It was incredible. I haven’t read many books, but this one definitely earns its place as a dark fantasy romance (it’s not a dark romance though). It explores several sensitive topics, so be sure to check the content warnings before reading.
The strongest point of this novel is in its characters, especially the main ones. I loved both Remnant and Emon. They are broken, yet they remain strong and powerful, loving fiercely. The novel is character-driven, so having two main characters this well-developed makes it very engaging and intense.
The plot itself is thrilling and fast-paced. It starts off light, and with each chapter, the stakes rise higher, until the end, where I was literally devouring every page.
The author clearly put all of herself into this novel, and while I know every author does this, as someone who often struggles to connect with other people’s emotions, it was a wonderful experience.
I’m so glad I found this book and I can’t wait to start reading the next book!
Jessica-Shadows Ascend
Bri has certainly put me through the emotions with this series so far, I'm not even sure if I'm ready for the last book😭
Emon & Remnant are so perfect for eachother it hurts so much (especially that ending😭), Riella is just too cute & how she learned the ancient fae language😍
Ethereal has my heart, I want him for myself. I love all the different little faerie worlds we enter to within these stories, Bri is the queen💜
M Rose- Shadows of Air and Earth
One of the most fun novellas I’ve ever read and the romance 🥹🥹🥹. I’m just blown away. I always know that when I read something from Bri I will laugh and swoon and be completely entertained with whimsical, dark action and she did NOT disappoint.
SOAAE is a prequel novella following our shadow mommy FMC from Shadows Lost and Shadows Ascend, General Remnant Dark. It is the story of how she met her legendary shadow forces and their coming together is one of such beauty and delight, it made me smile the whole way through. I completely adore our elemental twins, Xi and Riley, and getting to be in their heads and see their relationship has to be one of my favorites. While the story is lower stakes than the main storyline, this no less keeps us glued to the pages. I really struggled to put it down.
I loved the unconditional love and friendship. The goofy humor amidst the past traumas and current insecurities. The fight for those you care about and sacrifices you make to keep them with you. It was beautifully done. I think you can read this before the series or after book two and find yourself seamless.
Tropes you may find in this novella are friends to lovers, forced proximity, foreshadowing, mental health rep, elemental magic, chosen family, monsters, revenge, medium spice and that ending!
