“𝙂𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙪𝙥, 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡.”
“𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦.”

Remember when I said Annie Anderson emotionally damaged me in book two?
She wasn’t done. 😩

Broken Fates picks up exactly where Stolen Embers left me: angry, emotionally compromised, and fully prepared to fight fictional men on Vale’s behalf.

Not to mention, it starts with Vale going after her sister and no one notices for hours.
No one.

Not.
One.
Single.
Mate.

Oh wait. JK.

Idris notices and says nothing because he’s a petulant three-year-old and this is why he’s in timeout for 2/3 of the book.

Let me break down the first half of this story:

Vale: “You abandoned me.”
The men: “In our defense…”
Me: “No. No defense. Straight to jail.”

“𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣. 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.”

Have I mentioned I love this woman?

Vale continues to be my favorite kind of heroine: powerful, stubborn, fiercely protective, and completely unwilling to accept less than she deserves.

And honestly?
Good for her.

After everything she sacrificed, watching her finally tell her mates that she’s done proving herself and it’s their turn to fight for the relationship was one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

Know 👏 your 👏 worth 👏
Queen. 👑

And then there’s Rune.

Not as present in book three as he was in the previous books, but of course when he shows up, he makes it count.

We get:

Angry Rune:
“What took you so long?”

Devastated Rune:
“You left me like this.”

Judgmental Rune:
“After all she sacrificed for me—for us. And you failed.”

Oof.

Meanwhile, Talek somehow went from “I don’t trust this guy” to “welcome to the family, you sarcastic little weirdo.”

“𝙃𝙞𝙢, 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚, 𝙢𝙮 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙.”

Okay, sir.
You can stay.

Broken Fates delivered everything I wanted from a finale: answers, heartbreak, found family, dragons, emotional healing, villains getting exactly what they deserved, and enough badass Vale moments to make me want to run through a wall.

The spice might not have been spicing, but in fairness, these people were a little busy saving the world.

The best part?

“𝙎𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙞 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚.”

The scream I SCRUMPT.

The second-best part?

Rune.

It’s always Rune.

If you love dragons, found family, badass heroines, emotionally constipated men, and series finales that actually stick the landing, Broken Fates was the perfect ending to the Severed Flames trilogy.
