I am always floored while reading Nisha J Tuli’s books. Her Nightfire Quartet might be my favorite! I love everything about Zarya and her story! And boy did this book put us through it! And that ending!!! I can’t wait for the next book!
Thank you to netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advance copy to read and review.
I really loved the previous two books in this series, so I was eagerly awaiting book three.
I really enjoy the magic and world building that Nisha creates in her writing. It is so vivid and colourful.
It was great to be back with Zarya and watch her thrive as she comes into her magic and strives to be even more independent.
Great third installment.
Argh .. I wanted to love it , I really , really wanted to love this book .. unfortunately I think my journey in this world came to an end with it .. in this case it’s really a me-problem ..
it’s not a bad book , it’s beautiful, colorful with nice world building.. but the plot didn’t grab my interest and because it’s a major part of the beginning, I ended up disengaging from the entire story , even the romance wasn’t strong enough to keep me interested..
I rounded up to 3 stars because I still think it deserves it , and could find its readers.
A great continuation to the series!
The world building of this series is so great: from the tree/queen to the magic and the bonding aspect.. and I loved the author’s humor in the first pages, it got me cackling!!!
Zarya is much more independent in this book, working towards a goal and she had much growth in this book. Rabin too is coming to terms with his feelings and emotions, their relationship coming out stronger.
I loved how Zarya learned a lot more about her magic and how to use it instead of being afraid of it.
I really can’t wait for the final book to come out!!
Thank You Second Sky and NetGalley for this ARC!!!
This is book three of the Nightfire Quartet. It’s a steamy fast-paced, slow burn fantasy romance. Amazing world building that is detailed and imaginable. Fascinating characters that are well developed and diverse. Twists and unexpected turns keep you reading. The storyline is fast-paced and very well written, filled with magic, danger, death, politics, intrigue, and subterfuge. The plot thickens, the suspense builds, and the passion erupts! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story.
I have loved every book in this series, and Storm of Ink and Blood is no exception. I believe each book in the series is better than the previous one. There’s so much growth in Zarya from the first book to the end of Storm of Ink and Blood. I loved watching her come into her own and decide what role she would play to establish the future she hopes to see. That is the central part of this book’s conflict and I really appreciated how Tuli approached it. It was intense, inspiring, at times gut wrenching and heart breaking, but such a worthy cause to stand up and fight for. We also get to visit a new setting in Storm of Ink and Blood giving us new world building from Tuli. Tuli’s world building is lush, descriptive, and everything you could want to envision yourself walking the streets alongside the characters. The relationships are a central part of this story and I love seeing them continue to evolve. While I love the dynamic between Zarya and Rabin, I stand by the best relationship is the friendship that evolved between Zarya and Yasen. The way they support each other is so special. I did enjoy how Tuli made Rabin work for Zarya’s affection after the events of book two. I combo read this between the ebook and audiobook. I loved them both and think readers will be happy either way. For the narration, I love how Shiromi Arserio transported readers to the world Tuli established. Arserio added so much energy and emotion to the narration making it such an enjoyable experience. Overall, this book is special and a must read series.
This book may have been the best so far out of the series. It provided even more necessary world building and character development. I absolutely adore Zarya and her journey. Nishas writing is so beautiful and creates this gorgeous fantasy world that I wish I could be apart of.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
The third instalment of this series didn't pull any punches. We had plenty of action, a little subterfuge and some pretty hairy moments for FMC Zarya - but of course it all came through in the end. Without any spoilers: lots of questions are answered, but as we're not in the final stretch yet there's still plenty left to find out in the next book. Oh, and there's plenty of spice for those who love it, a pay out after some slow burn pining. If you're not a huge fan, they're easy scenes to skim over!
I was so lucky to be chosen to receive an ARC through #NetGalley. #StormofInkandBlood is my favorite book of the series so far! It has everything a romantasy book needs, romance, betrayal, suspense, amazing side characters and SPICE. I cannot wait to see what is in store for Zarya and Rabin next!!!
Storm of Ink and Blood is the third book in the Nightfire Quartet. It follows Zarya as she learns more about herself, her magic and the prophecy her mother left with her.
This was a brilliant instalment. The world building was beautifully done, and dives deeper into the law and history of the lands. The story writing is bright and vibrant, giving a real sense of the world. The back and fourth between Zarya and Rabin was really well done, and the spice was impeccable!
The plot was great and I really enjoyed the way it ebbed and flowed. Yasen was by far my favourite, and has been throughout. His and Zarya's friendship is really well done, showing soft and vulnerable moments, and their fierceness for each other's well being.
Overall this book was amazing and I highly recommend it!
Solid sequel - Can't wait for the last book
3.5 stars
There were some predictable turns but it was still pretty good
I would quite literally read anything Tuli writes!
This may be my favorite book read so far this year!
Storm of Ink and Blood is fast paced with amazing character development and romance that has me my the throat, I'm just OBSESSED.
This is the most unique fantasy, I just can't get enough!!!
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Storm of Ink and Blood in exchange for my honest review.
Nisha Tuli is one of my auto-buy authors and she delivered yet another great one with this third installment in the Nightfire Quartet.
I will say I was slightly disappointed to be leaving behind the worlds and many of the characters from books one and two but the intrigue and world building in book 3 was great. It was also great to see more of Rabin and Zarya’s story and relationship here. I’m excited to see how the story concludes in book 4!
I have been waiting patiently for this book since I read the second one and omg, it was so worth the wait.
I could both put this down, it's so exciting and really keeps you hooked until the very end.
I loved the different POVs and feel like this added an extra something special to this book.
I'm devastated that it's over and wish I could read it for the first time all over again!
Huge thanks to Second Sky and NetGalley for providing me with this arc.
OUTSTANDING!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Rising Phoenix rebellion has risen in the third book of the Nightfire Quartet series and is truly phenomenal and my favourite book of the series. The SPICE was SIZZLING HOT!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥🌶️🌶️
I highly recommend for all readers of fantasy, immersive epic world building and enemies-to-lovers romance books.
"She will be the one to free them all"
"I'm your paramadhar and you are my masatara"
"Because you and I are destined"
Thank you to the author Nisha J. Tuli, publisher Second Sky and NetGalley for sending me the eARC book to read and I am delighted to provide my thoughts and unbiased review. Make yourself a delicious cup of chai because you will not be able to put this book down.
The story continues with Zarya, the main female protagonist joining the Rising Phoenix rebellion in Ishaan to free the enslaved Vanshaj people after seeing the vision and prophecy in her mother's necklace. I really liked the unique dark magic system, immersive, descriptive, vivid world building, fast pace and compelling storyline/plot of the rebellion, enduring love and intense chemistry scenes between Zarya and Rabin and Rabin wanting forgiveness to win Zarya's heart again, the addition of Rabin's POV in this book, including the scenes of Rabin shapeshifting into a dragon.
This book has a perfect balance of an engaging, compelling story, passion, spice, fantastic character development and has everything I want from a fantasy romance. The author has a beautiful way of writing descriptive, metaphorical, immersive, vivid worlds/realms inspired by Indian and South Asian mythology and culture. Thiss book has:
✨ Rebellion Action & Adventure
✨ Dark Magic
✨ Dragon Shifter
✨ Found Family
✨ Spicy enemies-to-lovers
✨Touch her and die
I was obsessed with this third book in the Nightfire Quartet series and was completely hooked by the story/plot from the beginning and could not put this book down. I'm so excited for the fourth book and can't wait to continue with Zarya's story.
Beautiful, ruthless, exciting addictive story!!
I loved this book. As soon as I turned the page and discovered this book has chapters in Rabin’s POV I squealed! There is nothing I love more then getting to see the story from all sides.
Thank you Nisha J Tuli and her Publishing team for allowing to read this ARC.
Sometimes in a series you have to build up to the massive battle that’s going to take place in the final book. And that is what this book is doing. I love that Z is discovering more about her powers, Rabin is the perfect “I will burn down the world for you” guy and Yas is the best friend that everyone wishes they had. Nisha knows how to write books with tension and romance while still producing an action filled plot. Storm of Ink and Blood is such a fine balance of all the things. I look forward to the next book!
Storm of Ink and Blood - Nisha J Tuli.
This is the 3rd book in @nishajtwrites Nightfire Quartet series and I have been (not so patiently) waiting for this since the moment I finished book 2.
Life is looking a bit different for Zarya and Yaseen. They're in a new city fighting with a rebel organisation to free a race of people who have been magically enslaved and Zarya might just be the key to freeing them but that all depends on whether or not she can handle being in the same room as Rabin (we all know how the last booked ended). Anyway, I loved it, of course. It was fast paced, there were some great new characters. The story kept me fully engaged and I can't wait to see where the next book goes.

Zarya and Yasen are off in her family's kingdom and have managed to get involved with a group of rebels. She learns more ways that her powers can be of use. Rabiv goes on a very necessary apology tour, and they figure out more about their relationship. The drama hits near the end, and things are set up further for the final installment, which will involve both sides of her family and her role in the prophecy.
This series has gotten increasingly better with each installment. Book 3 adds a Rabiv POV. I'm always a fan of a dual POV; characters can not know what other's motives are, but I certainly like to. I think this was a good call after the ending of book 2 made Zarya feel like he had betrayed her. We needed proof that he was on the up and up. I'll be waiting for book 4!
Thanks to Nisha, Second Sky, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
Ugh, I just knew Rabin was going to have to grovel to get back on Zarya’s good side & I ate it up!! I loved watching Zarya find herself & become stronger. Do not get me started on Yasen, I love him pls protect him at all costs! The plot moved at a great pace & had me constantly itching to read more. I love this series with my whole heart! 🫶🏻
