A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3)

by
A Vow So Bold and Deadly is the final installment to Brigid Kemmerer's popular YA-Fantasy Cursebreakers trilogy.
I have an issue closing out trilogies and series. Mainly, I put it off because I don't want my experience with them to end. I definitely feel that's why it took me so long to read this.
Honestly, now that I've completed it, I am really sad.
Why did I do this to myself? I'm not ready to say goodbye to Emberfall, Harper, Rhen, Grey, and even Lia Mara. I'll sleep fitfully tonight.
All jokes aside, is this the last time I am going to see these characters? I know Forging Silver into Stars is related, but how related? If you know, comment below!!
Since this is the 3rd-book in the series, I'll try to avoid revealing too much about the plot. I sort of feel like I'm the last person to read it, but you never know what other procrastinators could be lurking around.
Firstly, I was giddy with happiness about returning to this world. It felt so good to be reuniting with the characters I had grown to love over the previous two novels.
I enjoyed how Kemmerer formatted this series, with Rhen and Harper being the focus of book 1, Grey and Lia Mara, book 2, and everyone getting equal play in this one. I felt like that was a clever choice and a great way to get the Reader to attach to everyone equally.
At this point in the story, you do have characters on opposing sides and that was difficult to read. I wanted everyone to be back together and happy.
Grey was definitely pulling my attention in this one. He was being his best badass, alpha male self and I was absolutely, 100%, here for it.
There was still so much drama involving Rhen, but I did really feel for him and his circumstance. It felt so hopeless at times. I feel like Kemmerer captured the desperate nature of his feelings so well. It tore at my heart.
I loved how this felt, as we were moving back and forth between the various perspectives, you could tell you were building up to a big showdown. It was super enjoyable as the tension continually increased.
When everything came to a head, I was reading so quickly. I had to know the ultimate outcome. I did love the conclusion as well. It wasn't stars and rainbows and fairy tale happily ever afters, but it did make sense, and I think it was as satisfying as could be wished for many of these characters.
As sad as I am that this journey through Emberfall is finally over for me, I'm definitely looking forward to picking up more of Kemmerer's Fantasy work!!

"I feel for Rhen and Harper, but I hope what Lilith showed Harper while literally torturing her, doesn't change the way Harper views Rhen. No one is perfect and people grow, let's not forget that..."
