There are so many incredible characters in this world with so many possibilities! We even get to revisit beloved characters from previous books in the overall series arc, The Chosen Series. I absolutely loved Bast and look forward to Prince of Sea & Stars, and hopefully many more adventures. Count me in for all of it, with bells on! I want more of these characters, this world, and pretty much anywhere Meg Anne wants to take me.
Shane East and Stella Hunter with James Joseph is absolute perfection for casting! The performances are beautiful and powerful. So much complexity to the story, the characters, and the world. With incredible accent work and so many characters I never lost track once. Shane, Stella, and James move flawlessly between characters, accents, ages, and varying passionate displays of anger, chaos, absolute despair, elation, snark, romance, defeat, and passionate declarations of love. Just wow! I laughed, I cried, I cheered on the power of love and friendship, and I truly experienced this story in a way that would not be possible without such wonderful writing, performances, casting, and editing. More, please!
Enthusiastically LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!

As Ronan and Reyna finally fight their way, quite literally, back to each other, and with Erebos countering their every strike, we get to experience an all hands on deck rescue mission for the ages. All our favorite characters from the previous trilogies are here to help their dear friends, in a true show of power and force that not even a god can overcome in the end. And even better, when some of our stalwart favorites meet our new favorites, their personalities and interactions come together for some of the absolute best banter you will ever encounter in a book. I truly can’t get enough of these characters, and it’s a bittersweet thought knowing that we’re moving on from this universe. But I do know that we haven’t seen the last of some of these characters, so I am going to be ecstatic when I see future books that let us spend more time with them down the road (especially looking forward to Bast’s story).
I want to make a point to talk about the Princess Bride inspiration that I swear just got stronger and stronger with each book in this trilogy. I was literally giddy at one particular turn of events that played out a very familiar revenge plot, easily one of my absolutely favorite parts of the book, and it wasn’t even Ronan and Reyna’s arc (and I love them beyond words). But the combination of a fantasy universe that I’ve loved in these books, mashed up with what is arguably one of the best romantic fantasy movies ever made, well it just made my heart soar with complete joy.
The audiobook is a thing of utter beauty. Multi-cast duet narration, with a small but powerful cast of narrators that simply nail every word, every emotion, every heartbeat that this story has to give. These audiobooks will spoil you for every other audiobook, and you are truly missing out on a singularly phenomenal experience if you don’t give them a listen.
Perfect ending to the trilogy, loved every second

Favorites from the book:
Would it be too cheesy to say the whole book itself is a favorite? Yeah well sucks, because I loved the entire thing but if I must give some highlights:
- Characters: One of my favorite things about Meg Anne’s books are the complex characters that she writes, even for characters that aren’t playing a major role. As readers we never know whether or not they will end up becoming stars in their own books or maybe even spin offs. Speaking of characters:
Sebastian Villehardouin of Colvers: This character became an ABSOLUTE favorite of mine. He inserted himself in my heart and has refused to let go of the perch he now holds. I loved that this book really shed light on the character depth I knew he had and was present in the other books, only now we could see the hints for what they were. His story line was heartbreaking and boy did I freaking cry like a baby when he had his ‘prepare to die” moment.
Reyna : This character will forever stick with me. I have felt a strong connection with other female protagonist before but there was something about Reyna that just spoke to my soul in a different way. I loved seeing the “Reyna” side to her in this book. She had some moments that made me go weak in the knees, like swooning in Spanish telenovela style. She kicked ass this book
Ronan: He really did break me this book. Seeing his character go through what he did, broke my heart because I was not used to seeing a character like his go through that brokenness and then come out swinging. Ronan is the type of man who would quite literally walk through death to get to you. That dedication, hell, if it ain’t like that I DONT WANT IT
The Dreamer: If you know you know but like I said they earned what they got in the end and I loved it for them.
Caly: I freaking love Caly and have one of the biggest girl crushes on this pirate. I mean clearly I am not the only one. Several of the other characters have a hard on for her and I dont blame them. She is intelligent, sassy, and oozes this bad girl persona. I mean if we can have a thing for bad boys, we can certainly have it for bad girls.
- Bromance/ Girlmance: The bromance in this book was STRONG and I loved every single second of it. Im not just talking about Ronan and Bast btw. Those moments where Bast and another character bickered were giving me life. Not to mention that girlmance between Caly, Reyna and the two other female characters… ugh… my girl crush was real!
- Vows: Prepare thy tissues… that is all
- Battle of the Lorelei : Don’t have anything near you when you get to this, and just remember to breathe through it.
- Captains Quarters: Prepare thy fan… that is all
- The comedy, romance and action: each one of these elements were top notch. I cackled and snorted at various points with different characters, I swooned, I cried and I felt like my heart was suspended and on baited breath as action unfolded.
Narration Review
I was lucky enough to get the printed copy before listening to the audio and when I say that my inner Stella, James and Shane voices did not do these narrators justice as I read through the book would be a complete understatement. Their performances in this book are a master class on what it means to bring writing to life. They made me feel like I was reading the book for the first time all over again, and hell it was a beautiful thing. Now onto a few highlights of their performances
Stella Hunter:
- That voice that she gave Caly, gave me the biggest girl girl crush. I mean damn, it was soft, lyrical, entrancing but most of all BRITISH! No wonder Bronn and Drake were enthralled with Caly if she sounded like that. My god.
- The Vows: Oh I was ugly crying as soon as those vows began. The raw emotion that was behind the performance really brought the words to life, some points had such a vehemence that I swear I felt them in my soul. Anyone who hears them, RIP your heart.
- One thing I loved about this book is that we are able to see Reyna as herself, the Forsaken Queen, and you can feel that power and regal quality in the narrative voice that Stella gives Reyna. She infuses it in her voice, without pushing it too hard, and it makes you feel those goosebumps when she delivers those lines. It a beautiful balance and it can be down right freaking scary.
- Some of the lines that had me cackling on the floor were delivered by Stella as various characters. They always felt on time with her scene partner and the voices she gave the characters for certain performances just added to the hilarity.
- Stellas vocal range in this book was epic. There were so many different female characters within the same scene, and she kept each distinctive and we as readers immediately knew who was talking. Not once did I have to wonder who was saying what and the accent work .. Chefs freaking kiss
James Joseph:
- I place 50% of the reason I’ve had a hard time FULLY hating the baddie in this series on Meg Anne and the other 50% on James Joseph. It is down right criminal how he can make a sadistic evil GOD sound so freaking sexy. James gave Erebos a hypnotic quality that you really couldnt help but just melting into. It was honestly an experience where I truly would forget what the hell he had done until post his lines and other characters would react. Bravo.
- I was so amazed at his performance as Bast in this book. He carried that humorous/ caricature quality to him when it was needed, but being in his POV we saw a different depth to the character, that I felt James wove into his performance through out the series but was fully able to play and explore in this book. I love those tender moments, the moments of focus and they made all the more impact because of how well he built up his Bast character. Also props to James for keeping that accent and then switching into the different characters with such ease, or at least it felt like ease. It never faltered.
- There is another character who I briefly mentioned but wont go more into depth for but you could completely tell the difference between who we originally saw when this character was introduced and the influence a certain someone had over him and when it snapped vs who he really was, and it was beautiful to see that distinction.
Shane East:
- Shane East broke me a little as Ronan this book. Spherically during one of the Erebos and Ronan scenes. I had never really heard such brokenness from this character and the way that delivered it just had me weeping in a little ball. It wasn’t overly performed, it was subtle, soft and just raw. It was a stark contrast to the normal Ronan, and even the vulnerable Ronan we had seen thus far.
- There is only so much swooning that a person can do and boy, Shane just makes your naturally swoon, especially when he is playing Ronan. That moment between him and Reyna in the captains quarters, or even when they were alone. Seriously heart failure, but we knew that. He played up that flirty quality to his voice, but he also infused with a deep sense of caring.
- The moments of Bromance between Ronan and Bast and even the moments of two other characters with Bast were epic. I was dying half the time because you could hear the exasperation in the vocal performance and yet you could slightly also tell that they found joy in poking each other.

Meg Anne never fails she picks up right where she left us hanging on by a thread. Book starts with Sebastian “Bast” giving his POV and he kicks things off by keeping his eye on Ronan and Shadow aka Reyna, he’s interrupted by our friends from the Chosen Series, Effie and Lucian. I love the fact Bastia just who he is, and is so free with his wondering eyes over both Effie and Lucian however the Guardian isn’t having that . Their banter gets me every time throughout the book.
We find that Ronan and Reyna are held captive by Erevos who will stop at nothing to have his Shadow the assassin at his side . Bast and the crew making dangerous plans to save them . In this fast paced journey of dark magic, prophesy and death we are in for a ride . I am going to fast forward because this book has left me in pieces ,because I didn’t want it to end. Also i don’t want to give the amazing finale away So many twist, turns and gut punches in this finale . I will say if you want the full back story of charactersI would start with the The Keepers first books 1-3 , Then the Chosen 1-3 so that these characters mentioned you will understand how they all come together .
The narration is top shelf , I cannot express how Stella Hunter , Shane East and James Joseph have so much talent, as they narrate these characters I feel as though I know them all personally . Meg Anne writes these fascinating stories so intriguing you cannot stop as I always say “ Just one more character” . The nods to the “Princess Bride “ are priceless – but hey don’t be the one hearing about it, be the one talking about it . This is my honest review of this amazing book .
One helluva ride ! Hold on tight for this amazing Finale

I absolutely loved the cameo appearances from other characters in previous books.
The narrators, Stella Hunter, Shane East, and James Joseph are fantastic narrators. They elevated the story and breathed life j to the characters. The variety of tones and inflections used are great. The emotions come across very clearly.
I absolutely recommend this series but make sure to read it in order.
Loved it.

So much scorching heat between Ronan and Reyna. My goodness! I needed to fan myself quite a bit. The other thing that I loved through this book was not only the emotion, but the humor. I caught myself giggling along with every silly thing Bast said.
And though I didn't think it would be possible, Kieran's story arc surpised me in a good way. The epilogue with him was perfect!
Two other characters that I'd love to see more of were Calypso and Drake. Like, what happened with the bet? Why wasn't he talking? I need to know!
And last but not least, Stella Hunter, Shane East and James Joseph took Meg's characters and gave them a life of their own. Absolutely amazing quartet of talent..I'm including Meg in that because she wrote every word those narrators said.
