Rhen has, understandably, shut down as Lilith scares the bejeezus out of him, and he worries that any move to defend against Syhl Shallow brings her one step closer to his throne. As a magic-bearer and the heir to the throne they all want to invade, Grey is also facing popularity issues amongst Syhl Shallow’s soldiers. So the tone when this book begins is.dreary, to say the least.Įveryone is on edge and war is looming: Lia Mara is trying to be a kinder, gentler queen than her mother and it seems her subjects really only appreciate a stern hand. Lilith was also revealed to be alive and still manipulating Rhen unbeknownst to everyone. I do appreciate how the bottom of the Y in Deadly looks like a sword.Īt the end of A Heart So Fierce and Broken, we left our brothers at extreme odds, with Prince Grey issuing a 60-day warning to Prince Rhen that if he did not capitulate, Grey and Queen Lia Mara would be invading Emberfall with Syhl Shallow’s armies. That said, it lacks some extra background detail that makes it kind of ho-hum. I mean, I’d be annoyed if the cover wasn’t thematically similar to the others, so this look isn’t a shock. BOOK REPORT for A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers #3) by Brigid KemmererĬareful, Sweetie: spoilers! This is the final book in the Cursebreakers trilogy, so if you haven’t read the first one or the second one, you should probably hop back in the TARDIS and go curl up in the library by the pool with the first book before continuing.
