Note: This post reviews the third book of The Defy Trilogy. You may like to read the first two books in the series, Defyand Ignite, before reading this review. 

Mild spoilers.

Alexa and Damian, now engaged to be married, have defeated the sorcerer, Lady Vera, who threatened to tear them apart. But their troubles are far from over. King Damian faces an imminent attack from the kingdom of Dansii, and Rylan – now a prisoner of Dansii – will surely die if Alexa does not attempt to rescue him. On top of that, Alexa is still being controlled in her mind by the evil sorcerer Rafe, who can force her to harm Damian at any moment.

No one is safe.

Even though Damian begs her to stay with him, Alexa makes the difficult decision to go to the aid of Rylan, helpless in the hands of the enemy. But she does not go alone. Her friend and sorcerer, Eljin, accompanies her, and together they seek to rescue Rylan.

No one is safe.

In this breathtaking finale to The Defy Trilogy, you cannot fully prepare yourself for what is to come. As the kingdom of Dansii, equipped with an army of black sorcerers, attacks not just Antion, but Blevon as well, it is almost impossible to see a happy ending in sight. Will Alexa overcome the power that Rafe holds over her mind? Will Damian be able to deliver his people from the hands of their enemies? And will both of them find their way back to each other and live happily ever after?

No one is safe…

Note: This posts reviews the second book of The Defy Trilogy. You may like to read the first book in the series, Defy, before reading this review.

Mild spoilers.

King Damian has recently ascended to the throne after removing his own father from a reign of tyranny. As he strives to rebuild Antion after so many years of suffering, Damian can see no one at his side but Alexa, ruling the kingdom with him. But she convinces herself that she would not be good for Damian, or the kingdom of Antion. She resigns herself to remaining Damian’s personal guard.

Sara B. Larson put herself in a difficult position with this sequel, after her first book was so captivating. She did not disappoint, leaving us once again on the edge of our seat! This is by far the best middle book of a trilogy that I have ever read.

Seventeen-year-old Alexa Hollen is forced into a life she didn’t want as a palace guard, charged to protect Damian, Prince of Antion, with her life. But in order to do her job, she is disguised as a boy. Her twin brother Marcel, who works alongside her in the guard, is the only other person who knows her true identity – or so they think. Alexa became the best swordsman, the best archer in Prince Damian’s guard. During this time that Alexa and Damian began to understand each other. She had believed the prince to be lazy, untrained in combat, and uninterested in the affairs of his kingdom. But Damian lets the mask he wore in public fall away, revealing an intelligent, strong, and devastatingly attractive young prince who was living in pain caused by his ruthless father.

After an attack of a sorcerer, Damian, Alexa, and a fellow guard, Rylan, are taken as prisoners. Alexa realizes that not only Rylan, but Damian too, have known her secret for quite some time: they know she is a girl. This immediately changes her relationships with both men, as their feelings for her surface.

I’m going to admit that I read the first two books of the series in one day. They were that good! Defy gets your attention from the first page and grips you till the end. It is one of those books that is nearly impossible to put down, between the action scenes and the gorgeous love story. Sara B. Larson has woven this tale so beautifully that it leaves you breathless for more!
