This is the third book in The Mist King series, and we pick up right where we left off. This book was a little slower compared to the others in this series. The others used multi-POV but it was mostly limited to the two main characters and that was fine for me. This one adds POVs from characters who have had much less development and that took me out of the story a bit.

All in all, I enjoyed this book, it's a fun read, and the story is compelling.

This book picked up seamlessly where book 2 ended, and I was hooked immediately. I thought after how action-packed the first two books were, this would end up being a filler or time to set the stage for the final book, but I was wrong. My heart was racing through every chapter, and yet I found time to fall in love with not only our MCs, but the side characters that have been with them along the way. I adore this series and cannot wait for the final book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the opportunity to read rage and review this arc which is available April 28,2023.

This is an awesome third installment but of course it gives more questions than it answers. Love love love this series and I cannot wait to buy it

Summary:

Of Night & Chaos is the 3rd instalment from the Mist King Series.

The story of Tessa and Kalen continues. Andromeda has been released and a comet streaks through the sky signalling the return of the monstrous gods.

For as long as she can remember, Tessa has dreamed of a better world. But she might be the one who damned it.

Review:

This book was everything I needed from a fantasy romance. The perfect mix of adventure, battle, mystery and love.

The character building in this book is phenomenal. Seeing Tessa grow into this strong, powerful heroine was inspiring and yet she never loses her humanity and love for others. The side characters are loveable and I was as invested in their story as that of Tessa and Kalen.

Kalen is hot, loving, passionate and everything you need in a hero. The book has the perfect amount of steam which adds to the story.

This book gives a great focus to family relationships between siblings and parents which offers a unique perspective.

That cliffhanger ending has broken me - I need the next instalment to be here now!

‘May the realm never break’

4 -⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Here's what is real. You are Tessa Baran, and I am yours. That's all that matters."

Of Night and Chaos is the third novel in the New Adult Fantasy Romance series, The Mist King which follows the journey of Kalen, Tessa, and their friends as they are faced with a seemingly impossible battle on the horizons not just from outside sources but also within. The night has fallen on the realm and the gods are on the horizon...their hope lies in the power that resides in Tessa but if she isn't careful, deadly consequences will unfold...

This book took Tessa and Kalen's relationship to places I absolutely adored. There is tension, sweetness, and support that made whatever they had to surmount worth all the feels it wrung from me. Tessa grows further into her own as she must embrace this new power in her. I appreciated that she was given space to find herself and she wasn't being kept on the sideline. Kalen shows a vulnerability to him in this book that made his actions so much more sweet...while also being willing to do whatever it takes to protect Tessa. He definitely was more willing to say what he feels over Tessa.

The use of multipovs I think really helped further build the world for me, especially Niamh and Ruari and their journey. The entwined so well with the larger theme and plot and had me excited for where things are going. Though...Morgan...I demand justice!

The spice of this book i would put at around 2.5 spicy peppers out of 5 spicy peppers. It is more of a fast burn as the couple are in an established relationship but it was such a sweet element to balance the tension and action building.

"I will be yours as long as I draw breath, and I will never take another for as long as I live. I will be linked to you forever."

The story itself really ramped up in the book with the big action finally starting to come together. I enjoyed the build up with the mysteries being unfolded and the cliffhanger is BRUTAL. I am now incredibly nervous for what is to come but the journey as been so good so far. The twists were interesting but I did predict the majority of them and I did note one area that felt a little telling rather than showing but overall I found the story was well paced and kept me intrigued the entire time. We got these fascinating reveals involving each characters' histories that really added some nuance to the story for me.

If you're looking for a fantasy romance with a sweet romance, high tension, and cliffhangers this is a series to check out! This released on KU on April 28th!

Thank you got Netgalley and the author for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book picks up where the second book ended, and it really hooks you from the start! I love the multiple POV’s and that we really get a good sense of all the characters and their relationships. I finished the book feeling like I really knew each one. Highly recommend!

Throughly enjoyable addition to the series.
We get more answers, and a lot more character growth as well as new characters itself.
Definitely worth the read and looking forward to the final book!
Thankyou for the ARC
