Make Her

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Make Her is the third and final installment of The Transformation Trilogy. You can find my review for Bend Her (book 1) and Break Her (book 2). This series has been a slow build throughout it. As the books go on, the storyline has picked up the pace. Bend Her really focused on the world building. Break Her focused more on Lisane and Rhaim getting to know each other. Make Her brings both together and has more fast paced action, lots of spice, and you find yourself rooting the whole way through.

I did not care for Lisane throughout most of the story as a whole, however, in Make Her, she really grows and becomes more likeable. She is no longer child like in her thinking. Having the opportunity to experience the world, she learns and gains a better understanding of how sheltered she was, and she knows that is not what she wants anymore. I really appreciated the character development of both Lisane and Rhaim in Make Her. They were hard to relate to or like in the earlier stages of their relationship.

You finally get all the answers as to what is happening in the kingdom and who the “bad guy” is. The grand finale was slightly underwhelming for me. The chapters towards the end of the story, the “aftermath” was also slightly underwhelming. I do not want to give spoilers. Even with that, the story was still great. I just felt I got shorted maybe with the end LOL.

Death’s Fate

I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I was not paid for my review.

Death’s Fate is book 2 following, Death’s Captive. This book picks up at the cliff hanger. I will say, this book was much easier to read, and went much faster. At first it felt like it was going to be much of the same, but I liked seeing Astra and Thane come together in their own way and in their own time. All odds are against them. Fate truly is a cruel mistress. In Death’s Fate the two are on the search for Luna and Hecate to break the curse so that Thane and Astra can truly be allowed to love and be together. You learn more about their relationship from each new regeneration, and it appears in this one, it is the furthest they have gotten to the truth. Without giving spoilers, it appears a “fail safe” if you will is put into place in order to ensure it is the last go around for these two.

This book had more spicier scenes, but they are mostly almost fade to black. You get some snippets and then they are waking up. At least this time, they eventually allow themselves to love each other. I liked that the story came along better. We even get to see one of my favorite bachelors from the Kindle Vella series “Hitched Live” that is now it’s own book called Sweet Revenge (I really liked reading this one), so this made me very happy. I will forever be #TeamSlade all the way.

Once again, we see the same damn descriptive words CONSTANTLY- azure orbs, lupine, and coalescence. I mean it felt like every page. It becomes all I can focus on. I will continue on with this series. After getting past the first book, I enjoyed book 2 much better and felt like I was starting to finally connect with the different characters. Once they start putting the pieces of their history together, it takes off for me. In this story, it really does feel like they are going to make it….or are they? Get your copy of Death’s Fate on February 1st! As a warning, book 2 absolutely also ends on a cliffhanger, so be prepared for that! Per Amazon, it looks like the third book may release April 25, 2023.
