Series!

I really wanted to love this conclusion to the Cursebreaker series, and while I enjoyed many parts of the story, I felt that it left too much unresolved at the end (so much so that I wonder if there is a plan for another book?!).

What I enjoyed: I like that we got Rhen and Harper’s perspectives in addition to Gray and Lia Mara. I missed Rhen and Harper in the second book so it was nice to have their minds back again. I think that the book put a nice bow on Gray and Lia Mara’s story. I enjoyed the side characters and their stories of growth (especially Jake).

What frustrated me: I really feel that this series started with Rhen and Harper, making them the main characters in the book (Gray and Lia Mara are great primary side characters, but I just was not as invested in their story as I was with Rhen and Harper). However, they just didn’t get the focus they deserved in this novel and their ending was terrible and unfinished. I mean, the last thing that Rhen said to Harper was to yell at her out of frustration - like that is not a fair ending to their story. Do we know Rhen and Harper love each other? Yes. Do we have any idea if they will stay together? None whatsoever. We have no idea really what Rhen and Harper will do next, and it is not fair to keep their story unfinished. It would've made more sense for Gray to abdicate in Emberfall and have Rhen continue to rule there, while Gray rules in Shyl Shallow with Lia Mara - I mean, how can Gray be king in Emberfall while having a family in Shyl Shallow? It makes no sense. Rhen made a lot of mistakes but he cares for his people and should still be king. There was just too much left unresolved at the end for it to be a good ending, and a bad ending can ruin a whole book, and ruin a whole series.

Content warning as well that this book kicks it up a notch from the first two in terms of the flame factor. I would say that this one is partial open door, which I was not expecting based on the first two books.

THIS NOVEL WAS SO GOOD! I finished it a really long time ago, but it was a good ending to the trilogy.

I'm so excited to read this book. It was on my TBR before but now it's been moved to the top of the list!

This was a bit of a flop for me and was not as consuming as the first. Maybe there was a little bit of magic missing.

I should have known this book was out of my comfort zone and that I wasn’t going to enjoy it too much. Unfortunately it just didn’t work for me with my taste of genres. I know the intended audience would absolutely love it!

I liked it but didn't loveeeeee it. 🙈 I think the 70% of the book was really good and was on track to be 5 stars but the ending just lacked a little luster. Or as my girl Katie put it was a like a sad trombone. 😂 I wanted more of Rhen and Harper. But I really did love getting to see them again!!! I missed them SO much in book 2!

I do adore Lia and Grey. But it felt like the author was 100% team Grey. Which as a 100% Team Rhen-er I struggled a bit. I find I'm often more attached to the first couple I'm introduced to. They went through so much especially Rhen! I wanted more happy times for them!!

But I did really enjoy it!! The end was sweet but at the same time I wanted more!!!! I REALLY WANT AN EPILOGUE of them in the future. That would have made me SO HAPPY. But, overall I did enjoy it! But the first book is still my fav tho! I freaking love Harper and Rhen so much. Harper is so spunky and makes me smile so much!!!!!! PLEASE let us get a surprise epilogue!!

Fantastic conclusion to a great series! I loved where all these characters ended up. This sample was great to read before the book came out.
