Shadow & Storms: An epic romantic fantasy (The Legends of Thezmarr Book 4)

Great writing and story telling, action and adventure. Characters to love. Great conclusion and plenty of spice 😉 absolutely loved this series and can’t wait for more from this Author.

Can’t believe this series is over, it’s so much fun, just a great all rounder romantasy series (indie too!) and just let me escape from life.Wilder and Thea will always have my heart - it was so nice to have a book where they had become the best version of themselves, reaching peak character development and seeing how badass they can be together.Great battle scenes and general group scenes. Some things I predicted, didn’t things I didn’t which is a nice mix.Not 5 stars because I was unsatisfied with a few plot points that I thought were rushed. I would have liked more on these two points, felt abit anticlimactic and underwhelming considering the significance they had in the previous books.Now that the series is complete, I’d say read the novella (Slaying the Shadow Prince) before first before the series or just before book 3 as the characters pop up in the 3rd and last book.Sad to finish the series but incredibly excited for Wren’s story in Helen’s new series. Love Helen, I will read her future series from now on.

This was an absolutely amazing conclusion to what has been one of the best romantasy series ever. Each book gets better and better and Shadow & Storms didn’t disappoint. From the very beginning it picks straight up where Fate & Furies ended and you are thrown straight away into action upon action the way Helen can bring you all the emotions possible within in just the first few pages just proves what an outstandingly good writer she is.The love story between Thea and Wilder is one of the most beautifully told I have ever read, these two will forever hold a piece of my heart. Alone they are a force but together they are a formidable pair and will literally burn the world down for the other. The way Wilder loves Thea is heartbreakingly beautiful he supports Thea and encourages her on the Journey she has taken from the very first book is amazing, I’ve loved seeing her character growth throughout each book.Everything I have come to love from the first book is still very much forefront in Storm & Shadows, the epic worldbuilding, one of the best found family’s you could ever want, banter and friendship that is so endearing, plot development that just keeps getting better and better, sisterhood and female representation that is so well written and one of the most beautifully written love stories that I have ever come across in Thea and Wilder.I’m so excited to see what comes next in this world and can’t wait to see what develops next for certain characters. I will be sad to say goodbye to Thea and Wilder but I am so happy that we are getting more from this epically beautifully written world that Helen has created.Thank you so much Helen for writing a forever favourite series

It's taken me a while to sit back and write a review that does this incredible book and series justice, but I've been struggling to find the words it deserves...So I'm going to write a letter instead.Dear Helen,Thank you for the privilege of this incredible gift you have given to us.You have created characters with such depth, that whilst powerful, remain perfectly and humanly flawed and identifiable. You have created relationships which are real, bonds which cannot be broken and have put female empowerment at the very heart of your writing.Thezmarr is mystifyingly beautiful. Rugged and raw with a wealth of natural beauty which makes me dream of being there.You have expertly told us a nail-biting story which carries incredible action, woven into detailed world-building, which has us immersed from the very first line to the last.Thea, Wilder and all of the amazing (characters is not a strong enough word) FRIENDS will live in my heart, for they are my friends too. I laughed and cried with them over and over again.So I will thank you again, for this really is a gift and I feel so privileged to have been a part of this journey ❤️

A great finale to an amazing series, A major war to defeat the darkness and find the true being behind all of the evil in their world. It was a close call to who won but eventually with the help of the women warriors of the past goodness won through. Good people were lost including Anya Thea and Wrens sister that they had only just got to know but at least now their world was safe. A great series.

Love this series so much. The found family is one of my favourites. So much action. Thea is such a great main character, a fierce female warrior. It’s a must read fantasy romance.

This series has completely taken over my life. I started out with this one on a random recommendation on booksta, and wow. This series is everything. Book 3 left us on yet another cliffhanger and Book 4 picked us up right there, ready to ROLL. Thea continues to be my favorite FMC - and especially now with her new power, she is ready to get back what's hers.Wilder is more and more and more of a freaking winner of an MMC every step of the way has Thea's back. He stands by her side and lets her be the warrior she was always meant to be.Yes, there are steamy scenes that are some of the BEST I've read, but the relationship between our MCs along the way is sweet, romantic, full on emotional, and makes those scenes that much better.Trauma is a big player here between both Thea's and Wilder's experiences at the end of book 3 and it was so impactful reading them trying to figure out how to navigate that together, along with finally discussing the fate that's been hanging between them throughout the series.And the SIDE CAST????? Literally have never read a better side cast - easily on the level of the inner circle and I'd argue better because they have so many different personalities. Kipp and Cal are absolutely adorable and wonderful, the truest of friends to our dear Thea, and always strike a beautiful balance between the comic relief and the fearsome warriors in their own right. Anya, Wren, Torj, even Vernich, are all interesting and hold their own within an already outstanding cast.Puh-lease read this series, because it is perfect. Everything you ever wanted.

Slow clap. An amazing conclusion to the Legends of Thezmarr series. Absolutely loved it! Was action packed right off the hop. There were several surprises I didn't see coming. Wilder and Thea are just perfection 👌. This epic romantic fantasy series has all my favorite things - rich complex world, detailed plot with mystery, characters you cant help but adore, beautifully painful love, the fiercest FMC, and one of the best found families.  Helen is one of my all time fav authors!

Ahhhh this book! i've been waiting for it 4 months! it was so worth the wait, i love the characters,the story line, the struggles and happy moments and the funny moments even more, Kipp, Cal and Thea are the perfect group of friends never a dull moment with them together. i love the way the relationships grew, whish there was a sequel(there is a new series coming up next year perhaps some characters will be back)There was heartbreak, heartwarming and spicy moments too. This book felt well balanced with plot twists that i wasn't expecting. i recommend all 4 books but , personally i would read the Slaying the Shadow Prince as a prequel i did after because i only learned of it after finishing the first 3 books, but i understood Hawthorne better reading the prequel.it was an easy read, finished in 2 days .Happy Reading!!!

I didn't think I would love The Legends of Thezmarr this much before reading it! From the first chapter of book 1 (Blood and Steel) to the last line of book 4 (Shadow and Storms) I was HOOKED!This series is everything I wanted to read since I began reading fantasy 20 years ago : written by a woman, a lovely and rich world building, a fierce and reliable FMC, a swoon worthy and dreamy and wild MMC (he likes to rip clothes off !), the most lovable side characters EVER (I want them as friends so bad), magic, monsters, twists and subplots, a beautiful romance with the right amount of spice, found family, hope.I was kind of a mess when i finished series, I didn't want to leave my beloved characters. One of my fav series of all times (and I've read A LOT) that I'll re-read multiple times with great pleasure.

The fourth and final book in Helen Scheuerer's Legends of Thezmarr series is finally out, and I loved every second of it.The level of world building in these books is amazing. It's brutal and vibrantly written so you feel how vast the mid-realms are. I can't believe Thea and Wilder's story is over, but being able to see their growth, personally and as a couple, over the course of the books has been amazing. Their relationship has always held a wonderful blend of passion, loyalty and strength. They're able to support each other without taking away from themselves. Reading Thea's arc from alchemist to Warsword has been one of the best stories of female strength and power. She's brutal and fierce and I love her so much. Wilder is always behind Thea encouraging her to be the best she can be, even whilst dealing with his own darkness. Helen creates charming and engaging secondary characters that will also steal your heart. Cal and Kipp are obvious favourites. The female bonds of sisterhood are explored and evolve between Thea, Wren, and Anya for the duration of the book. We get to see their vulnerabilities as newly acquainted siblings, to how they change, being able to accept what's happened previously, working towards becoming better versions of themselves and realising they're better together.There's plenty of action and tension that will have you flipping through the pages to the epic conclusion. I loved how everything came together and you can see all the pieces from the previous books woven into this book. I'm so glad we get come back to the mid-realms for another adventure, and I can't wait to see where the story goes next.
