King of Death: Folk, Book 3

I will admit that reading the story, I was excited and reluctant, because I knew it would be the end of the series. I have loved both the first and second book, and I think of them fondly. This book had a lot more feel to it whereas the first book I would say, there was a lot more calm and peace while you were reading it. Yes, there were plot points and things of that nature but a lot of it took place in a cottage and not much happened day today. This book was much different. The pacing was different and things moved a lot faster. Also Ash’s journey and memories made me cry a lot throughout the series. And then because I’m already emotional when they talk more about Lonan, it was sad. I do get sentimental when I know a series that I love is coming to an end. I did like the last chapter. It didn’t feel like the characters lives ended, but that we were getting a glimpse in the midst of them living. I have read epilogues that tell you detail upon detail of how their lives are, and it may not always end the way that you as a reader wanted and sometimes that can be disturbing and bothersome. Whereas this was a very easy end to a wonderful series, I would highly recommend the series to anyone. I would also tell them that this takes place somewhere in the UK as it was not clear to me when I started reading the series where it took place. Lily Mayne has done a wonderful job and see myself rereading this series in the future.

I’m so thankful I was able to receive this as an ARC. This final installment of the Folk series was one Hell of an Emotional ride. Lily did an absolutely fantastic job wrapping up the series, and did not leave any loose ends. Both boys finally got their happy ending they deserved. It started on a journey of Ash losing his parents, and all the way to him becoming king of the seelie fae. He did not have the easiest time coming to terms with all that happened to him in Books 1& 2 (Ash needs some serious therapy). Along for the ride is Lonan (He need’s several hugs). He stared off as a largely unknown element in book 1. Becoming Ash’s lover as the book continues. It ends with him betraying Ash, Ash making a vow to forget Lonan, and Ash becoming Full Seelie Fae. Book 2 Lonan has to deal with Ash being unable to remember him. While Ash is trying to get his revenge on the Carlin and her sons. Leading to Ash rescuing Lonan from the Carlin bringing him onto seelie land to be safe. King of Death leads us into the final installment of Ash and Lonan’s Nightmare/Happy Ending Trial. There were quite a few bumps in the road (This is the understatement of the century). Ash is having a very difficult time adjusting to being the ruler of the Seelie even with the help of his brother Nua. He hasn’t had a time to properly process the emotional trauma he has endured during the past year or so in the Fae Realm. This leads him to make some very questionable choices with Lonan. Ash wants to keep…
