“She had looked at him like he was the only star in a sky full of darkness.”
I’m going to keep this spoiler free which means you need to read it!
This book was amazing! It picks up the story from the previous book, and we are thrown into the anguish of making tough choices and not feeling in control of your life. You feel the emotions right along with the characters, and it is beautifully written. It will wreck you and leave you wanting more!
The characters’ growth and the story development continue to build and is expertly woven book to book. I love delving into the additional POVs so you really get to know the characters and understand them. Torin finally steps up and takes over like the baddie he is. Emara is becoming the Empress the world needs and taking it to the patriarchy. She is battling a darkness within that she is trying to hide, but a sinister force recognizes it and is coming for her. This book left me thinking about it for days!
This series is a must read! It’s so good. Read if you like:
✨magic
✨intrigue
✨secrets
✨paranormal
✨twists and turns
✨touch her and die
✨found family
✨banter
✨steamy spice
and more delicious tropes we love in fantasy books!

Y’all… I could not put this book down!! There are soooo many swoony Torin moments and I am so here for it. I seriously could not stop highlighting his sweet lines as his love for Emara continues to grow. Emara continues to come into her power and I love seeing her stand on her own in the magical world. Viktir still sucks so much, but I think his character arc fits him well (I won’t say more because, spoilers). I’ve come back around to like Gideon again, and I’m secretly rooting for him and Sybil.
There’s quite a few character lines that are left unresolved, and I think we are in for an amazing book 4. Breighly, Artem, Kellan and Arlo get more page time and I love how much we learn about them. Honestly, Artem provides the best comic relief and I love his relationship with Emara!

The story shortly after the events in Fire and Steel, and let me tell you, the angst and yearning completely shattered me. The growth of Emara as she embraced her true self was truly awe-inspiring. The development of the characters was skillfully portrayed, their emotions so authentic that I couldn't help but experience both tears and laughter alongside them. Emara is a regal figure who fearlessly vocalizes her determination to bring about change for women everywhere, going to great lengths to make it a reality.
The romance portrayed in this story is absolutely exceptional; Torin's unwavering love for Emara knows no bounds as he steadfastly opposes anyone attempting to separate them. I found myself utterly captivated by their affectionate moments. Torin with his tender words, gentle touch - everything about him just made me swoon! He worshipped Emara like she was a goddess!
Artem and Breighly are an angsty couple that perfectly complements one another. Their connection ignited like an inferno; there was an undeniable intensity between them that kept me hooked throughout. Artem had this remarkable ability to turn serious situations into comedic ones effortlessly while Breighly embodied strength and sassiness like no other.
True to Noelle's signature style, the ending hit hard with its cruelty and brutality - it left me in tears yet again! I'm desperately longing for book 4 so I can find out what fate has in store for my cherished characters once more. It feels incredibly unfair not knowing how things will unfold for them...
If you have not yet read An Empress of Air and Chaos series, why are you hesitating? This SERIES is a revelation that you never knew you needed!
