Once a King Reviews

3.5 stars This was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. The characters were good. I had little to no qualms with them. I prefer King Aodren to Lyra, but both were pretty interesting. The plot was slow at times, and I probably should've read the first two books before going into t...
This was by far my favorite in the series. I know it?s technically a spin-off from the first two books, but it felt more like a final ending to the series. I think I also liked this a lot more because it was about my favorite character, Aodren. I loved him and I was glad to see him f...

So, I actually won a copy of this book from a giveaway here on Goodreads. And as I hadn?t read the first two books, I had to go buy them right away. I?ve now read the first one and loved it, I?m looking forward to the second one, and then this one. I?ll update this review once ...
I ADORED this book. How can one not fall with King Aodren and Lirra? They are both such great characters that I helplessly fell in love with. I SHIP THEM ALL THE WAY, OKAY? As someone who never agreed to Aodren being with the other character from Ever the Brave, I am super glad Erin Su...

I was so happy when I found out Erin Summerill would be writing another book in the same world as EVER THE HUNTED, and the read did not disappoint, even with my super high expectations. King Aodren was one of my favorite characters from EVER THE BRAVE, and I'm so happy he got his own s...
I loved this book! Full review to come Update: 12/5/18- FIVE STARS! You know those books where you enjoyed them so much and then a sequel or spin off comes out and you think to yourself "there's no way this can meet my expectations"? Well that was me when I heard that the Clash ...
This is everything I love about YA fantasy! The story takes place after the events of Ever the Hunted and Ever the Brave, but you don't necessarily need to have read those first. (Obviously it would make this book more fun because a lot of familiar faces are back... but you could still...

3.5 stars This was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. The characters were good. I had little to no qualms with them. I prefer King Aodren to Lyra, but both were pretty interesting. The plot was slow at times, and I probably should've read the first two books before going into t...
This was by far my favorite in the series. I know it?s technically a spin-off from the first two books, but it felt more like a final ending to the series. I think I also liked this a lot more because it was about my favorite character, Aodren. I loved him and I was glad to see him f...
Nothing happens in this book. Nothing. Nothing kept me wanting to read more. Nothing exciting kept me on the edge of my seat. This book was literally paper with nothing on it. ...
So, I actually won a copy of this book from a giveaway here on Goodreads. And as I hadn?t read the first two books, I had to go buy them right away. I?ve now read the first one and loved it, I?m looking forward to the second one, and then this one. I?ll update this review once ...
I ADORED this book. How can one not fall with King Aodren and Lirra? They are both such great characters that I helplessly fell in love with. I SHIP THEM ALL THE WAY, OKAY? As someone who never agreed to Aodren being with the other character from Ever the Brave, I am super glad Erin Su...

2/12/18 Cover reveal and synopsis has been shared, my friends! Can't say I'm in love with it but it is reminiscent of the original duology. Although I do like the bit on the cover that says, "One secret can corrupt a realm" Also, my boy Aodren is in fact back! Along with Lirra, w...
The nation of Malam has been divided for years as its people without magical abilities oppressed and harassed those who are magically gifted called Channelers. Now that there is a new king, the young King Aodren, the nation finds itself standing at a crossroads. King Aodren wants to re...
I was put off knowing that this was book three in a series, but really it was a companion story. That said! I liked it the best out of all three books! Fast paced, fun, and so much intrigue! I think Erin Summerill just gets better. ...
Dear Aodren is getting his own novel? Sign me up. I'm still team Cohen though. ;) ...
I was so happy when I found out Erin Summerill would be writing another book in the same world as EVER THE HUNTED, and the read did not disappoint, even with my super high expectations. King Aodren was one of my favorite characters from EVER THE BRAVE, and I'm so happy he got his own s...
I loved this book! Full review to come Update: 12/5/18- FIVE STARS! You know those books where you enjoyed them so much and then a sequel or spin off comes out and you think to yourself "there's no way this can meet my expectations"? Well that was me when I heard that the Clash ...
I loved learning more about these characters and this world! Erin has done it again with another fantastic book!! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! ...

Prepare your heart for the swooniest king in all the lands! WIth poignant prose and intricate worldbuilding, ONCE A KING casts its spell from the very first pages. Fly - don't walk - to sweep up this soaring tale. ...
3.5 stars This was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. The characters were good. I had little to no qualms with them. I prefer King Aodren to Lyra, but both were pretty interesting. The plot was slow at times, and I probably should've read the first two books before going into t...
This was by far my favorite in the series. I know it?s technically a spin-off from the first two books, but it felt more like a final ending to the series. I think I also liked this a lot more because it was about my favorite character, Aodren. I loved him and I was glad to see him f...
Nothing happens in this book. Nothing. Nothing kept me wanting to read more. Nothing exciting kept me on the edge of my seat. This book was literally paper with nothing on it. ...
So, I actually won a copy of this book from a giveaway here on Goodreads. And as I hadn?t read the first two books, I had to go buy them right away. I?ve now read the first one and loved it, I?m looking forward to the second one, and then this one. I?ll update this review once ...
I ADORED this book. How can one not fall with King Aodren and Lirra? They are both such great characters that I helplessly fell in love with. I SHIP THEM ALL THE WAY, OKAY? As someone who never agreed to Aodren being with the other character from Ever the Brave, I am super glad Erin Su...
Once a King by Erin Summerill leaves off where Ever the Brave left off. With King Aodren in control of the kingdom, he works to fight off the reputation his father left behind. Lirra, a channeler with the power to control the wind, finds her life entangled with King Aodren's. They m...
I LOVED this book! Great story, great characters, great character development, great romance, great political intrigue, great fight scenes, great culture building, and fabulous magic system (among other things). This is the third book in the series. I mentioned in my review of the s...

4/5 Stars! I received Once a King as an e-galley from the publisher via NetGalley. I liked that the story of Once a King takes place so soon after the events of Ever the Hunted, yet does not include Britta. She is mentioned a couple times but isn't in the book. Which I think was ...
I need it right now!!! ...
It may be that this just doesn?t work that well as a stand-alone (I didn?t read the first two books) but I struggled to keep track of the multiple kingdoms and I kept wishing the stakes were higher than they actually were? The romance was sweet though. **ARC was provided by ...

alksdfja;lsdkfja;sdkfj I AM SO READY I CAN'T DEAL. I'm still a mess of feels from Ever the Brave. I need this. I need it. My Blog ~ Instagram ~ Twitter ~ Etsy ...

ARC received via publisher! ...
2/12/18 Cover reveal and synopsis has been shared, my friends! Can't say I'm in love with it but it is reminiscent of the original duology. Although I do like the bit on the cover that says, "One secret can corrupt a realm" Also, my boy Aodren is in fact back! Along with Lirra, w...
The nation of Malam has been divided for years as its people without magical abilities oppressed and harassed those who are magically gifted called Channelers. Now that there is a new king, the young King Aodren, the nation finds itself standing at a crossroads. King Aodren wants to re...
I was put off knowing that this was book three in a series, but really it was a companion story. That said! I liked it the best out of all three books! Fast paced, fun, and so much intrigue! I think Erin Summerill just gets better. ...
Dear Aodren is getting his own novel? Sign me up. I'm still team Cohen though. ;) ...
I was so happy when I found out Erin Summerill would be writing another book in the same world as EVER THE HUNTED, and the read did not disappoint, even with my super high expectations. King Aodren was one of my favorite characters from EVER THE BRAVE, and I'm so happy he got his own s...
I loved this book! Full review to come Update: 12/5/18- FIVE STARS! You know those books where you enjoyed them so much and then a sequel or spin off comes out and you think to yourself "there's no way this can meet my expectations"? Well that was me when I heard that the Clash ...
I loved learning more about these characters and this world! Erin has done it again with another fantastic book!! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! ...
review coming soon ...
Prepare your heart for the swooniest king in all the lands! WIth poignant prose and intricate worldbuilding, ONCE A KING casts its spell from the very first pages. Fly - don't walk - to sweep up this soaring tale. ...
3.5 stars This was good. It wasn't great, but it was good. The characters were good. I had little to no qualms with them. I prefer King Aodren to Lyra, but both were pretty interesting. The plot was slow at times, and I probably should've read the first two books before going into t...
This was by far my favorite in the series. I know it?s technically a spin-off from the first two books, but it felt more like a final ending to the series. I think I also liked this a lot more because it was about my favorite character, Aodren. I loved him and I was glad to see him f...
Nothing happens in this book. Nothing. Nothing kept me wanting to read more. Nothing exciting kept me on the edge of my seat. This book was literally paper with nothing on it. ...
So, I actually won a copy of this book from a giveaway here on Goodreads. And as I hadn?t read the first two books, I had to go buy them right away. I?ve now read the first one and loved it, I?m looking forward to the second one, and then this one. I?ll update this review once ...
I ADORED this book. How can one not fall with King Aodren and Lirra? They are both such great characters that I helplessly fell in love with. I SHIP THEM ALL THE WAY, OKAY? As someone who never agreed to Aodren being with the other character from Ever the Brave, I am super glad Erin Su...
Once a King by Erin Summerill leaves off where Ever the Brave left off. With King Aodren in control of the kingdom, he works to fight off the reputation his father left behind. Lirra, a channeler with the power to control the wind, finds her life entangled with King Aodren's. They m...
I LOVED this book! Great story, great characters, great character development, great romance, great political intrigue, great fight scenes, great culture building, and fabulous magic system (among other things). This is the third book in the series. I mentioned in my review of the s...
I really enjoyed the original duology and Once A King was such a wonderful addition! I loved how it focused on different characters and gave us a different perspective on the world. Plus there?s a wonderful hate-to-love romance. Even if you haven?t read the original duology, I thin...
*Source* Publisher *Genre* Young Adult, Fantasy *Rating* 3.5 *Thoughts* Once A King, by author Erin Summerill, is the third installment in the authors Clash of Kingdoms series. For those who have not read Ever the Hunted, or Ever the Brave, this story actually takes place short...
4/5 Stars! I received Once a King as an e-galley from the publisher via NetGalley. I liked that the story of Once a King takes place so soon after the events of Ever the Hunted, yet does not include Britta. She is mentioned a couple times but isn't in the book. Which I think was ...
I need it right now!!! ...
It may be that this just doesn?t work that well as a stand-alone (I didn?t read the first two books) but I struggled to keep track of the multiple kingdoms and I kept wishing the stakes were higher than they actually were? The romance was sweet though. **ARC was provided by ...
I can't believe I'm planning on doing this to myself.. ...
Set in the same world as the previous books in A Clash of Kingdoms series comes a new adventure featuring everyone?s favorite king! Get ready to swoon, scream, and cheer because King Aodren and Lirra are here to fight for both the people they love and readers? hearts. "I tell m...
This book takes place in the world of five kingdoms created in the previous two books, Ever the Hunted and Ever the Brave. It is best read after these books, but it can also be read as a standalone. King Aodren is doing everything he can to reunite his kingdom after repealing the law ...
This book is an absolute masterpiece. Wow. I am so incredibly pleased with the end of this series. I cannot wait to see what else Erin Summerill writes - whatever it is, it will be nothing short of magnificent. ...
Erin Summerill writes the most enchanting classic fairy tales! ...
