Wrath and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #5)
Beautifully written conclusion to an amazing journey! Fae and Crystal Thorns has been a roller-coaster of emotions. Chloe and Quintus deserved their own story, and boy did Kay deliver!
If you haven't yet, jump on this wonderful series with found family, dragons, touch her and die, and all things Fae!
This series finale, Wrath & Crystal Thorns, by Kay L. Moody started off with a reminder of the massive bombshell dropped at the end of the previous book and took off from there. The journey this misfit band of humans, fae, dragons, and wraiths (yes, really, wraiths can be the good guys!) endured had me giggling, teary, shocked, frustrated, and finally overjoyed and satisfied for the little found family that has developed through this series.
I love this magical fantasy series, and this the book which brings us to the end of the Crystalfall court series is a perfect ending. The book is a rollercoaster of emotions which keep the reader turning the pages unable to stop reading. Chloe and Quintus need to get rid of Julian who has now installed himself as the rightful king of crystalfall. He is the father of Quintus, he is a mortal and pure evil. He is the greatest enemy of Faerie and it's creatures, and needs to be eliminated if everyone else is to survive. However he has gained massive powers and intends carrying out a ritual which will make him supreme, and able to dominate all of faerie. I love the wording of the ritual which Ms. Moody came up with, it is intriguing in that it takes almost till the end of the book to make us all aware of what Julian would need to carry this out. I love the mystery which kept the tension so high throughout the book as we fear for Quintus' life most especially, but not only. I love that the wraiths played such an important role in the story and that they rallied round when needed, and that Chloe and Quintus intended the court to be an open one for every creature no matter if they were fae or mortal. This book gives us the perfect ending the series and we deserved. Thank you Ms. Moody for yet another beautifully magical series.
I fell in love with KLM’s writing on reading the Bitter Thorn series. This, book 5 in the Crystal Thorn series, is totally heart stopping! The suspense is killing but you can’t put it down! Thank goodness for Chloe! She proves that intelligence is just as important as bravery; maybe more so.
