I read the first two books of the trilogy a while back and finally got around to reading the last book.

About the Book

No one dreams of starting a war.
But without a fight there can be no revolution…

I used to protect lives. Now I’ve ended more than I’ve saved. But after being betrayed by the humans I trusted, I have no choice but to fight.

And the battle has begun.

With the truth of my fae heritage exposed, the line between friend and foe is blurred. The human and fae councils are out for blood and will stop at nothing until I, my mate, and my rebel allies are defeated.

If we lose the war, everything I’m fighting for—love, freedom, the fae I’ve sworn to protect—will be destroyed. At least there’s one thing my enemies have underestimated…

Me.

To Spark a Fae War is the final book in the Fair Isle Trilogy. This dark fae fantasy is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, ACOTAR, and The Iron King. If you like snarky fae, brooding fae royals, sizzling romance, and fierce heroines, you’ll love this thrilling tale.

*To Spark a Fae War is an upper YA/NA book intended for mature audiences. It contains sexual situations, moderate steam, violence, and gore.

My Review

I like the way the different elements are described and how fae royals from any Court can learn to wield them. I liked that Evelyn has some special powers that the full-blood fae don’t have.

Her obsession with her sister being a possible enemy was exhausting. So was the constant fighting. Some of the build-up to the final battle was quite tedious.

I liked Fehr and his role in the story.

The human technology felt a bit like that of the Fire Nation in Avatar… so, too, their obsession to destroy and conquer.

I like Evelyn most in her fox form – she has more clarity of what she wants and what needs to be done.

The way the fae are saved is bittersweet. I liked how they all worked together, utilising their different strengths, to save their world.

And that stalking kelpie…! He finally got what he wanted and served the fae royalty to boot.

Great worldbuilding and description, a thrilling adventure, romance, loads of violence, and magic.

The over-attention to their sex-life (even in the epilogue) means that “dark fae fantasy” isn’t an accurate representation: it’s a romance novel with faeries, fantasy and magic.

Obviously this wasn’t as good as I had hoped… Do you find issues with the last installment of a series? Have you read this trilogy?
