Publisher's summary

The genius and the sunshine girl. As children, we fought bitterly and often, bickering every chance we got. But then we grew up. Then we came back.

Delphine Dansey carries her heart on the outside of her body; she's looking for love and chasing dreams. She's spoiled and selfish, the kind of beautiful that's made for money and fame. But somehow she's ended up in my keeping: a pretty submissive I can't seem to resist, a lover who obsesses and tempts me.

I thought I'd locked my heart away a long time ago, along with all my other weaknesses. But some doors won't stay closed, no matter how hard I fight to keep them shut. She unravels me, just like our friends are unraveling, just like Thornchapel itself is unraveling.

All year long, we've been sowing lust and jealousy and pain, heedless of the consequences. But a harvest is inevitable, and so now we must reap our sorrows.

And our sighs.

Harvest of Sighs is the third book in the Thornchapel quartet.

In love…

I am in love with the Thornchapel series and this book was such an add. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Every moment I could listen to it even for a minute or two I went head first! Yeah so theres some things that people don’t do or they are not okay. But this is a book, its a fantasy book. It’s supposed to entertain our minds. I think this story is beautiful and I can’t wait to read the next one, but I also don’t want it to end! I think that Sierra Simone is a fantastic writer and I love how free she lets her mind be.

My heart aches for this series

Uggh. So much angst. This series is nothing that I thought it would be. It’s so much better. Superb writing, complex and lovable characters, angst, love, jealousy, spicy (hooray).
If I had 5 friends and we all lived the life of these characters I would feel very lucky. I know there are issues but the love they have for each other knows no bounds. Plus how they share can be down right erotic and it looks good on them.
The POV from Saint Sebastian. Oh my. He pours his soul out and it is so eloquent and breaks my heart.
I loved the new narrator for Rebecca. It just made her stand out so much more. But Rebecca is fighting some demons and she needs to get her head out of her ass. I love her so much and that character could seriously make me change teams.
The dynamics of Saint Sebastian and Auden really changed and I just want them to be together. A tragic love story.
They all have demons to face and they finally learn more about their parents and the rituals of Thornchapel.
Sierra Simone is a master storyteller.
She’s a f*cking genius.

Sierra Simone always delivers

If possible this installment was more heartbreaking than the last. I loved that we got more background in the world and everything has come to a crescendo in preparation for the final book. I have no idea how this is going to end well but I cannot wait to go on the journey.

Thank god she changed narrators

I’m so glad we got rid of the breathy female narrator. It was nice having a few people for different voices. The narrator for Rebecca was a bit annoying, but you become so enthralled in the story that you’re able to ignore it.

Now to the story. It was great… until it wasn’t. Get ready for a heartbreaking ending that makes you want to read more and more. This one was finally more Sierra like (aside from the incest), but it fits with the story.

I liked how the story came along in this installment and am excited for the last one.

What in the f*ckery goodness is even this?

I think I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy this woman's words. Simone, you have my attention once again and have me on the edge of my bed wanting to know what you could possibly throw at me. The narration is stunning for this one as well and I dare to say the narrators made this book so much more.

A very special book, made lesser by recasting.

I read this book five times before the audiobook came out, so I'd say I know it pretty well.

It was certainly the book that cemented Thornchapel as my favorite series, and I vividly remember how hypnotized I was by some of the scenes on my first read, so intimate, emotional and raw. Sierra Simone has an incredibly unique and rare ability to take you to the most miraculous places if you are willing to put your guard down enough to allow her to, and the story of Harvest of Sighs is a masterwork in that.

I know HOS is meant to center around Rebecca and Delphine but I think it's obvious that Auden and Saint are the dominant pairing once you're in it, and it's their relationship that makes this book so extraordinary and heartfelt and mesmerizing.

As excited as I was to see it was going to be a full cast, I ended up struggling with so many different voices -- especially because the two voices/characters from the previous audiobooks were recast, so it was a lot to adjust too. My primary issue was with the recasting of Zachary Webber, who gave such a TREMENDOUS and inspired performance as St. Sebastian in Feast of Sparks -- no matter how good his replacement might be, it doesn't really matter because it doesn't sound like Saint to me. I certainly appreciate that the recasting was probably to have someone Latinx voice Saint, but it doesn't make the listening experience any easier after having known the splendor of Zachary Webber as Saint.

I also had a hard time listening to so many people portraying Auden in their POVs. It was all very inconsistent and kind of painful.

I am excited to know that Zachary Webber will be coming back to voice Auden in Door of Bruises, but I'm pretty bummed about this installment of the audiobooks won't be as much a pleasure to come back to as the previous two.

Well…that happened

I was torn if I even wanted to read this because I just can’t with the incest and knowing and still doing it. So I fast forwarded through the parts where Auden and Saint were together because it made me want to vomit.
I was so excited about Rebecca and Delphines story and was devastated by the ending of this book. The casting choices for these characters was….interesting. I didn’t care for them but it is what it is.

Well it's book 3...

This is not linked in Audible to the series but it is the third book of the Thornchaple series. I was so sucked in by the end of book 2, I didn't even question purchasing this book. At this point I already didn't like Rebecca. I don't believe that this was written by someone who is an actual domme. You can correct me but she's mean and treats Delphine badly. It's a complete joke. Their whole relationship is BS. I honestly suggest reading the spoilers and then skipping to the 4th and final book. The narrator who butchers Pro-sur-pee-na should be fired, she was a terrible choice. Oh and the Saint Sebastian narrator missed the memo that this kid grew up in Texas and UK. He should not sound like he's from California. Epic narrator fail.

False advertising | Ruined by recasting

Going into this book, I was excited that Rebecca would be receiving her own voice actress. However, a huge part of the reason I purchased this audiobook was that Zachary Webber is listed as a narrator. So I was quite surprised to see that both Saint Sebastian and Poe have been re-cast.

While the person doing Saint Sebastian is decent,coming off the last book and Zachary Webber giving such a distinct voice to Saint Sebastian it was incredibly distracting and hard to listen to. Also, the woman voicing Paul is just unfortunate, and has me to the point that I am ready to return the book and ask for my money back. Even just the way she says Proserpina is nasally and awkward, so the start of each chapter is like nails on a chalkboard.

Fans of the novel, or fans of the prior audiobooks, should definitely skip this one.
