Knight of the Goodness by Briar Boleyn is the fourth and final book in the Blood of a Fae series, a Camelot/Arthurian retelling. This book picks up where book 3 left off with a brief moment of peace in the kingdom before Morgan and Draven embark on their quest to find and destroy the three objects of power (grail, sword, and spear).

I enjoyed this book. I thought it was a nice, fast-paced conclusion to the series. While it had stressful moments, it felt balanced with the amount of conflict versus peaceful moments. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for granting me an advanced copy of the ebook. My review is of my own fruition and not influenced by this. Night of the Goodness was published on March 31, 2024.

Holy cow, Briar Boleyn did it again. This whole series is living rent free in my brain. I happened to pick up the first book in one of the "Stuff your Kindle days" and was given the ARC to the others. This whole series has a lot of twists and turns which leave you wanting more as you read. For me they were quick reads, and I love that so much about the series. I read them all in a few days which meant I didn't have a long time to wait between the end of one and the start of another.

I must give so many props to Briar Boleyn for her world building and character development. Knight of the Goddess repairs many relationships but also gives us more insights into others. Be prepared to laugh, scream, and cry at many points throughout this book.

This book was the perfect ending to Morgan's main storyline. I am hoping that we get more glimpses of her through other books that Briar Boleyn writes that are based in this world. Also, if someone would kindly send me Draven to be my husband, I would not complain one bit.

Thank you NetGalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC copies of this series, they are fantastic and I cant wait for others!

I have read books 1-3. This is the final book in this series. Just like the others this does have a content warning, map, pronunciation guide, & a full list of the characters. Multiple POVs in this one, but mostly from Morgan's.(MFC)

My expectations were high for the finale. I felt the first 23% or so was slower than it was in the previous books. Probably just super impatient to get to the good stuff. 😂The battle scenes were well written. I felt a lot of different emotions reading this. I wanted to throw my Kindle and cry sometimes. 😂 It almost felt like I was reading KOA by SJM all over again. 😭😭😭😭 SPOILER ALERT!! One thing that upset me the most: How could you do that to Nightclaw?! 😭

It's a bittersweet ending because I didn't want this series to end. I love all the characters & storylines. The character development throughout is outstanding. This series has incredible worldbuilding, fae, magic, mystical creatures, romance, & betrayal. I highly recommend this series. I can't wait to see what's next from Briar.

Thank you to NetGalley, Starwater Press, & the author for this ARC

In the conclusion of the Blood of a Fae series, Morgan and Draven begin their journey to destroy three objects that possess unimaginable power: the grail, the sword, and the spear. Traveling with their faithful companions, they discovered answers to questions that were lost in the midst of time.

In this book, we have Medra as a new character, and I liked her rapid development. In both physical and emotional aspects. She grew up to be a difficult child, but I can understand that. She feels lonely because everyone has gone, and she has too much on her plate. Not only that, but she built a wall around herself and used bad words to keep people away.

The story of Medra is the one I find most compelling in this book, not Morgan's journey. I found Odessa's approach to Medra to be equally admirable. It's both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I liked seeing this motherly side of her. The way she validates Medra was something I appreciated. She also gave me comfort without my awareness. In the same way, she healed a portion of my inner child with validation.

In general, I didn't find the adventure aspect enjoyable in this book because it became repetitive at certain points. But, I was fond of the characters' development, the twists, and the heartwarming ending.

I can't believe we're here... the fourth and final book. I've been such a fan of Briar, her team and her writing since the first book. There's been so many ups and downs with the characters and it felt like I was right there with them every step of the way. It feels sad that I won't hear more about their story, but also I enjoyed this ending. It's not my favourite of the series but that would've been hard to beat ;). Briar, thank you for everything and for being so sweet to all of us fans online x

This is the fourth and final book in the romantasy series, Blood of a Fae. We have a wonderful conclusion to the series where we see a Morgan go up against her family. Tropes include prophecies and lore, fated mates, found family, animal companions, and angst/hurt/comfort. Please check content warnings and be aware of character death(s). This book is darker than the prior three books.

The Lovely: The author definitely pulled out all the stops and didn’t hold back with this final book. I won’t lie - it really hurt at times, especially near the end. I loved that the characters went on a journey and we got to go with them. Most of my favorite moments were from that journey.

Also Lovely: As with the prior books in this series, the relationship between the main characters was incredible, swoony, and the stuff dreams are made of. You will feel for them, cry with them and rejoice with them.

Rating: 4/5 Stars 3/5 Flames

Recommendation: I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This series has been an adventure of family loyalties, fated love, magical creatures and seeking to right wrongs. I love how the story progressed and the FMC has grown. If you think back to how she was in book one and compare that to book four, you can see just how different she is now. I’m sad to see the story end and leave these characters in Camelot.

“Love was more than sharing pleasure. It was taking on another’s pain.”

How can it be over?! Knight of the Goddess concludes the Blood of a Fae series by Briar Boleyn. Sad is an understatement. This book actually ripped my heart out.

Prepare your hearts as you journey on with Morgan Pendragon’s most important quest. Of course, it wouldn’t be a quest without her group of people, including non other than our favorite Siabra, Draven.

The final revelations of this book and the rollercoaster ending just had my emotions all over the place. I think it was a great (while still a bit sad) ending.

This book really explores some loss and sacrifice to get to the “final battle”. Which honestly I didn’t see coming after the last book but wow it was a wild ride.

I will definitely be re-reading this series just to experience that all over again. This may be one of my favorite reads of 2024. Is my favorite in the series still book 2 (Court of Claws)? Yes probably but this was a good end to great series and I’m going to miss Morgan, Kairos, and their people. (especially Hawl my favorite bearkin)!

Wow! I can’t believe this series this is actually over. Boo-hoo I loved all of the characters in this book and I’m sorry to see them go. You won’t go wrong picking up this series.



Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for digital copy for my honest opinion

"Be everything you truly are. That's all I'll ever ask of you, my silver one."

I kind of don't want to write this review because it's the last one of this series. 🥺 I'm happy to report it was a very satisfying end to the story where pretty much everything came together at the end of it. But damn, the stakes were high.

🏆 Fae King Arthur retelling
🏆 Fated mates
🏆 Gods and legends
🏆 High stakes quest
🏆 Found family
🏆 Multiple POV (but Morgan is the main POV)

All the questions I had after the previous books? Pretty sure all of them got answered (as well as new questions got added as the story progressed 👀) but I think the main plot line got wrapped up nicely. I have the feeling that if you'd go back and reread the series, you'll find a bunch of easter eggs and hints throughout them that point to the conclusion of it all.

This book was full of battle, powers, intrigued & a very complicated family. The story has quite some dark themes and the characters really go through it. We lose some really special characters which made me quite tense and on edge (because who could be next?!); it definitely wasn't a case of "the main character and all her friends and family live happily ever after".

The characters going on a quest/journey is a big yes for me and I loved that we got to go along with them, even if some terrible things happened along the way. We also get some great 🌶️ spice scenes yet again (even if the timing & location of them is a bit questionable at best 😂) although I would've liked to see the relationship a bit less focused on the lust between the two. But then again, there probably isn't much time for anything else besides the fighting, dying and shocking revelations. Especially the last 50-100 pages made me go "ooooh shit 😱" a lot.

Throughout all the books I really liked Morgan and her character development - she was sometimes frustrating, irrational, and too self-sacrificial, but I just feel like this made her more believable. I'll miss her, Draven and our grumpy Ursidaur the most.

I greatly enjoyed this dark, fantasy King Arthur retelling and I'm eager for more. The teaser that was included at the end of the book, for the next novel made me very intrigued so I can't wait to read that when it comes out. 👀

I was hooked on these books from book one! I am so sad that this story has ended but every bit of it was enjoyed. I feel in love with the characters and the story line. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read these books.

I don’t have enough good things to say about this entire series. A loose Arthurian retelling, but you know, if Camelot had fae. And shadow welders. And a badass heroine. And gods. And and and.. urgh. It’s so good.

Briar was new to me before I started this series but I know I’ll be binge reading everything going forward. She has crafted a captivating world that I never want to leave.

Thank you to NetGalley, Starwater Press and Briar Boleyn for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh, my heart.

I’m really sad that this series has ended. This book was a lot darker than the previous ones and I cried my eyes out.

Hawl is still my fav. They are just amazing. Moth flapjacks anyone?

I loved Morgan all the way through this. Until this book. She started keeping secrets from Draven and then was just completely selfish with his grief.

There was one death which absolutely broke me and I think with how much this character had been a part of the books, he deserved more. Although, there was a slight redemption at the end but I would have liked Morgan to visit the widow to show respect. It just felt all she could think about was her own grief and not those of the others. Especially after all this character had done for her.

Compared to the previous 3 books, I did feel that some of this was rushed and the conclusion could well have been an extra books worth. We lost quite a bit of detail due to the plot rushing along so quickly. I am still confused about some of the things that happened.

That being said, it was a great read and I have loved this series. Looking forward to seeing what else Briar comes up with!

Of courseeeeeeee my newest favorite series has come to an end in the most delicious way ever. I am sooooo sad to say goodbye to my sweet fierce Draven but I love this story and his love for our girl. 10/10. Amazing. Can’t wait to re-read the whole series again asap!

Thanks to Netgalley and the author for an ARC of this book, the final in the four-part “Blood of Fae” series. I was greatly looking forward to this one, and I was not disappointed (except that it had to end). The only problem was, the last book was so many read-books-ago (a phrase I’ve decided to use to indicate how very many books I’ve read since the last installment) that I had to go back and read book three, “Empress of Fae,” again.

I’m not complaining about the need to read the previous book again; it was just as good the second time. But it certainly did slow things down. One of these days, I’ll need to start keeping logs of plotlines in the series I read so I can jump back in without needing extensive review. For some reason, authors are reluctant to provide summaries of important points from previous books. Am I really the only one who has this issue? But I digress…

The important thing is, this book was incredible. It’s a non-stop, heart-pounding epic saga that had me on the edge of my seat. Even knowing the “good guys” always win (at least, in fiction) couldn’t prevent the anxiety I felt each time something went wrong. And Boleyn is not shy about killing off characters, so don’t comfort yourself by thinking she won’t.

She borrows heavily from Tolkein so there are some descriptions that will automatically bring to mind scenes from the “Lord of the Rings” movie series. Whether intentional or not, I saw Moria when the characters entered and traversed the mountain, which was aptly named, “Black Mountain.” She also referred to the “Mountains of Mist.” I enjoy when modern artists borrow from classical ones as a nod to their genius. In fact, some modern references are so strong in my mind, I can’t help but think of Led Zeppelin when I hear Misty Mountains—even before I think of Tolkien.

The plot is unexpected. Like Frodo, Morgan intends to destroy the objects of power to avoid them falling into the wrong hands. But unlike Frodo, Morgan is never told how she must do it, nor is she told how important she really is. Sure, we have flashes of recognition about her significance; the hints are there. But there is never really clarity until the end and then… Wow! I did not see that coming. At all. It’s a full-circle, completely fulfilling ending that will answer all of your questions, and necessitate picking your jaw up off of the floor.

The book is so action-packed, I barely had time to reflect on the language used. It should go without saying by this point, Boleyn is a skilled writer with a poetic flare for her prose. It wasn’t until close to the end that one particular description jumped out at me. “Like the maidservant, his limbs were unnaturally elongated and his fingers long and sinewy with muscle, like the hands one might imagine in a nightmare clambering out of a grave.” Maybe it was the one moment I was able to take a breath between action scenes. Whatever the case, it gave me the creeps. And it really does a great job of summing up the most horrifying parts of this book.
Imagine reading “The Lord of the Rings,” but the main characters are two incredibly hot, sexy characters who can’t keep their hands off of one another. If that appeals to you, this series is a must-read.

I would like to thank the author and Netgalley for the arc and here is my honest non-biased review of the Knight of the Goddess. I want to start of by saying I absolutely adore this series and have been obsessed with the world and the characters. Unfortunately think I set myself up excepting a different type of ending to the series then what it actually ended up being and the final book fell a little flat for me.

How the beginning of the series started and what happened in the final book feels like two completely different stories. I like great twists in any series but this one threw me for a loop and I have so many questions that never got answered.
Three of the characters are reincarnated from previous lives, I would love a back ground story of that life, like how did Morgan and Draven get together when he was mated with someone else and how did that love transfer from one life to the next?? just more detail on the how and why. It was briefly touched on but not enough and I feel their is a whole other story to be told.
Medra is an important character in the story and she ends up playing one the most important parts in the entire book but her character was developed to not be liked, so her sacrifice at the end of the book lacked emotion from the readers POV.
I liked how the story was rounded off. Morgan and Draven have my heart but like I mentioned above I would love to see their past life written as a prequel to help understand the direction the author took with this final book in the series.
The Court of Claws is by far my favourite book of the series.

!!SPOILERS!!

What a fantastic series this was. It’s hard to put into words how much I loved this series, and knight of the goddess did not disappoint!
It was kind of implied how the series would end, so the ending for me was somewhat anti-climactic, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Medra’s character was great, I’m glad she got to find peace. I just wish we had seen a little more of her life and how she grew up so quickly.
I also LOVE how it was revealed that Morgan is a goddess, but love even more how she rejected that notion and the notion of gods in general. Badass queen!!
Morgan & Draven forever 🩷

Thank you very much for my ARC! I will miss this series a lot :(

Briar has once again wrote an amazing book!!

i jumped into this book as soon as i finished book 3 (im late to the party for the first 3 but was very lucky to get them all at once) so could read the one after the other! my week has well and truly been taken over by the world the Briar has built! This is the final installment of the fae series and it is a very bittersweet moment!

i was so excited to get the answers that were left unwritten but knowing that it was drawing to a close really felt very heavy.

i love this series and i really think you should give it a true chance!

this is filled with slow burn bonded mates, a strong FMC and a fiercely protective MMC. There is magic, mystical creatures, romance and betrayal! this is a must read if you love dark fantasy romance! this will leave you screaming at the twists and turns that will keep you hooked!!! i am speechless! Briar well and truly has wrote an 4 for 4 amazing series!! really amazing!!

That was a really great way to end this series.
I felt sorry though for Morgan and Draven because there was a lot of loss and sadness in this book. There was a lot of action too, and I was constantly really focused on this story. The writing was very detailed like in the other books of this series. So there was even the smallest details present which I really loved. This time all open questions and everything came together and was a great read. I really recommend this series because the character development, thr magical creatures, powers and action scenes are amazing.

The Knight of the Goddess concluded the Blood of a Fae series. Most loose ends were tied up pretty well, but this was probably my least favourite part of the series as I found the battle with Morgan's father a bit underwhelming and less compelling than earlier parts in the series when we followed Morgan as she broke free of Arthur and developed her relationship with Draven. Unlike in earlier volumes, I also found some of the sex scenes a bit extraneous in this one; they really didn't add as much as they had before to the development of the characters and/or story. Nonetheless, I am still going to give this book 3.5 stars as the series as a whole was an enjoyable fantasy romance and it was good to see how it all ended.

I unfortunately did not enjoy book 4… I am disappointed to say the least. The dialogue seemed to become more modern then it had been in the previous books and the battles scenes became too confusing.

This just felt rushed and it leaves me with more questions than answers.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC
