Book Three of the Knights Dream series is finally here and I was swept along for the ride!
Book Two ended on a cliffhanger of massive proportions and I loved that this one picked up right where it left off. Mate Number 3 is revealed and he is …. Oh boy. Just read it and find out. 🥵🥵
I love that Lyra has challenges with this new mate. He pushes her boundaries and unleashes a part of her that she hasn’t seen before. Her confidence with herself grows as she becomes more stable in her ever evolving relationship dynamics. It was nice having a Dom personality enter the group but I loved watching him get push back as well, having his possessive tendencies realize not everything is in his control.
The majority of this book takes place off campus due to plot circumstances and as a byproduct some of the beloved side characters take a major backseat. This book focuses on Lyra and 2 of her bonded mates, with small glimpses outside of the trio as the plot develops. I did miss seeing Lyra’s friends and I hope that book four brings them back into the story as they added diversity and lightness that was somewhat missing.
I enjoyed the way that Axel got character development even though he is outside of the mate bond. I always knew something more was going on and having it be confirmed was so gratifying.
We also get a bit of a surprise in this book when it comes to the mate bond. It did result in the pacing of the story feeling a bit more fast paced than the previous books, and I hope that next books balances it more out. However, I am NOT complaining. Except that I am because the author knows that she did us dirty. There may have been a voice memo DM sent to her ranting (in a loving way) about what she did.
Overall, such a great continuation of the series and the CLIFFHANGER was jaw dropping. I can’t wait for the fourth and final book of this series!!
