Heir to Dreams and Darkness by Ben Alderson | book tour
AD | book tour – there was never a doubt that I would be jumping on the final installment of the Court of Broken Bonds trilogy and the third and final book in the series – Heir to Dreams and Darkness – did not dissapoint.
Need to catch up first then take a look at the first two tours:
THE BLURB
Lightning raced over my skin as we touched. It cascaded through the room, sparking every candle to life. I would not let death and ruin take him from me. I was not ready for this to end.
The demon Lilyth has returned. With an army of shadows at her back, she claims all magic as her own, threatening to drain all light and life from the world.
To stand against her, Max must unite rival gods and kingdoms that have warred for centuries. It seems impossible, but Max is not alone. Danger has forged his friends into a new family and bound him to an ice-breathing dragon.
Most powerful of all is his passion for Simion. Possessed by the burning magic of the phoenixes, Simion is more heated, more unpredictable. And his desire blazes brighter than ever.
But Max’s bonds of love make him vulnerable. Lilyth will take anything—or anyone—from him, to get what she craves. If he hopes to defeat her, Max must be ready for any sacrifice.
Can Max and Simion’s passion survive the war ahead? Or will the destruction of the world they know tear them apart?
WHAT I THOUGHT OF HEIR TO DREAMS AND DARKNESS
I really enjoyed this final installment of the series and thought the ending tied everything up very well. There was a lot packed into this last book though which means that there was a lot to unpack. I’ll be honest and say that some character development suffered as a result and new people were not given the time for us to actually care about them.
The ending was brilliant but there were two little scenes at the end which just felt incredibly odd. Obviously setting up for a spin off series rather than actually adding anything to Max and Simion’s story. I didn’t take away from the book though which was brilliant and brought all of the strands of Aldrian together beautifully.
I can’t say much more without giving away spoilers but I will say that this has been a great trilogy and I have loved following Max as he grows from a servant to a king, and then on to honorable warrior.
