With Faeraven on the brink of war, Rand is faced with a life-altering choice; Mara is torn between escape and learning the truth; and the future hangs in the balance.

My Thoughts:
The third book in the Tales of Faeraven is just as surprising as the first two. Just when you think things are okay the story pulls you left and right. Janalyn Voigt has such a way of crafting a fantasy world while weaving scripture into the story and making it relatable as always. I wished there was mention of a time skip for this book. Unlike book two, this book takes place a few years after the events of book two. This also was a bit more confusing as point of views switched up more frequently.
This book is centered around Mara and the secret of her life. Mara was an interesting character. She was bold and sassy. She reminded me of her father and aunt combined. I loved how she went head first into things without really thinking things through. She handled everything pretty well. I can't wait to see her do more as the heir of Faeraven.
Elcon is still a comical character! I enjoyed his interaction with each character. He definitely is fit for High King. He took care of his people and his family the best he knew how.
Emmerich is still the wise man! I LOVE him! I have since book one. I just love the guidance and wisdom he provides to each character. I appreciate that he disappeared for a while to allow the people to come to their senses. I'm curious as to his true plans however.
Kai is still the strong, protective and caring man that he was from book one. I'm glad I got some answers concerning his disappearance in book two. The things going on with Shae are a bit frightening. I hope that gets solved.
Arillia was a bit annoying to me with her insecurities. She allowed Aewen get to her and ruin the better part of her marriage. I feel like she needed to grow up and move forward instead of being stuck in the past.
Rand was an interesting addition to this series. I enjoyed him and how different he was from his father. He definitely was kind hearted. I loved seeing him stand up against his father.
Freaer, as usual, is twisted and annoying. I seriously cannot stand him and hope he goes by the end of book four.
Overall, great addition to the series! Excited for DawnKing which is book four.
