Realm United by Katie Keridan was book 3 of a trilogy. I enjoyed the entire series. I liked the world building, cyphers and the other interesting side characters. There was romance and adventures that drove me to continue. I just wish it had been more of an adult written book.
The author has talent and writes well. I will be looking out for her future books.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The first two books in this trilogy wrecked me, and I was silly to think the third would be no different. Everything picks up right where Blood Divided left off, and it took myself a moment to return to that headspace. The second book ends on a fairly intense note, and to see how that plays out right away was great.

I had no doubt that Kyra and Sebastian, it is never clear how they will get there. Challenges always arise, and at about the 75% mark, I actually was worried they wouldn’t achieve their goals. They’d run into so many obstacles that the realms seemed to be actively working against them, and I wasn’t going to be satisfied if they hadn’t reunited them. The way there was filled with ruined plans, but it was worth it.

The character growth, particularly for Kyra, was what made the story for me in this final installment. Blood Divided saw Sebastian come to terms with letting people in, and Realm United saw Kyra realize that she can both maintain her morals while doing what’s best for the greater good. She struggles with that at times, often seeing only one way out to ensure the safety of the many, even if it is at the destruction of one, and I’m glad she was able to rationalize both lines of thought. I think either would’ve been admiral ways for her to walk, but I’m happy that she realized which was best for her and the many.

It would be wrong of me not to mention Batty. I was warned that he would only continue to have a major impact on the story, and I never could’ve guessed how that would play out. All hail Batty, my favorite cypher.

As the third and final book in the Felserpent Chronicles series, I had been looking forward to this book all year since I had read ARCs of the other two books the previous two autumns. I was not disappointed! Aside from the skillful writing and unforgettable world building, the story picked right up from where it left off in book two, and the author kept the story strong through to the very end.

Sebastian and Kyra return to stop Tallus and finally reunite the realms. However, the stakes are high as they discover the sacrifices they have to make to succeed – including the possibility of severing their special bond that has tied their shades together for centuries.

I love the relationship between Sebastian and Kyra and how much they have grown over the course of the series. Unlike the last book where the couple spends way too much time apart, they are thankfully together for a majority of this book. Because they’re together more and their bond continues to strengthen, the shy awkwardness between them seems to disappear as they explore their deepening relationship together. I must give the author a well-earned shout-out for keeping the more intimate love scene between the pair just detailed enough to be appropriate for teens and young adults. Thank you!

My only small complaint about this book was the rushed climax and resolution with Tallus. Without giving too much away, let’s just say I was bummed that it went the way it did after so much build-up throughout the story. Aside from that, I was fully satisfied with everything else about this book and how the trilogy ended.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any teen, young adult, or adult reader who likes a great sci-fi / romantasy story that’s well written, believable, action-packed, and a happily ever after ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and SparkPress for the opportunity to read an advanced reader's copy of this book for an honest review.

Realm United is the third book and fantastic conclusion to The Felserpent Chronicles. The characters and world building are great as well as the tension that builds throughout the story as you travel along with Kyra and Sebastian. Will they be able to reunite the divided realms? Grab this book to find out!

Good golly, did I love this story's conclusion.
If nothing else, Katie's ability to think up a unique story, in a colorful world with beatiful creatures is enough. I loved the creatures, the magic and of course our FMC and MMC.
For me, I think the style of writting proved to be a little predictable and honestly, all I really wanted, was more (which isn't a bad thing). I had to keep reminding myself that this story is YA, but kept thinking how much more this world could have been. If the stakes were higher, the details more juicy and the relationship building more passionate, this would have been an absolute slam dunk for my style of romantasy. That said, this is a lovely story for our YA readers. Refreshing, postive, extremely inclusive, with minor triggers, so easily enjoyable for many.
Adore the bounce back and forth between perspectives and the communication between their animal companions. Speaking of animals/beasts, that is by far my FAVORITE part. Give me ALL the witty, loyal animals and you've got me sold.
All in all, I would have rated this higher for myself if it had probably been written for an adult audience, but as for an over all experience/book for YA, honestly, it's really so enjoyable.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)

4.5 stars. Bummed this is over but I thought this was a good ending to the series. The pacing was good and the end hit me in the feels a few times.

I couldn’t put this book down. The characters and story are fantastic. I really enjoyed reading this book. I know there’s a book one so I need to get my hands on it. Highly recommend

I was hooked from Book One and avidly followed the author! She did not disappoint in her latest installment!

Definitely pick it up!
