So much happens in this book! Wow what a wild ride this series has been. I have loved it all. I think books 1 and 2 were my favs but overall a 5 star series.

Thank you to Net Galley and Starwater press for the opportunity to read this book.

An interesting end to a decent romantasy series. I don't feel like this final book lived up to the three previous and it felt like it needed more. More development, less action packed maybe?
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this book in exchange for my honest option.

Thank you Netgalley & Starwater Press for the ARC of the final book in the retelling of Camelot.

I wasn't too sure what to anticipate of the last book as I found the second instalment somewhat of a lag to get through, but was pleasantly surprised that the third instalment was back to Book One in pace and development, so I definitely suggest anyone who feels similar with book two to not give up and read the final instalment, because you will not be disappointed by the plot or overall character growth...

Couldn't get into this one. I thought that since books 2 & 3 had such major writing improvements and growth, that book 4 would be the same.

This was a lot of fluff, and then when something plot wise happened it was brushed over. Just wasn't really feeling this one.

Thank you NetGalley and Starwater Press Publishing for my DRC.

I can’t believe this series is over! It was a fun journey
This book might be my least favorite but still I loved it and I loved the ending. I think I will be adding a new favorite author to my list.

Thanks again NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this series

The final book in the Blood of a Fae series delivers an epic and emotional journey, centering on Morgan Le Fay and Draven as they face an ancient evil threatening Camelot. Their quest to destroy three powerful artifacts—the grail, the sword, and the spear—is filled with magic, romance, and high-stakes adventure. While the story is compelling and the relationship between the main characters remains strong, this installment feels slightly less impactful than the previous books, with some moments lacking depth. Overall, it's a satisfying and fitting conclusion to the series, earning 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! I was so glad I got to finish the series! This book was my least favorite of the series, but it focused more on the fighting and resulting climax of the impending war more than the character relationships which have been my favorite. Overall a satisfying ending to the series.

The start was pretty slow. Lots of court politics and whatnot right off the bat. Generally speaking, that is personally my least favorite part of stories, so to start out with so much was tough to get through. I also wasn’t sure about the introduction of a baby that Drayven is like obsessed with - though that came back to play way at the end, so I get it.

Around 25% in the action started to pick up, but in a war and battles way (another of my least favorite fantasy tropes in series - can’t I have a full fantasy book without an entire war needing to take place?)

I actually found Medra's chapters to be the most interesting. Morgan and crew spend a lot of time getting into battle after battle and fighting her siblings. I definitely just prefer the will they won't they tension between MCs and not the battle/war tension.

I really enjoyed the last 20% again when it was Morgan and Drayven alone in the Black Mountain. I understand that some time needed to pass to age Medra, but honestly everything else that happened in the beginning of the book did not do much to drive the plot. So much happened and was sort of explained in the final 20% that it easily could have been stretched out and a lot of the early stuff gone. I didn't care about the love story of Lancelet and Guinevere, or the random battles protecting a bunch of people we didn't know or care for. I get building character (Morgan is a just, kind person who takes care of those “beneath” her), but I feel like we already knew that.

If you are someone who loves a good fight sequence, you'd probably enjoy this, I just know that battles and war planning are my least favorite part of fantasy series and so this wasn't set up to be that successful for me.

⭐⭐⭐

Briar just continues to give in her series! I enjoyed the journey and was excited through each twist and turn! Thank you for creating a wonderful world to get lost in

One hell of an ending for these amazing characters! The heartbreak! The twists! It was perfect!

With all the different characters involved in this story, I was worried that one ends wouldn't get tied up nicely, but it all came together in the end. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs. They added a lot of depth to the characters and made it that much more heart wrenching. The spice level of this book was perfect for me- enough to feel like a spicy book but not at all overtaking the plot.

Highly recommend this entire series to anyone who loves fae, retellings, found family, and epic fantasy romance. I think readers of Carissa Broadbent and SJM would enjoy this!

Book Review: Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn

The Blood of a Fae series stands out as a remarkable reimagining of Arthurian legend, and its final installment, *Knight of the Goddess*, is a thrilling conclusion that lives up to its predecessors. While prior familiarity with the Arthurian tales may enrich the experience, it is not a prerequisite for enjoying this dark fae fantasy romance. With its captivating blend of shadow wielders, magical creatures, and a vibrant found family, this series offers an adventure that has something for everyone.

In *Knight of the Goddess*, the emotional stakes reach new heights as Morgan and Draven confront their greatest challenges yet: not only must they face the formidable Gorlois le Fay, Morgan’s father, but they also embark on an epic quest to destroy dangerous artifacts that threaten their world. This thrilling journey is filled with heart-wrenching moments and intense revelations that kept me eagerly turning the pages. My emotions were a whirlwind as I experienced joy, sorrow, excitement, and fear for the characters I had come to love over the series.

The storytelling shines through a diverse range of perspectives. The reader gets intimate glimpses into the thoughts and struggles of not only Morgan and Draven but also other key characters, adding depth to the narrative and enhancing the reader's emotional investment. Their found family dynamic is beautifully portrayed, illustrating the strength of their bonds and highlighting moments of connection and reconciliation that add to the emotional weight of the story.

The romance between Morgan and Draven remains a central pillar of the series, and their steadfast love is illustrated amid turmoil and adventure. The inclusion of characters like Nightclaw, Sunstrike, and the complex Ursidaur enriches the narrative and underscores the importance of loyalty and friendship, both among fae and humans alike.

What truly sets *Knight of the Goddess* apart are the stunning twists and revelations that unfold throughout the story. Just when you think you have it all figured out, the plot takes unexpected turns, revealing hidden identities and truths that will leave you shocked and exhilarated.

In summary, *Knight of the Goddess* is a fitting conclusion to the Blood of a Fae series, filled with adventure, romance, and powerful revelations. If you're ready for a tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for a better world, this book will surely leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended for fans of dark fantasy and anyone who enjoys a masterful retelling steeped in magic and intrigue.

I'm so sad this story is over but the end was so satisfying. This was an amazing series and will probably re read it all over again once I come to terms with it being over. The romance had me giggling and kicking my feet. It felt like this was such a well planned ending and it was so fulfilling. I cannot wait for what you do next but this series will have a special place for me

This is the fourth and final installment of the Blood of Fae series, which is an Arthurian retelling with a Fae twist. At this point, most of the Arthurian retelling is behind us and we are mostly in the dark fantasy portion.

The characters have gone through so much development and growth throughly the previous books, but this book is where the entire cast of characters truly shine. We see the strengths and faults of each character as they face stressful situations. Morgan definitely went though the most change throughout the series all while staying true to herself. We get introduced to more of her family with quite a few surprises along the way. In the end, she's the same Morgan we came to love in the first book, just stronger and wiser. Briar Boleyn did a fantastic job with world building. I truly felt like I was on the journey with the characters as they traveled into Rheged.

If Briar Boleyn continues forward with any of the characters, I would love to see a spin-off tale focusing on Guinevere and Lancelet. We are left with a few unanswered questions regarding their story and I would love to see how the go forward in the future.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series. It was bittersweet to finish this book knowing it concludes the series, but I'm grateful for the experience of reading this story and living through Draven and Morgan.

I would highly recommend this series for anyone that are fans of SJM, Arthurian retellings, fantasy with a side of spice, or dark fantasy.

A huge thank you to Netgally, Briar Boleyn, and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read the ARCs to this series.

Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn is a spellbinding conclusion to the Blood of a Fae series that left me both thrilled and emotional. The journey of Morgan le Fay and Draven reaches its peak in this final installment, as they face their greatest challenges yet.
The world building, plot, and character development are outstanding, delivering all the emotions and unexpected twists that kept me hooked!Knight of the Goddess is a beautifully crafted tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption.Overall though, I really enjoyed this series, and I had a great time reading it. It provided a much-needed escape for me, and I actually think this series is what helped me out of my reading slump.

This was my favourite of the 4 books as the pacing felt better for me, we also don’t have so much miscommunication anymore and everyone is a team again. The authors descriptions of places and things was good and helped me picture their journey and how the landscape changes throughout on their way into Rheged.

What I liked: I liked the reveal about the goddesses and finding out who/what they were, from 85% in was where everything got really interesting. I also liked meeting some of Morgan’s other brothers and sisters and finding about their powers, whilst seeing Morgan become the badass I wanted her to be.

What I didn’t like so much: there are some mysteries left unexplained, like Gienevere’s shielding and why she was drained, that I’d have liked to learn more about. The side characters are also a bit lost in this book - it felt like we focused more on Hawl and his cooking whereas I wanted more chapters with Crescent and Medra than we get. The action at the very end felt a little lacking and short, I’d have liked less focus on the journey within the black mountain and more time in the cloud palace. Medra’s story felt anticlimactic as we only learn so can turn people to ash with a look and suddenly she just jumps on Gorlois and goes boom? A little underwhelming of an ending.

Overall a good conclusion to the series, the reveals at the end link back to Easter eggs left in the previous 3 books and it feels mostly rounded out. Some parts of the story were a little lacking or long for me so I did lose interest in some bits. I feel like it could have been a trilogy and then I’d have been more engaged as it felt like there was a lot of “middle section” in each of the books. Another 3.5⭐️ rounded up to 4 for NetGalley and Goodreads.

Knight of the Goddess by Briar Boleyn is a spellbinding conclusion to the Blood of a Fae series that left me both thrilled and emotional. The journey of Morgan le Fay and Draven reaches its peak in this final installment, as they face their greatest challenges yet.

The story picks up with Morgan and Draven on a desperate mission to stop the dark fae Morgana from unleashing an ancient evil that threatens to destroy their world. Their journey is fraught with danger, betrayal, and heart-wrenching choices. I was particularly captivated by the depth of Morgan’s character as she grapples with her dual nature, torn between her human heart and fae heritage.

One of the most gripping moments is when Morgan is forced to confront her past and the betrayal by her own sister, Morgana. This confrontation is intense and emotionally charged, as Morgan must choose between saving her sister or stopping her to save the world. The stakes feel incredibly high, and the tension is palpable.

Draven, ever the loyal and fierce warrior, stands by Morgan’s side through it all. His unwavering support and love for Morgan add a deeply romantic element to the story. Their relationship is tested to the limit, especially when Draven is mortally wounded in a battle against Morgana’s forces. Morgan’s desperate attempts to save him using her fae magic is a powerful scene that highlights their bond.

The climactic battle against Morgana is both epic and heartbreaking. Morgan’s ultimate decision to sacrifice her own life to bind the ancient evil and save the world is a poignant and heroic moment. The scene where she bids farewell to Draven, entrusting him with the future of their people, brought tears to my eyes.

The ending is bittersweet, with Draven mourning the loss of Morgan but also determined to honor her legacy. The epilogue hints at a future where Draven and their allies rebuild their world, inspired by Morgan’s sacrifice and strength.

Knight of the Goddess is a beautifully crafted tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Briar Boleyn delivers a satisfying conclusion that ties up the series' loose ends while leaving a lasting impact. This book is a must-read for fans of dark fantasy and romance, offering a perfect blend of magic, danger, and heartfelt emotion. If you’ve followed the Blood of a Fae series, this final installment will stay with you long after the last page.

Sadly for me, this is the weakest book of the series.

I didn't feel connected to any of the characters, even the ones we lost! Some of the decisions made did not make sense and it was a bit of a boring read with an underwhelming ending. There were a few threads that were never closed, some things that seemed important in the previous books never really came to anything and it just felt off. Which is a shame because I did enjoy the first two books.

There is definitely potential for other readers to absolutely adore this series, however, it's not one for me.

This was such a good series! I'm actually genuinely sad to be finished.

I don't want to say too much for fear of giving anything away, so I'll just say that if you're craving more romantasy in your life, you NEED to check out this series. The perfect blend of Arthurian legend & fae, this series has it all--spice, politics, magic, legends, friends, family, found family, snark, drama, adventure...you get the idea.

I will say that even though I think this book was the most moving and heartfelt of the series, it was probably my least favorite. I enjoyed seeing how the series ended, and Briar Boleyn's imagination clearly knows no bounds, but I wish she had explained a little more about the whole gods/goddesses thing with Morgan and her father. I felt like I was mostly grasping it, but I'll admit I had trouble wrapping my head around it.

Overall though, I really enjoyed this series, and I had a great time reading it. It provided a much-needed escape for me, and I actually think this series is what helped me out of my reading slump. I loved this series so much that I'm hoping to buy physical copies for my shelves so that I can dive back into this world whenever I'm in the mood. I cannot recommend this series enough for romantasy fans!

The story follows the journey of a brave knight who is sworn to protect a powerful goddess, navigating the complexities of duty, loyalty, and forbidden love. Boleyn's writing is rich and descriptive, bringing the fantastical setting to life with vivid imagery and intricate world-building. The characters are well-developed, each with their own motivations and secrets, making for a gripping and unpredictable narrative. The blend of action, political intrigue, and emotional depth ensures that "Knight of the Goddess" is a compelling read for fans of epic fantasy and romantic adventures.

Thank you to NetGalley, Starwater Press, and Briar Boleyn for an eARC of this book.

This was a great finale to this series. It had a little bit of everything - battles, romance, quests, and some great twists at the end! This world was complex without being overwhelming and I enjoyed this series a whole. Definitely would recommend for anyone who enjoys the romantasy genre.
