War brought them together. Love will tear them apart. Alliances form across Mytica and beyond as royals and rebels alike race to hunt down the Kindred—the four elemental crystals that give their owners god-like power. The stakes have never been higher for Magnus and Cleo, who are brought together by a life or death decision that will lock their fates and change the course of the kingdom forever. THE REBELS forge ahead. Princess Cleo slays with sweetness—and a secret that might control Lucia’s magic—as she and vengeful Jonas lead the hunt for the all-powerful Kindred. THE KRAESHIANS join the fray. Ashur and Amara, the royal siblings from the vast kingdom across the Silver Sea, prove to be just as ruthless as they are charming as they manipulate their way to victory. THE WATCHERS follow Melenia out of the Sanctuary. They ally, in the flesh, with King Gaius, who vows to use Lucia’s powers to unveil the Kindred. And which side will Prince Magnus choose, now that everyone he’s been betrayed by everyone he’s ever loved?

MY THOUGHTS
When I read Falling Kingdoms, I thought it was amazing, but I didn't love it. Now, after reading Rebel Spring and this book, I am quite happy to say that this series has become one of my all-time favorite fantasy series.

In all fantasy books, the world is extraordinarily important. If the world is not well-developed, then, really, the book will be a confusing mess. This series, though, the world is so complex, vivid, and very dark! I can really imagine myself within Mythica! And the history of these countries are well explained are actually major parts of the story, this becoming clearer and clearer as the series goes on.

This series has a very large cast of characters and, much like the world, all of them are well-developed. I lost track of how many perspectives there were in this book, but it's more than the last few books. But this makes perfect sense for the book and it was very easy to follow! The most interesting fact about the characters is that they all have flaws and the line between good and bad is a blur. Many of the different characters see other characters as enemies, which makes it very hard to differentiate who is good and who is bad. For some reason, I loved this!

The character relationships are very tense. It is very hard to trust anyone in this environment, so many of the relationships are full of distrust. For good reason, as they are also full of betrayals and twists! One other thing is romance. This is not a romantic series, at all, but there are a full romantic relationships. These are so very confusing (but I loved it, of course. I loved pretty much everything about this book) because, with all the betrayals and worse, you have no clue if this is an actual romance or a fling. I really had a hard time shipping things! Though, I now have my mind set on a new ship...

IN CONCLUSION
I really cannot stress how much I love and recommend this series! Really, I think this book was the best so far in the series! I am very much looking forward to the next book and the spin-off series coming out this summer!
