Malachite and Fione are very worthy of being two of the best supporting characters that have been written, not just because of how they hold up their friends but because their own personalities and stories are relevant and strongly woven into the plot. Scenes with him and Zera are the most heartwarming parts of the book and seeing them together after all this time-without secrets, lies, and pain dragging them down-is the biggest dream come true. He’s strong, kind, honourable to a fault and very very smart. A man who would truly get down to his knees and get his hands dirty to help his people. What makes him one of my most favourite characters that Sara Wolf has ever written is that he is worthy of being King. Lucien, whose pain was almost a lash against our senses in the previous book, is once again the man we recognise. But Zera now carries a blame that weighs the weight of a world of lives and she’s determined to do whatever she needs to do to save the world and this time she has all the help and support of her friends. Zera is everything we remember her to be and her relationship with her friends grow and blossom from the seeds she’d sowed and nurtured in the beginning. The tension, fear, and foreboding are right there with the reader as the book spirals because of one single choice that everyone grapples to control the consequences of. The final instalment picks up from the absolute second that the previous one stopped at and the moment was a stark memory in my mind that needed no reminder.

By the end of the second book, the shock we receive is unexpected as everything comes together and the pain of the change recedes in the face of the truth. The second book takes everything we know and love and sets it aside and we start to scramble to understand this new world where everything we know has changed. The first book had us sinking straight into the worlds of Zera, Lucien, Malachite, and Fione and they become beloved to us in a moment, dragging us into their lives and emotions until we yearn to experience the connection they share. When I received this book on my Kindle, I was both absolutely ready and utterly unprepared to dive into it. Send Me Their Souls by Sara Wolf is the third and final instalment of the Bring Me Their Hearts series.
