ik snap wel dat de mensen teleurgesteld waren over dit boek. dit boek draait voornamelijk om Grey en om een nieuw karakter genaamd Lia Mara en je volgt beiden. Rhen en Harper krijgen ieders een hoofdstuk maar komen er niet vaak in voor. Grey is op de vlucht nadat hij erachter gekomen is dat hij de halfbroer is van Rhen en de moeder van Lia Mara is de koningin van een naburig koninkrijk en wil niets liever dan partners worden met Rhen door haar dochter met hem te laten trouwen, haar andere dochter niet Lia Mara. Lia Mara en Grey leer je beiden beter kennen in dit deel net als de broer van Harper en diens vriend. ik heb erg genoten van dit deel en ben benieuwd wie we allemaal gaan volgen in deel drie en of dat het laatste deel is.

a heart so fierce and broken – Brigid Kemmerer

Harper has freed Prince Rhen from the curse that almost destroyed his kingdom. But all is not well in Emberfall: rumours are rife that there is a rival heir with a stronger claim to the throne and that ‘Princess’ Harper of Disi is nothing but fraud.

Grey has fled the castle carrying a terrible secret. When he is discovered by soldiers and returned to Ironrose by force, Grey’s allegiances begin to shift. And as he grows closer to an enemy princess, he is forced to decide whether he will stand against Rhen for the crown he never wanted.

het derde en laatste deel van de Simon Snow serie. Penelope en Shepard doen er alles aan om de vloek van Shepard te verbreken. Simon en Baz doen er alles aan om uit te zoeken hoe het zit met de nieuwe chosen one en gaan op zoek naar de stiefmoeder van Baz als die verdwenen is. Agatha zoekt uit wat ze wil in haar leven en wordt weer terug getrokken naar Watford. weer een spannend boek met humor en een aantal wendingen die ik niet verwacht had maar ook die voorspelbaar waren. erg genoten van dit boek met een leuk einde van een leuke serie.

any way the wind blows – Rainbow Rowell

In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward.
For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn’t, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she’s smuggled a cursed American Normal into London, and now she isn’t sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough.
Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet.
This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest.
Carry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

het derde en laatste deel van de trilogie. je volgt in dit deel Rhen, Harper, Grey & Lia Mara. ze moeten alle vier leren omgaan met de veranderde situatie en er alles aan doen om ervoor te zorgen dat er geen oorlog komt ook al is niet iedereen het daar mee eens. dit boek was spannend met een aantal onverwachte wendingen die ik niet verwacht had. ook was dit boek soms erg ontroerend. een mooi einde. erg genoten van deze trilogie.

a vow so bold and deadly – Brigid Kemmerer

Grey has been revealed as the rightful prince of Emberfall. But the kingdom is crumbling fast, torn between his claim and that of the reigning Prince Rhen and Princess Harper.

Newly crowned as Queen of the enemy kingdom Syhl Shallow, Lia Mara struggles to rule with a gentler hand than her mother. But as Grey moves closer to claiming the crown of Emberfall, both Harper and Lia Mara are forced to question where they stand – and how far they can follow the dictates of their hearts.

Brigid Kemmerer’s heart-pounding saga comes to a thrilling climax, as two kingdoms come closer and closer to conflict – and an old enemy resurfaces who could destroy them all.
