Book Gannet's Reviews > Lionheart

The Moonshadow trilogy comes to a fitting end with a cursed sleeping king and the woman brave enough to wake him up. There is magic, there is war, there is hot, sexy romance and Robin finally has a chance to return home.

If you’re a fan of this series, or the wider Elder Races world as a whole, then this should tick all the right boxes for you. We see a bit of Morgan, we get a brief chat with Sophie and Nik, and even Dragos makes a short but effective appearance. And Kathryn, a minor character who has appeared in many of the Wyr-related books, finally gets her own chance at a HEA, which nicely ties this series in with the rest.

If you’re not familiar with anything I just said, but like your paranormal romance to have a strong, occasionally overbearing hero and a heroine more than smart and capable enough to bring him to his knees, then consider more boxes ticked. The spell hasn’t turned Oberon into the nicest of heroes, but even underneath it all he’s still a king, with all the dictatorial baggage that comes with it. Seeing Kathryn dismantle that was very satisfying. They also have scorching chemistry, which helped a lot.

Mostly, though, I was happiest for Robin. It was great to see the puck have his string of important moments. I love him and I loved how Oberon was (eventually) with him.

Passionate and intense at times, fierce and satisfying at others, I really enjoyed this final piece of the Moonshadow trilogy. I can’t wait to see where the Elder Races world turns next.
