My Thoughts

A fantastic finish to a fabulous series!  Each book has been even better than the last as the action grows and the plot deepens.  Of course the romance in this novel is just as wonderful as the first five; I loved reading about the growing relationship between the feisty Birgitta and stalwart Kristoffer.  I really like how the characters are flawed to make them realistic, but they satisfactorily grow and mature as well.  This book grabbed my attention and kept me captured from beginning to end, causing me to read late into the night as I immersed myself into the fascinating, creative world.  I really liked how everything from the first five books came together; therefore, although this novel can stand on its own, I highly recommend reading the entire series in order.  This book may be marketed to young adults but I promise readers of all ages will greatly enjoy it.  Highly recommended!

My Thoughts

A wonderful addition to the amazing Knights of Brethren series, Enflamed is full of action, romance, and mystery.  I love friends to lovers tropes because the romance develops so realistically, and I really liked reading about the evolving relationship of Sylvi and Espen.  The quest for the holy lamp is packed with intrigue as Sylvi and Espen seek to find it.  There were twists that kept my attention and made it hard to put the book down.  The romance has a perfect blend of swoony chemistry characteristic of all of Jody Hedlund’s novels, yet is still clean enough for young readers.  I am always amazed at the author’s ability to consistently deliver creative plots, exciting characters, and fresh romance!  I have greatly enjoyed this series and cannot wait for the next book!  Highly recommended!

My Thoughts

This series just gets better and better!  The fantasy world that Jody Hedlund is creating with this series is phenomenal and it is easy to immerse yourself into the settings and lives of the characters in each individual novel.  Karina is compassionate, kind, and selfless while Torvald is the grumpy brooding hero that makes an interesting dynamic for their developing relationship.  Their romance is clean but still full of swoon worthy kisses.  I also loved the interwoven themes of forgiveness and unconditional love.  The quest and mystery in the book kept my attention from beginning to end.  Even though this series has been marketed to young adults, I think readers of any age will enjoy these novels!  I am excited to read the rest of the series.  Highly recommended!

My Thoughts

Although every book she writes is amazing, Ensnared might be my favorite of the Knights of Brethren series so far!  The characters are engaging, the romance is endearing, and the plot is enchanting.  I found it easy to become invested in the story almost immediately and had no trouble ignoring sleep in pursuit of knowing what came next in the story.  I liked how creative this story truly is with medieval knights, lovely maidens, and dangerous forests and villains.  I am always impressed that Jody Hedlund can continue to come up with such unique storylines with memorable characters.  I really liked the romance between Mikaela and Gunnar and enjoyed reading how their relationship grew in the story; in fact, childhood best friends to lovers just happens to be one of my favorite love tropes!  I do recommend reading this series in order as I think the story builds on previous books.  I am so excited to read the next book in the series!  Highly recommended!

My Thoughts

This book has it all—princesses, knights, intrigue, and romance!  Like all Jody Hedlund’s young adult books, this one is easy to devour and I think I read it in only two sittings.  The plot flows well and the twists and turns of danger kept my attention easily.  Both Lis and Ansgar have troubles they must handle, but I enjoyed their character development and their relationship as it grew in the story.  The descriptions and scenes are well written such that as a reader you have no problem picturing this fantastical land.  I think it is best to read this series in order as the storyline does continue between novels (and this one leaves some unfinished details).  I simply cannot wait to read the next two books in the series!
